Psychological Impact of COVID19 Among Women Undergoing Infertility Treatment
Infertility TreatmentWomenIn France, one couple in eight encounters difficulties to conceive. The diagnosis of infertility frequently leads to symptoms of anxiety and depression. These symptoms appear to be higher than in the general population. Some recent studies have looked at the relationship between anxiety and depression in ART cares. Results are controversial, but it appears that patients with lower levels of anxiety and depression have higher pregnancy rates. Moreover, in couple, women seem to have more symptoms of anxiety and depression than men. First epidemiological studies related to the COVID 19 pandemic have shown strong psychological impact on the general population with an anxiety rate estimated at more than 30%. With COVID 19 pandemic and cessation of ART, it is highly likely that psychic symptoms of anxiety or even depression may have appeared or worsened in women undergoing infertility treatment.

"Study of the Effects of Serum and Follicular Fluid Relaxin Levels on Ovarian Function in IVF Cycles"...
InfertilityReproductive Techniques2 moreThe study evaluated the effect of serum relaxin and follicular fluid levels on the number and quality of oocytes, fertilization, the number and quality of the embryos in IVF protocols.
Application of Lactobacillus Salivarius CECT5713 in Infertility of Unknown Origin
AbortionSpontaneous2 moreIn this study, we aimed to assess the cervicovaginal environment (pH, Nugent score, soluble immune factors and bacterial profile) in women with reproductive failure because of either repetitive abortion or infertility of unknown origin and compare it to that of healthy fertile women. The second objective was to evaluate the ability of Lactobacillus salivarius CECT5713 to modulate such parameters and to increase pregnancy rates in women with reproductive failure. The administration of L. salivarius CECT5713 (~9 log10 colony-forming units (CFU)/day) for 6 months or until a diagnosis of pregnancy to women with reproductive failure resulted in an overall successful (term) pregnancy rate of 56%.
Health of Frozen Transferred Versus Fresh Transferred Children
InfertilityIVFIn order to give strong recommendation on the efficacy and safety of fresh versus frozen embryo transfer, we conduct this study in order to investigate the physical and mental development of children from fresh versus frozen embryo transfer. Based on our Freeze-only study (Vuong et al., 2018), the women without polycystic ovary syndrome undergoing the first or second IVF were randomly assigned to receive either fresh or frozen embryos on day 3 after oocyte retrieval, which leads to the similarity in characteristics of these two groups. Hence, the result from analysing these offsprings would be preciously valuable.
The Study of the Implantation Window From Endometrial Biopsy With Gene Expression Methods
InfertilityFemale1 moreThe objective of the study is to gain a better understanding of the gene expression changes in the endometrial biopsy especially whether the endometrium has reached a receptive status, i.e. the implantation window, or not.
Treatment-related Quality of Life and Patient-Centred Care With Infertility
Patient Centred CareCompliance4 moreThis study was conducted in a cross-sectional descriptive type with 160 infertile women who were treated in the IVF Clinic of a university hospital between July - October 2020 in order to evaluate the effect of patient-centered care approach in infertility on treatment-related quality of life. The data of the study were collected face to face through the "Introductory Information Form" "Patient Centered Care Form for Infertile Women" and "FertiQol Treatment Module".

Prothrombotic Biomarkers and Ovarian Stimulation
SterilityFemale2 moreThe aim of this study is to assess the impact of different protocols used for ovarian stimulation during in vitro fertilization procedures (IVF) on prothrombotic biomarkers (blood coagulation markers associated with thromboembolic events) in the units of reproductive medicine in two university hospitals (HUG, Geneva and CHUV, Lausanne).
