“…This is in agreement with previous studies (Hennelly, Harrison, Kelly, Jacob, & Barrett, 2000;Ludwig et al, 2008;Shimizu et al, 1999;Troude et al, 2012), though this association might be confounded by maternal age.…”

“…In our study, unexplained infertility and ovulation problems were strongly associated with conception and live birth, in agreement with other studies (Cahill, Meadowcroft, Akande, & Corrigan, 2005;Hennelly, et al, 2000;Troude et al, 2012). Spontaneous conception was lower in cases where there was male factor infertility and in women with bilateral tubal damage, as also reported previously (Cahill et al, 2005;Troude et al, 2012).…”

“…Spontaneous conception was lower in cases where there was male factor infertility and in women with bilateral tubal damage, as also reported previously (Cahill et al, 2005;Troude et al, 2012). Couples who had four or less IVF/ICSI cycles had a higher chance of spontaneous conception than those who had more than 4 cycles, in agreement with Troude and Pinborg (Pinborg, Hougaard, Nyboe Andersen, Molbo, & Schmidt, 2009).…”

“…However, little information is available on which to counsel these women following either successful or failed ART as to the likelihood of falling pregnant and achieving a live birth. Small studies have reported variable conception rates between 5% and 22% depending on the cohort used and duration of followup (Ludwig et al, 2008;Troude et al, 2012). The aims of the present study were: (i) to assess the cumulative conception and live birth rates following successful and unsuccessful IVF/ICSI treatments; (ii) to compare the outcomes of spontaneously conceived pregnancies with those conceived in the same cohort of patients by IVF/ICSI; and (iii) to identify the factors that may positively influence conception and live birth rates.…”

The objective was to determine the likelihood of conceiving spontaneously following cessation of IVF/ICSI; how long does it take and what factors are associated with conception? The design was an internet-based survey. All registered users of www.ivf-infertility.com received an electronic questionnaire addressing issues relating to the duration and cause of infertility, number of IVF/ICSI cycles and outcome, whether they conceived following cessation of IVF/ICSI and the time taken to conceive and outcome. Four hundred and eighty four patients responded of whom 403 met the study criteria. The overall cumulative live birth rate over a 6-year period following cessation of IVF/ICSI was 29%. Eighty-two percent of conceptions occurred within 2 years. Positive factors associated with spontaneous conception were unexplained infertility (p = 0.02), ovulation dysfunction (p = 0.01), infertility less than four years prior to IVF/ICSI (p = 0.045) and 2 years or less since discontinuation of IVF/ICSI (p < 0.001) and up to four attempts at IVF/ICSI (p = 0.02). In conclusion, 29% of couples conceived spontaneously over a 6-year period following the cessation of IVF/ICSI. The findings of this study can be used to counsel and reassure women following IVF/ICSI.

“…This has been estimated at around 14% within two years [34], while a more recent larger study suggested a figure of 24%, albeit over a period 9 years and mostly in younger couples with unexplained fertility as a diagnosis [35]. It is likely that accurate information regarding the reasons for dropping out will be beneficial for deriving a better estimate of the actual CLBR in a specific cohort.…”

ObjectiveWe first estimated the prevalence of primary and secondary infertility in Tanzania and then examined its association with recent experiences of intimate partner violence (IPV).MethodsWe used cross‐sectional data from the Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey 2022 and included 6894 women aged 20–49 years to estimate the prevalence of primary and secondary infertility. In a subset of 2802 partnered women who were surveyed about physical, emotional, and sexual IPV, we also examined the association of any form of IPV in the 12 months prior to the survey with both primary and secondary infertility using multivariable logistic regression.ResultsThe prevalence of primary infertility was 1.8% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.0, 3.1) and secondary infertility was 15.4% (95% CI: 2.1, 61.0). Primary infertility was higher in urban areas (1.9%) compared to rural areas (1.7%) (P < 0.001). Over one‐third (37.9%) of the women who were surveyed concerning IPV reported experiencing at least one form of IPV in the 12 months prior to the survey. Almost one‐fifth (18.3%) of women with secondary infertility had experienced at least one form of violence in the past 12 months prior to the survey, compared to 1.5% with primary infertility (P = 0.656). Women with secondary infertility were 1.58 times more likely to have experienced any form of IPV (aOR = 1.58, 95% CI: 1.08, 2.33).ConclusionsIn Tanzania, the high prevalences of both infertility and IPV and the link between the two warrants the need for strengthening infertility care and treatment and support for women experiencing IPV.
