InfertilityMaleThe aim of this study is to investigate if adding a fixed volume of a physiological solution to a freshly produced sperm sample will affect sperm characteristics.
The Effect of Laughter Yoga on the Stress Levels of Infertility Women
Laughter YogaThis research is a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of Laughter yoga on the stress levels of infertility women. Randomization was provided in the sample included in the study, and it was divided into experimental and control groups. At the beginning of the study, the Infertility Stress Scale was applied to women in both groups to determine their stress levels. Afterwards, 8 sessions of laughter yoga were applied to the experimental group for 4 weeks. No application was made to the control group. After 4 weeks, the Infertility Stress Scale was administered to the women in both groups to re-determine their stress levels.

The Effect of the Mind/Body Program for Fertility, Hungarian Version, on Well-Being and Assisted...
InfertilityFemaleInvoluntary childlessness is an emotionally stressful experience; however, psychosocial counseling is typically not available in Hungarian routine fertility care. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to examine the effectiveness of a Mind/Body psychological fertility intervention for women in reproductive treatment. We hypothesize that participants of the Mind/Body Program for Fertility, Hungarian version, will have more favorable psychological well-being, ART outcome results than participants of the Fertility Support Groups.
Youth Outlook on Life Opportunities Study
ChildbearingDelayed4 moreSingapore's fertility rate is currently below 1.2, raising concerns about population ageing and long-term sustainability. The fertility decline is characterized by falling birth rates among women in their 20s with almost no recuperation among women in their 30s. This project explores a) whether informational imperfections help to account for high intended ages at childbearing in Singapore, b) whether informational interventions significantly affect ideal and expected ages at marriage and childbearing, and expected probability of undergoing social egg freezing, and c) whether informational interventions significantly affect expected and actual educational outcomes and labor market outcomes. Our hypotheses are: University students have knowledge gaps about age-related onset of infertility, assisted reproductive technologies and local policy initiatives related to age at marriage and childbearing, especially among male students. Being exposed to accurate information in these domains leads to significantly lower ideal/expected ages at marriage and childbearing, and higher expected probability of undergoing social egg freezing, immediately after the intervention. Being exposed to accurate information in these domains does not lead to lower educational and labor market expectations immediately after the intervention among either male or female students, or to significant differences in module choices, Cumulative Average Point (CAP), starting salary and employment status of university students in the following academic semester and six months after graduation, among either male or female students.
Modulation of Reproductive Microbiota by Ligilactobacillus Salivarius CECT5713
AbortionSpontaneous2 moreThe objective of the project is to elucidate if the oral administration of Ligilactobacillus salivarius CECT5713 is capable of improving the rates of term pregnancies in couples with infertility problems of unknown cause. On the other hand, the project is aimed to detect microbiological, immunological and hormonal markers that allow the identification of couples in which the administration of the strain could be particularly effective. This is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group controlled nutritional intervention study. The intervention (Ligilactobacillus salivarius CECT5713 or placebo) will be performed during the 6 months prior to the fertility treatment and during the first IVF cycle (estimated 1-2 months). In case of pregnancy, the woman will continue the treatment until 12 weeks of gestation.
Extended Culture of Day 3 to Day 5 Frozen Thawed Day 3 Embryos Versus Day 5 Frozen-Thawed Embryos...
Female InfertilityCryopreservation of embryos and oocytes has become routine in assisted reproduction technology (ART). Live birth rates following frozen embryo transfers have increased significantly. Data show that cryopreservation has significant improved survival rates and cumulative pregnancy rates, as well as the safety of ART . Embryo cryopreservation has become a cornerstone in ART. With improved vitrification techniques. Frozen embryos transfer (FET) shows equal or even higher implantation and pregnancy rates than do fresh embryo transfers ART Previous studies show equal or even superior outcomes regarding pregnancy and live birth rates with frozen versus fresh embryo transfer Cryopreserve all embryos have increased substantially in recent years, and according to the recent trend of a freeze-all strategy. This study aims to answer a clinical question encountered in daily practice regarding at what stage embryos should be frozen.
