Utilization of fertility-related services in the United States.

Abstract:

:To describe trends in the types of fertility-related medical services that women and/or their partners have received while trying to become pregnant, the author analyzed data from women aged 20-44 years who participated in the 2002 National Survey of Family Growth. Advice (74%) and infertility testing (59%) were the most common types of fertility-related services received, and of those who received infertility testing, 66% responded that both partners were tested. Nearly half of the study population reported receiving drugs to improve ovulation.

  • Serum bioactive and immunoreactive follicle-stimulating hormone in oligozoospermic and azoospermic men: application of a modified granulosa cell bioassay.

    abstract::Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) usually correlate well with the rate of spermatogenesis. However, in certain cases this correlation does not exist. The purpose of this study was to establish a reliable bioassay of FSH for the andrological clinic. Follicle-stimulating ...
