Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate whether the number of oocytes retrieved after controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) for fertility preservation (FP) can be predicted using serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels in adolescent and young adult (AYA) women.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study in a large university-affiliated fertility center. AYA women aged 11 to 25 years received COS using gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocols for FP were enrolled. Those with canceled cycles or incomplete data were excluded. The primary outcome is to determine whether the number of oocytes retrieved can be predicted through serum AMH levels using multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: The mean numbers of oocytes retrieved, mature oocytes retrieved, and oocytes cryopreserved were 10.3 ± 7.6, 6.9 ± 6.2, and 8.5 ± 6.8, respectively. Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis revealed that serum AMH level independently predicts COS outcomes, including the total number of oocytes retrieved (adjusted R = 0.222, P < 0.001), the number of mature oocytes retrieved (adjusted R = 0.102, P = 0.013), and the number of oocytes cryopreserved (adjusted R = 0.153, P = 0.003).
Conclusion: Serum AMH level was a significant predictor of the number of oocytes retrieved after COS for FP in AYA women, while antral follicle count and age were not significantly related.

Elevated level of platelet factor 4 in follicular fluid is associated with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Objective: This present study aimed to measure platelet factor 4 (PF4) protein level in follicular fluid of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and analyzed the correlation between follicular PF4 level with clinical characteristics.
Methods: Sixty-seven women (36 PCOS patients vs. 31 non-PCOS women) were enrolled in the study.
Study Question: Can patient age and ovarian reserve tests predict the number of cryopreserved oocytes in patients undergoing one or more ovarian stimulation cycles for elective oocyte cryopreservation (EOC)?
Summary Answer: A predictive model incorporating patient age, antral follicle count (AFC), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and FSH levels achieved the greatest predictive accuracy.
What Is Known Already: As a consequence of societal evolution, women are increasingly delaying starting a family. However, the natural decline in ovarian reserve and oocyte quality as age advances can increase the risk of age-related fertility decline (ARFD) and involuntary childlessness.
Optimizing IVF lab workflows through data-driven insights: associations between lab management, procedural timings, and workload with blastulation rates.

Study Question: Do IVF laboratory workflows influence the mean blastulation rate per cohort of inseminated metaphase II oocytes (m-BR)?
Summary Answer: Neither the total number of procedures nor the workload per operator affected m-BR; instead, each additional hour in the interval from ovulation trigger to oocyte denudation (range 36-44 h) was associated with a measurable decline, especially beyond the 40-h threshold.
What Is Known Already: Control of laboratory conditions and standardized protocols are essential for optimizing m-BR in IVF. While advancements in technology and culture systems have improved ART outcomes, the effect of laboratory managerial decisions and procedural timing on embryological outcomes remains unclear.
Clinical outcomes from assisted reproductive technology in predicted hyper-responders: a narrative review.
Minerva Obstet Gynecol

Brussels IVF, University Hospital of Brussels, Brussels, Belgium -
The management of assisted reproductive technology (ART) in predicted hyper-responders to ovarian stimulation represents a complex and challenging clinical scenario, whereby the benefits of higher oocyte yield must be balanced against the drawbacks and risks of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. This review explores advances in ART for hyper-responders, focusing on adapted stimulation protocols, ovulation triggering, cryopreservation, and personalized strategies to optimize outcomes. In-vitro maturation of oocytes, an emerging alternative, is gaining traction for increasing live birth rates in selected cases and expert centers.

This study aimed to produce embryos in vitro using oocytes from endangered Anatolian Native Black calves and to increase the number of embryos in the gene bank through LOPU, a method not previously studied in Turkey. Four Anatolian Native Black calves, approximately 3 months old, were used.
