  • Recent advancements in infertility therapy include ovarian tissue preservation, particularly in women undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy. This involves freezing the woman's ovary and reimplanting after she has undergone therapy for future fertility. [1]
  • Uterine transplants have been successful in women with mullerian agenesis to achieve fertility. [2]
  • Poor quality of oocytes are seen in older women, which have a higher rate of chromosomal aneuploidy can be treated with ubiquinone or coenzyme Q10 as these play an important role as antioxidants.[3]
  • Administration of letrozole along with gonadotropin stimulation in IVF has been proven to be beneficial, particularly in women with breast cancer. Letrozole decreases concentration of serum estrogen during ovarian stimulation. [4]
  • Mitochondrial transfer from donor oocyte to a mature oocyte of the patient was attempted by Cohen et al, which resulted in a higher success rate and improved embryogenesis. [5]
  • Pre-treatment of patients with androgens has shown improved response to gonadotropin stimulation and general improvement in pregnancy and live birth rates.[6]
  • Time lapse imaging is a cutting edge technology that allows us to view the developing embryo after fertilization and perform a continuous evaluation. TLI has emerged as a superior tool in selection and optimization of embryos for implantation. [7]
  • Pre-implantation genetic screening is done to check for aneupolidy using embryo biopsy using trophectoderm tissue. Screening is also done to check for an elevated amount of mitochondrial DNA which has been associated with poorer outcomes. [8]
