“…As stress/psychological burden is the primary cause of dropout from the IVF program [8,9], this may be another reason to suggest that Endo-Gym® may help women start IVF and/or stay on the IVF program. As couples reported that due to the frustration of their inability to conceive naturally, even deciding on IVF is not easy [4], initial Endo-Gym® exercises may help bridge this difficult time of decision, which may than be further aggravated by later positive effects.…”

“…Notwithstanding all the advances in technology, almost 80% of patients who undergo an IVF cycle will not eventually have a baby, and often cycles have to be repeated multiple times for conception and live birth (2.7 cycles on the average, with about 38% overall success after 3 cycles) [1]. Due to the frustration of being unable to conceive naturally, the very decision of undertaking infertility treatment is already difficult [4], and repeated unsuccessful cycles put the couples through enormous stress and maybe long-term negative effects [5]. Evidence points to that the anxiety and distress experienced may negatively affect the outcome of IVF itself [6,7] and result in the termination of the cycle before conclusion.…”

Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs), especially in vitro fertilization (IVF) have revolutionized human reproduction technology, helping millions of subfertile couples to conceive and deliver a baby. IVF, however, is not an easy procedure, as treatment cycles incur heavy financial, physical and psychological burden, yet they result in live birth less than once in four attempts. Based on our experience with 251 women, many in their 40s, here we suggest that Endo-Gym® method (for endocrine gymnastics), a combination of personalized physical exercises, fertility-optimizing diet and personal coaching, can significantly increase IVF success, probably by both reducing distress caused by repeated cycles and alleviating fertility-affecting problems, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and premature ovarian failure (POF). The program can also relieve other gynecological conditions, such as irregular or painful period, pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and incontinence, and is also often chosen by women as their regular fitness regime for general wellbeing. We provide detailed statistics of success in various conditions and suggest that distinct elements of Endo-Gym® cooperate to exert positive physiological and psychological effects that help re-establish sexual hormone balance and boost reproductive fitness. We anticipate that further, controlled testing will enable to put the benefits of Endo-Gym® on a rational basis and enable to introduce this approach as a beneficial complement of IVF, and maybe also other branches of ART.

“…IVF and PGD have associated emotional and psychological costs (Malina and Pooley, 2017). However, the use of PGD can help carrier parents to avoid the psychological impacts associated with passing on a known genetic disorder to their biological child (Beard et al, 2016;Ormondroyd et al, 2018).…”

This study aimed to investigate the cost-effectiveness of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for the reproductive choices of patients with heritable retinoblastoma. The study modelled the costs of three cycles of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and PGD across all uptake rates of PGD, number of children affected with retinoblastoma at each uptake rate and the estimated qualityadjusted life years (QALYs) gained. Cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted from the Australian public healthcare perspective. The intervention was the use of three cycles (one fresh and two frozen) of IVF and PGD with the aim of live births unaffected by the retinoblastoma phenotype. Compared with the standard care pathway (i.e. natural pregnancy), IVF and PGD resulted in a cost-saving to 18 years of age of AUD$2,747,294 for a base case of 100 couples with an uptake rate of 50%. IVF and PGD resulted in fewer affected (n = 56) and unaffected (n = 78) live births compared with standard care (71 affected and 83 unaffected live births), and an additional 0.03 QALYs per live birth. This modelling suggests that the use of IVF and PGD to achieve an unaffected child for patients with

“…Men and women dealing with infertility issues tend to feel guilty about not fulfilling their and their partners' needs, and can suffer from mood deterioration. Experiencing negative emotions connected with the inability to be a parent is a concern to women, especially to whom motherhood is an important aspect of their social role and their individual identity (Malina & Pooley, 2017).…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of childless women of surrogacy as an assistive reproductive technique. Childless women in marriage experience psychological problems characterised by marital instability, divorce, stigmatisation and abuse. The objectives of the study were to (a) identify childless women, (b) determine their awareness and knowledge of surrogacy, (c) establish their values and beliefs on the issue of surrogacy, and (e) assess whether they would be willing to consider surrogacy as an option to address their infertility. The study was qualitative and a case study design was used. Ten childless women were recruited from a social worker's caseload. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with these women and saturation was reached with the seventh participant. Data were analysed thematically. The findings of the study suggest that childless women knew about surrogacy as an assisted reproductive technique and that they would consider the technique as an option to address their childlessness brought about by infertility.
