The effect of slow versus fast application of vulsellum on pain perception during copper intrauterine device insertion: A randomized controlled trial
Conclusions Slow vulsellum application could reduce the pain scores during IUD insertion as compared with fast vulsellum application. Moreover, it is associated with less amount and duration of bleeding from the vulsellum puncture sites. (Source: Middle East Fertility Society Journal)

Pulmonary embolism and intraperitoneal bleeding in a patient with severe ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS): A management dilemma
We describe a case of 33-year-old Bahraini woman who presented to the Bahrain Defense Force Hospital (Banoon Center) with a history of 13 years primary infertility, and previous unsuccessful intrauterine insemination. Through the In-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment cycle she had Ovarian hyperstimulation which was further complicated with ovarian bleeding and pulmonary embolism. Our case addresses this rare complication and its management challenges related to the event of thromboembolic disease with anticoagulants in the presence of bleeding.

Patient-centered infertility care from an Arab perspective: A review study
Conclusions We found that no study comprehensively described what infertile Arab couples prefer, need, and value. A contributing factor to this conclusion may be in the methodologies used. Further studies are needed to adequately answer the research questions. (Source: Middle East Fertility Society Journal)

Influential effect of age on oocyte morphometry, fertilization rate and embryo development following IVF in mice
Publication date: Available online 12 October 2017 Source:Middle East Fertility Society Journal Author(s): Masoomeh Mohammadzadeh, Farzaneh Fesahat, Arezoo Khoradmehr, Mohammad Ali Khalili Changes of oocyte quality and decreasing of ovarian follicle reserve in advanced age are the major challenges in infertility treatments. One factor associated with aging is the thickness of zona pellucida, which has adverse relation with embryo score. Although, there is no correlation between perivitelline space and granulation with embryo quality, an inversely correlation is observed between these two factors with subsequent embry...

Effect of estradiol valerate on the pregnancy rate in patients receiving letrozole for induction of ovulation
Conclusion This study showed that the pregnancy rate achieved with letrozole/estradiol valerate combination was significantly higher than with letrozole alone. This was attributed to the improvement of endometrial thickness by estradiol valerate. (Source: Middle East Fertility Society Journal)

Effect of oral Tadalafil on endometrial thickness in patients receiving Clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction
Conclusion This study showed that the pregnancy rate achieved with Clomiphene citrate/Tadalafil combination was comparable to that achieved by Human Menopausal Gonadotropins and significantly higher than with Clomiphene citrate alone. This was attributed to the improvement of endometrial thickness by Tadalafil in Clomiphene citrate stimulated patients. (Source: Middle East Fertility Society Journal)
