A new study used a mathematical model to simulate embryo biopsies, finding that fully euploid embryos are rare, while aneuploid or mosaic embryos were more common. More details in link in comments. #ivf #fertility #infertility

A new study reviewed how fibroids can compromise the endometrium and prevent embryo implantation, identifying key issues such as disrupted blood flow and vascular changes, abnormal endometrial peristalsis, inflammatory responses, and changes in the microbiome. Link in comments. #ivf #fertility

A new study combined the results of 142 studies to investigate how age affects the uterus and pregnancy outcomes after IVF. They identified a number of changes, including decreased endometrial thickness and lower pregnancy rates with age. Full story in comments. #ivf #infertility #fertility

The world’s first birth using a special type of in vitro maturation, involving the use of ovarian support cells, has been reported. Although data is limited, this method might one day revolutionize the way IVF cycles are performed. Link in comments. #ivf #infertility

A new randomized controlled trial investigated the use of growth hormone (GH) in normal responders, finding no differences in IVF and pregnancy outcomes. Link in the comments. #ivf #growthhormone

A new study compared cumulative live birth rates for patients based on their age, the number of eggs retrieved and diagnosis. They found that age had the strongest impact on live birth rates. Link is in the comments. #ivf #infertility

A new meta-analysis evaluated the use of artificial oocyte activation (AOA) on IVF outcomes, finding improvements in fertilization and live birth rates, but only in patients with a history of fertilization problems. Link in the comments. #ivf #infertility #fertilization

A new meta-analysis combined the results of 12 studies comparing different IVF trigger shots, including hCG, GnRH agonist, and dual/double triggers. Triggers showed variable outcomes, highlighting the need for a personalized medicine approach. Link in comments #ivf #ovarianstimulation #infertility

An IVF mix-up resulted in two couples raising each other's child, the New York Times reports. More info and the link in the comments. #ivf #infertility #embryo

Researchers have discovered that mutations in genes that code for specialized proteins called kinesins could lead to increased risk of aneuploidy in eggs and accelerate the aging process. Check the full story on Remembryo, link in the comments. #ivf #embryo #pgta #oocyte #infertility

Let's walk through this time-lapse of an embryo graded as a 3AA, from a former embryologist! Check the link in the comments to watch the video (I can't upload videos longer than 60 sec on bluesky). #ivf #infertility #embryology #embryologist

A recent study identified the risk factors for IVF lab errors, finding that working past 4 pm, specific procedures, and variability among embryologists all contribute to mismatches. Link in comments. 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐈𝐕𝐅 𝐥𝐚𝐛 𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐬? #ivf #embryology #infertility #embryotransfer
