Our team proudly shared fertility research at ASRM 2025 in San Antonio
Hopeful parents who visit The Fertility Center of Las Vegas (FCLV) always receive the latest, evidence-based care. To make this possible, the doctors at our Las Vegas fertility clinic work hard to advance the field through research. This year, we are proud to announce that some of this fertility research was accepted for presentation at ASRM 2025.
What is ASRM 2025?
This event has earned the title of “the Premier Reproductive Medicine Event of the Year” for a good reason. It’s a gathering of the brightest minds in the field. These world-renowned fertility experts gather every year for this scientific event. Together, they discuss the latest breakthroughs and advances in reproductive medicine.
ASRM 2025 took place in San Antonio between October 25 and 29. Dr. Carrie Bedient and Dr. Bruce Shapiro attended on behalf of our Las Vegas fertility clinic. In addition to enjoying specialized learning and networking opportunities, our team also shared knowledge with the other attendees.
What did the FCLV fertility research presentation discuss?
The fertility research Dr. Bedient presented at ASRM 2025 continues our tradition of improving success rates and patient safety. It follows our efforts to eliminate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and improve embryo transfer success rates.
The research we shared at the conference focused on reducing the risk of preeclampsia (high blood pressure) during an IVF pregnancy. Here is an overview of this research:
Title: Nomograms for first-trimester serum levels of PIGF and sFlt-1 in ongoing singleton pregnancies following transfer of single thawed blastocysts
Authors: Carrie Bedient, Leah Kaye, Forest Garner, Martha Aguirre, Bruce Shapiro
Background: Levels of certain hormones (PIGF and sFlt-1) have been linked to preeclampsia risk in natural pregnancies. However, research has only looked at these levels during the second and third trimesters in the past.
Research: With our new research, we measured these hormone levels at the very start of IVF pregnancies. This tells us, for the first time, what hormone levels are normal during the first trimester. The hope is that we can learn more about the risk factors for preeclampsia and ultimately prevent it in both natural and IVF pregnancies.
With this fertility research presentation, we share our insights with other experts in reproductive medicine. We hope that what we’ve learned (and continue to learn) will help even more patients have safe and successful pregnancies.
