“…It is this that may have led to a significantly lesser increase in AMH levels and to a diminished decrease in FSH and LH levels. Till date, women in menopause embark on HR aiming for relief from vasomotor symptoms and other menopause-related conditions [73,74]. The authors refrain from attempting a comparison of PRP application to other widely accepted and applied approaches of routine clinical practice status.…”

Intraovarian platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion was recently introduced in the context of addressing ovarian insufficiency. Reporting on its effectiveness prior to adopting in clinical routine practice is imperative. This study aims to provide pilot data regarding PRP application for ovarian rejuvenation. Four pilot studies were conducted on poor ovarian response (POR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), perimenopause, and menopause, respectively. Each pilot study reports on thirty patients, 120 participants were recruited in total. All participants provided written informed consent prior to treatment. Primary outcome measures for the POR pilot study were levels of anti-müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count (AFC) and oocyte yield. For the POI, perimenopausal and menopausal pilot studies primary outcome measures were restoration of menstrual cycle, and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) levels. A significant improvement on the hormonal profile and the ovarian reserve status was noted, along with improved intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle performance concerning POR participants. Menstruation recovery was observed in 18 out of 30 POI patients, along with a statistically significant improvement on levels of AMH, FSH, and AFC. Similarly, 13 out of 30 menopausal women positively responded to PRP treatment. Finally, menstruation regularity, improved hormonal levels and AFC were reported for 24 out of 30 perimenopausal women. To conclude, PRP infusion appears to convey promising results in addressing ovarian insufficiency.

“…Samples were composed of women (n = 19), a mixture of couples with single women or men (n = 15), or exclusively of men (n = 3). In two studies the gender was not clearly described (Garel et al, 2009;Stuart-Smith, Smith, & Scott, 2011). Samples ranged from two participants (Phillips, Elander, & Montague, 2014) to 50 participants (Isupova, 2011).…”

OBJECTIVE To systematically retrieve, critique, and synthesize patients’ human responses about living with infertility and identify possible related nursing diagnoses according to NANDA‐I. METHODS Systematic review of qualitative nursing studies. FINDINGS A total of 39 papers were included, 49 human responses, and 77 potential infertility‐related nursing diagnoses were identified across three themes. Main foci matching nursing diagnosis were related to spiritual well‐being, spiritual distress, and resilience. CONCLUSIONS Patients respond to infertility in a variety of ways and this raises the need for a more effective, holistic, and accurate nursing diagnosis. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The accuracy of the nursing diagnosis is critical in raising the quality of the nursing process and in meeting infertile patients’ circumstances and care expectations.

“…One major factor that could have a negative influence on the couples’ psychology is the cancellation of cycles in IVF, combined with no oocyte retrieval [65]. In particular, these patients have presented with both physical and psychological burden, stress, anxiety and even depression [66].…”

“…In particular, these patients have presented with both physical and psychological burden, stress, anxiety and even depression [66]. In cases of consecutive failures, it is anticipated that extra time will be required in order to overcome this state of mind prior to proceeding with further treatment [65]. Consequently, the time frame required for concluding multiple efforts towards a successful IVF treatment is lengthened.…”

Background: Emergence of Luteal Phase Oocyte Retrieval (LuPOR) may revolutionize the practice regarding the time-sensitive nature of poor responders ascertaining a higher number of oocytes, in a shorter amount of time. This may be especially important in view of employing the approach of natural cycles for Poor Responders. We suggest the acronym LuPOR describing the clinical practice of luteal phase oocyte retrieval. The aim of the study is to offer insight regarding the identity of LuPOR, and highlight how this practice may improve management of the special subgroup of poor responders. Materials and Methods: The present retrospective observational clinical study includes the collection and statistical analysis of data from 136 poor responders who underwent follicular oocyte retrieval (FoPOR) and subsequent LuPOR in natural cycles, during their In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment, from the time period of 2015 to 2018. All 136 participants were diagnosed with poor ovarian reserve (POR) according to Bologna criteria. The 272 cycles were categorized as follows: 136 natural cycles with only FoPORs (Control Group) and 136 natural cycles including both FoPORs and LuPORs. Results: Our primary results indicate no statistically significant differences with regards to the mean number of oocytes, the maturation status, and fertilization rate between FoPOR and LuPOR in natural cycles. Secondarily, we demonstrate a statistically significant higher yield of oocytes (2.50 ± 0.78 vs. 1.25 ± 0.53), better oocyte maturity status (1.93 ± 0.69 vs. 0.95 ± 0.59) and higher fertilization rate (1.31 ± 0.87 vs. 0.61 ± 0.60) in natural cycles including both FoPOR and LuPOR, when compared to cycles including only FoPOR. Conclusion: Our study may contribute towards the establishment of an efficient poor responders’ management through the natural cycle approach, paving a novel clinical practice and ascertaining the opportunity to employ oocytes and embryos originating from a luteal phase follicular wave.
