Background And Aims: Motility and morphological defects of spermatozoa can cause male infertility. Sperm RNAs are related to sperm quality. They are considered to have clinical values as a biomarker for assessing sperm quality and fertility potential.

The objective of this study is to assess the effect of cryopreservation on fertility potential, motility, oxidative stress (OS), DNA fragmentation, microRNAs (miRNAs), and apoptotic target genes in the infertile men compared to the fertile men. All 40 samples were divided into two leading groups of fresh and cryopreserved sperms.

However, there are little data regarding its use.
Objective: We aimed to compare the effect of oral Utrogestan and Cetrotide (a GnRH antagonist) on preventing LH surge in ART cycles.
