The hypothesis of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) was first proposed 20 years ago, suggesting that during IVF elimination of aneuploid embryos prior to transfer will improve implantation rates of remaining embryos and, therefore, increase pregnancy and live birth rates, while also reducing miscarriages. Subsequently, unvalidated and increasingly unrestricted clinical utilization of PGT-A called for at least one properly randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess cumulative live birth rates following a single oocyte retrieval, utilizing all fresh and frozen embryos of an IVF cycle.

Pregnancies achieved via ART are increasing, and cffDNA testing is displacing traditional prenatal screening methods due to its high sensitivity and specificity and noninvasive nature. However, conflicting data exist on cffDNA testing performance and FF in ART pregnancies compared with natural pregnancies.

Culture environment is known to be important for the developing preimplantation embryo. TLSs provide a stable milieu allowing embryos to be monitored in situ, whereas embryos cultured in standard benchtop incubators experience environmental fluctuations when removed for morphological assessment.

Tubal pathology is a common cause of subfertility and tubal patency testing is one of the cornerstones of the fertility work-up. Both THL and HSG are safe procedures and can be used as a first-line tubal patency test.

Starting ovarian stimulation at any time of the cycle (‘random-start’) is commonly used for emergency fertility preservation in cancer patients. A few retrospective studies have been published evaluating LS in women undergoing ovarian stimulation in the context of IVF, but there is a lack of robust data on the comparative efficacy of LS versus FS.

Live birth rates after ovarian tissue transplantations have been reported to be between around 24% and 41% per patient. Success rates seem to be negatively associated with increasing female age at the time of tissue cryopreservation and with pelvic radiation. Success rates are apparently not reduced after overnight transportation of ovarian tissue before freezing.

There is compelling evidence for maintaining embryo-endometrial synchrony to optimize clinical outcomes following FETs, which could potentially be achieved by matching the transfer time of an embryo post-ovulation to its developmental age post-oocyte retrieval. For modified-natural cycles, ovulation is widely accepted to occur ∼40 h following the hCG trigger, whilst ovulation following spontaneous LH surge onset is thought to vary from 24 to 56 h.

Couples with unexplained subfertility and a poor prognosis are often treated with IUI-OS. In couples with unexplained subfertility and a relatively good prognosis for natural conception (>30% in 12 months), IUI-OS does not increase the live birth rate as compared to 6 months of EM. However, in couples with a poor prognosis for natural conception (<30% in 12 months), the effectiveness of IUI-OS is uncertain.

Recent findings indicate that time to pregnancy can be significantly shortened by targeting the fertile period, but some reproductive care guidelines recommend instead the practice of intercourse every other day on the basis that it is less stressful to the couple. Evidence to support guidelines on how to preserve well-being and psychosocial adjustment and optimize pregnancy chances is lacking.

Studies have shown that in the human endometrium, BSG expression is menstrual-cycle dependent and its expression was significantly lower in uterine endometrium during the luteal phase of women experiencing multiple implantation failures after IVF than in women with normal fertility.

The differences in perinatal outcomes of children born after FET and fresh ET are well known. FET is associated with an increased risk of large-for-gestational-age but diminished risks of preterm birth (PTB), small-for-gestational-age and decreased perinatal mortality compared to fresh ET. However, knowledge on the long-term health after FET is scarce.

Previous pandemics in the 20th and 21st centuries have been associated with a decline in birth rates 9 months after their peak, and a rebound in births over time. Lockdowns were necessary to control the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and may have had an impact on subsequent birth rates.

Accumulating reports are now available indicating the safe use of mRNA vaccines against Covid-19 in pregnant and lactating women, and a few reports indicate that they are not associated with adverse effects on ovarian stimulation or early pregnancy outcomes following IVF. Evidence about the safety of inactivated Covid-19 vaccines is very limited.

Mutations of AMH and AMHR2 are detectable in an overwhelming majority of PMDS patients but in 10% of cases, both genes are apparently normal, suggesting that other genes may be involved.
