Background: Endometriosis is a serious yet understudied medical condition impacting millions of women worldwide.
Methods: This mixed methods study aimed to understand health care provider perceptions and patient experiences with endometriosis in the United States.

Currently, clinical opinion is divided about whether GnRH agonist therapy improves pregnancy rates when used for luteal down-regulation in a frozen euploid embryo transfer (FET). This study evaluated the clinical utility of GnRH agonist down-regulation in single, euploid FET cycles.
Methods : A retrospective analysis was performed, using data from patients who underwent a single, euploid FET cycle from 2012 to 2019. Patients were segregated into two cohorts: Group A: single, euploid FET with down-regulation using GnRH agonist; Group B: …
