Women who carry a BRCA mutation experience menopause earlier, on average, than women who do not have a mutation, but the difference does not appear to affect fertility.
We discuss the basis for the growing use of AMH in assessment of the ovarian reserve across the lifespan, and its emerging role in assessment before and after cancer treatment.
Obesity has an impact on semen quality, and adipokines appear to influence semen parameters potentially in conjunction with body mass index.
There are considerable knowledge gaps among Australians of reproductive age about the impact on fertility of age, weight, smoking, and timing of sex.
Young women undergoing chemotherapy experience acute changes in ovarian reserve that recover in the months after therapy is completed. The rate of recovery of AMH is impacted by pretreatment levels.
General population study of spontaneous fertility after ectopic pregnancy, according to the treatment. Conservative strategy should be favored, especially for patients with risk factors of infertility.
Reflections on “Fertility following tubal ectopic pregnancy: results of a population-based study” by De Bennetot et al.

Adding recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone to human chorionic gonadotropin treatment protocols in adolescent/young adult men with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism results in normal testicular growth and may hasten induction of spermatogenesis.
The impact of early hormone therapy on fertility outcomes in patients with Klinefelter syndrome is not well understood. Semen or testicular tissue cryopreservation should be considered in affected adolescents to maximize future fertility potential.
Self-reported psychosocial stress, anxiety, and depression were not associated with fecundity. Any adverse effect of stress or psychological disturbance does not appear to be detectable via the questionnaires administered.
Ovarian function was restored and pregnancy achieved in a woman who had previously undergone bilateral oophorectomy for benign disease and in whom frozen-thawed ovarian cortex was subsequently autotransplanted.
This study showed half of the women treated with ultrasound-guided drainage for tubo-ovarian abscess in combination with antibiotics were later able to conceive naturally.
Antral follicle count and antimullerian hormone rate of decline is similar to histologic oocyte loss.
Measures of ovarian reserve are impaired among cancer survivors compared with unexposed females of similar age. The degree of impairment is dependent on the toxicity of the previous treatment.
Laptop computers connected to Wi-Fi may reduce human sperm quality. Sperm motility and DNA integrity were decreased after 4 hours of exposure to a laptop ex vivo.
A significant biological pathway, the cell cycle,was identified along with signature protein staining patterns after gene expression of the receptive endometrium was determined via laser microdissected glands and stroma.
