This study tested gels recently introduced as 'sperm friendly' (FertilSafe Plus, Fertile Check) alongside established lubricants intended for pleasure only using a recently published toxicity testing regime. Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) was performed at 1 and 2 h on donor sperm (n = 12) pre-incubated with each gel (10% v/v) and controls. All gels led to a significant loss of motility/velocity at 1 and 2 h (p < 0.01), with the most significant loss from the 2 Durex pleasure products (11% and 15%, vs 47% progression) at 60 min, although these performed better than saliva (used as negative control). Incubation with FertilSafePlus led to the smallest loss of motility (24% vs 47%) at 1 h. Saliva and products designed for lubrication only exhibited the most negative effect on motility and those marketed as 'sperm safe' could be considered the best performers. Whether these affects are due to direct toxicity or are indirect due to other factors such as viscosity, pH or osmolality remains uncertain.","PeriodicalId":13006,"journal":{"name":"Human Fertility","volume":"1 1","pages":"1028-1031"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45099390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our previous paper we explored the motivations of 21 egg donors in this context and reported that they are motivated to donate as an act of personal gift-giving to recipients who may become known to them through donation, and that they do not want to be compensated for this financially. In this paper, drawing on in-depth interviews, we report on donors' experiences of the donation process and subsequent to donation. Donors understood their donations to be a significant act, both for the recipients and their families, but also for themselves, particularly given the multiple sacrifices which they willingly made. Donors wished for their gift and their role to be valued and acknowledged through being appreciated, informed, involved and supported by recipients and clinics before, during and after their donations.

The study was conducted in southern Sweden with 26 focus-group discussions that included a total of 110 participants aged 17-90 years. The material was analysed thematically. Our results show that fertility knowledge and openness to talking about fertility problems have increased over generations. Participants who were assigned female at birth were more often concerned about their fertility than those who were not, and fertility concerns were transferred from mothers to daughters. While age-related fertility concerns had been uncommon in older generations, participants aged 25-40 often expressed these concerns. Young adults appreciated being knowledgeable about fertility but simultaneously expressed how fertility information could lead to distress. Our conclusion is that fertility information was best received by high-school students, and efforts to improve fertility education in schools are therefore recommended.","PeriodicalId":13006,"journal":{"name":"Human Fertility","volume":"26 2","pages":"216-225"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9786095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four major databases (PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Wiley Online Library) were searched with appropriate keywords. A total of 4101 articles were retrieved from the databases and after following various levels of screening 18 articles were finalized. These articles explored resilience and other psychosocial factors in couples/individuals seeking infertility treatment. The protective factors associated with resilience were quality of life, coping, social support, and posttraumatic growth. The risk factors associated with resilience were infertility-related stress, anxiety and depression. The unexpected diagnosis of infertility might be disturbing for many, still, it may not be extremely agonizing for some. Individuals who are encouraged to utilize their own resources and seek support are able to deal with stressors associated with infertility.","PeriodicalId":13006,"journal":{"name":"Human Fertility","volume":" ","pages":"1562-1583"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9829623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant and essential component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. It is reported that de novo CoQ10 production declines with ageing and coincides with age-related decline in fertility, leading to CoQ10 supplementation being advocated to enhance response to ovarian stimulation and improve oocyte quality. CoQ10 supplementation was found to improve fertilization rates, embryo maturation rates and embryo quality when used before and during in vitro fertilization (IVF) and in vitro maturation (IVM) treatment in women aged 31 and over. Regarding oocyte quality, CoQ10 was able to reduce high rates of chromosomal abnormalities and oocyte fragmentation, as well as improve mitochondrial function. Proposed mechanisms of CoQ10 function include restoration of reactive oxygen species imbalance, preventing DNA damage and oocyte apoptosis, as well as restoration of Krebs cycle downregulation from ageing. In this literature review, we provide an overview of the use of CoQ10 in improving the success of IVF and IVM in older women, and additionally assess the impact of CoQ10 on oocyte quality and discuss potential mechanisms of action by CoQ10 on the oocyte.","PeriodicalId":13006,"journal":{"name":"Human Fertility","volume":" ","pages":"1544-1552"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9707399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was a longitudinal cohort survey study, of all participants in an embryo donation programme in a single university affiliated clinic between 2016 and 2020. Clinical data were extracted from counselling reports. Based on these data, non-identified online questionnaires were constructed and refined via Delphi procedure for face and content validity. Sixty-five online questionnaires were emailed between March-April 2021. Descriptive statistics, cross-tabulation, Fisher's exact test and t-test were used for analyses. Source of patient awareness, factors influencing the decision-making process, patient perspective and satisfaction were explored. The response rate was 67.2%. Most participants in the non-identified programme learned of it through their treating physicians, whereas most participants in the directed programme learned of it online. The main driver to donate across both cohorts was wanting to give others the opportunity to experience the joy of parenthood. Overall, 45% described moderate to marked difficulty in decision making related to donating their embryos, and this did not differ between cohorts. Non-identified donors reported feeling highly attached to the donated embryos more often than directed donors. Level of satisfaction was higher in the directed donation programme. Participants were more satisfied following directed than non-identified donation, and some even consider their counterparts as extended family.
