  2. Article ; Online: IUI is a better alternative than IVF as the first-line treatment of unexplained infertility.

    Abstract The treatment of a condition with no known cause, such as unexplained infertility is, unsurprisingly, controversial. The alternatives that have been suggested for the first-line treatment are expectant management, ovarian stimulation, intrauterine insemination (IUI) with or without ovarian stimulation, or IVF. As far as live births are concerned, the choice has realistically been narrowed down to IUI with ovarian stimulation by low-dose gonadotrophins using strict cancellation criteria versus IVF. In several well-designed studies, three cycles of the former have proved as successful as one cycle of IVF. As IUI is less invasive, more comfortable for the patient, markedly less expensive and safe with a high compliance rate, it should be recommended for the first-line treatment of unexplained infertility for couples in whom the woman's age is not more than 38 years.

    Abstract Obesity is an emerging global epidemic with a negative impact on fertility. Almost all guidelines and policies have a stringent limit of body mass index (BMI) to access fertility services which has promoted a debate amongst fertility practitioners globally. Proponents of placing such a limit point to the negative impact of elevated BMI on the outcome of fertility treatment, its cost effectiveness and the risk it poses to the intending mother and unborn child. Opponents of placing a restriction base their arguments on the lack of conclusive, robust evidence regarding the variables along with the ethical dilemmas of promoting discrimination and stigmatization by denying a couple their basic right of parenthood. In this review, we analyse these medical and ethical dilemmas in the light of current evidence. The focus is on female infertility.

    Abstract Recent years have seen a dramatic rise in the number of frozen-thawed embryo replacement (FER) cycles. Along with the advances in embryo cryopreservation techniques, the optimization of endometrial receptivity has resulted in outcomes for FER that are similar to fresh embryo transfer. However, the question of whether the Freeze all strategy is for all is nowadays a hot topic. This review addresses this issue and describes current evidence based on randomized controlled trials and observational studies. To date, it is reasonable to perform FER in cases with a clear indication for the benefits of such strategy including impending ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) or preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A); however, this strategy does not fit for all. This review analyses the pros and cons of the freeze all strategy highlighting the need to follow a personalized plan in embryo transfer, avoiding a freeze all methodology for all patients in an unselected manner.
