Outcome comparison of in vitro fertilization treatment with highly purified subcutaneous follicle-stimulating hormone (Fertinex, a urofollitropin) versus intramuscular menotropins
Article Abstract:
Subcutaneous injections of Fertinex appear to be effective in inducing ovulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilization. Fertinex is a highly purified form of follicle-stimulating hormone, which is one of the hormones involved in ovulation. Researchers analyzed the records of 279 women who had in vitro fertilization, 64 of whom used Fertinex. Pregnancy rates in the women who used Fertinex were similar to the rates in women who used older hormone preparations such as Pergonal and Metrodin.

Are in vitro fertilization pregnancies with early spontaneous reduction high risk?
Article Abstract:
Women with in vitro fertilization pregnancies are studied to determine whether spontaneous reduction in in vitro fertilization pregnancies results in outcomes comparable with in vitro fertilization singleton pregnancies or ongoing twin pregnancies. The results have shown that spontaneous reduction of a twin to a singleton pregnancy is associated with prolonged gestation and higher birth weight for the remaining fetus.
