Ovarian Tissue Freezing For Fertility Preservation In Women Facing A Fertility Threatening Medical...
CancerHematologic Disorder2 moreThe purpose of this research is to obtain ovarian tissue from female participants who will receive therapy which is expected to result in a loss or impairment of ovarian function and/or infertility and wish to preserve (freeze) ovarian tissue for the purpose of initiating a pregnancy in the future. Removal of the ovary for cryopreservation is an investigational procedure. 100% of the tissue will be used for the participant's future use. There have been 86 pregnancies as a result of frozen ovarian tissue that has been re-implanted back into the pelvis and hormonal function has been restored in individuals for up to 7 years. By doing this study, the investigators hope to learn of how to successfully freeze and thaw ovarian tissue in a manner that permits subsequent use by patients at some point in the future. Participation may also advance our knowledge of how to successfully mature follicles and oocytes (eggs) that are contained in these tissues which may help others in the future.
Ovarian Stimulation With Recombinant Gonadotropins vs. Human Menopausal Gonadotropin in In Vitro...
InfertilityThe purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the outcome of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) according to the type of medication used for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). The study compared the pregnancy rate obtained by 398 patients who had received COS with recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (rFSH) plus recombinant Luteinising Hormone (rLH) in 2:1 ratio vs. the one observed in 450 patients who had been treated with human Menopausal Gonadotropin (hMG), stratifying results according to the number of retrieved oocytes.
Use of a Synthetic Macromolecule (Hydroxypropyl Cellulose ) and Trehalose as Additives for Oocyte...
InfertilityThis study is aimed to evaluate the use of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (HPC) as substitute for the traditional protein supplement (Synthetic Serum Substitute; SSS) and Trehalose as substitute for the most widely used sugar (Sucrose) in the vitrification solutions employed for oocyte vitrification.
Comparison of Standard ART Practice vs. Trophectoderm Biopsy and Whole Chromosome Analysis
InfertilityRecurrent Pregnancy LossWe propose to perform a clinical randomized trial to evaluate the effect of blastocyst biopsy and whole chromosome analysis by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) in comparison to standard Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) methods on on implantation rates, miscarriage rates, and pregnancy rates. This will be three studies into one: a) a comparison of treatment (NGS) and no treatment, b) a non-selection study based on the control group for which we will replace without knowing the ploidy of the embryos, but we will know it later, c) a retrospective study about the use of Mitochondrial DNA as a selection tool.
Screening of Low Responders for Aneuploidy to Improve Reproductive Efficiency
InfertilityThe purpose of this study is to assess the impact of Comprehensive Chromosome Screening(CCS) on patients with low ovarian reserve in an effort to improve success during in vitro fertilization and decrease the time to successful pregnancy.
Blastocyst Euploidy Assessment and Conditioned embryO traNsfer
InfertilityThe study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) for infertility patients of advanced maternal age undergoing assisted reproductive treatment. Half of the patients will have their embryos tested by PGS and 1 or 2 chromosomally normal embryos with the highest morphological grading transplanted back to the uterus. The other half of the participants will not have their embryos tested and 1 or 2 untested embryos with the highest morphological grading transplanted back to the uterus.

Comparison of the Number of Oocytes Obtained Between Chinese and Caucasian Women in IVF Treatment...
SubfertilityIVF is a well-established method to treat various causes of infertility. Some studies have suggested that ethnicity affects the success of IVF. This is a prospective study involving two tertiary IVF units in Hong Kong and Australia. The IVF outcome between Chinese and Caucasians will be compared.
