Our fertility research about infant health made waves at PCRS 2025
The Fertility Center of Las Vegas (FCLV) is always at the forefront of reproductive medicine. Our commitment to pursuing the latest science allows our Las Vegas fertility center to offer leading-edge fertility treatments that make parenthood possible. As part of our goal to be an Oasis of Hope for those facing infertility, our team is always looking for ways to improve fertility care. Performing and presenting fertility research at events such as PCRS 2025 is one way we do this.
What is PCRS 2025?
PCRS stands for the Pacific Coast Reproductive Society. Every year, this organization hosts a meeting for leaders in reproductive medicine. This year’s theme was “Pacific Waves – Exploring Scientific Frontiers in an Evolving Society.”
The goals of PCRS 2025 were to consider the role of fertility treatments such as IVF in our society, and to explore the latest scientific, ethical, cultural and legal developments.
What fertility research did FCLV share at this year’s meeting?
When leading doctors and researchers gathered on March 19-23 for PCRS 2025, Dr. Masumi Padhye, a resident from our Las Vegas fertility center, presented two pieces of research. Both pieces of fertility research focused on infant health.
The first abstract was Endometrial Growth Ratio Predicts Perinatal Outcomes in Singleton Births Following Single Thawed Blastocyst Transfers. This research examined ultrasound measurements of the uterine lining before embryo transfer. The findings showed these measurements are strong predictors of a baby’s birth weight and fetal growth rate, which are key indicators of infant health.
Fertility doctors can use this insight to better understand the causes of low birth weight and related risks. Most importantly, it can help researchers find a way to avoid these issues in future IVF cycles. This research may also have important implications for all pregnancies.
The second abstract was Embryo Morphology, Early Serum Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin Level, and First Trimester Ultrasound Measurements Predict Perinatal Outcomes Following Single Thawed Blastocyst Transfer. With this study, researchers discovered that the size of the pre-transfer embryo predicts the weight and gestational age of the resulting baby.
Both birth weight and gestational age are key indicators of several major risks to infant health in all pregnancies. With these findings, we hope to reduce those risks in future IVF cycles.
