Background: This prospective study aims to identify the effect of the dienogest 2 mg/day and aspirin 150 mg/day combined treatment for two months before frozen ET on the assisted reproduction outcome in women with adenomyosis and recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Methods: Patients were selected based on specific criteria and divided into two groups (with and without treatment). Preimplantation biochemical parameters and ultrasonographic features (endometrial thickness, uterine peristalsis, and junctional zone thickness) were compared with pregnancy rate in a non-natural cycle frozen embryo transfer technique. A comparison between the two study groups indicated an increased successful implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate (25% vs. 7.4%). Results: These results were attributed to the reduced uterine peristalsis and the reduction in thickness of the junctional zone following treatment. Available data were limited due to the nature of the study though maximal effort was exerted for the selected patients between groups to be as demographically similar and free from other potential pathology that may affect the results. Conclusions: In conclusion, it appears that the above stated treatment improves outcomes in women with adenomyosis and RIF; the parameters used may provide an insight as to the reasons why this occurs, though an explanation of the molecular mechanisms is still elusive.

Background and Objectives: The aim was to evaluate the severity of obstetrical bleeding in the third trimester associated with COVID infection in placenta previa and accreta. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to compare the risk of obstetrical bleeding in the case of placenta previa with or without associated SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients presenting with placenta previa before labor were classified into three groups: group A (control) as no infection throughout their pregnancy, group B as confirmed infection during the 1st trimester, and group C as confirmed infection at the time of delivery. Infected patients were stratified according to the severity of signs and symptoms. The severity of obstetrical hemorrhage at birth was assessed quantitatively and qualitatively. All placentas were analyzed histologically to identify similarities. Results: Prematurity and pregnancy-induced hypertension appear significantly related to SARS-CoV-2 infection during the 3rd trimester. Placenta accreta risk increases significantly with infection during the 1st trimester. No statistically significant differences in the severity of hemorrhage associated with childbirth in cases with placenta previa between groups A and C but increased obstetrical bleeding mainly due to emergency hemostatic hysterectomy in group B driven by placenta accrete were detected. Obstetrical hemorrhage at birth in the case of coexistence of the infection was found not to correlate with the severity of the viral disease. Meanwhile, the number of days of hospitalization after birth is related to the specific treatment of COVID infection and not related to complications related to birth. Conclusions: The study finds an increased incidence of placenta accreta associated with placenta previa in cases where the viral infection occurred in the first trimester of pregnancy, associated with an increased incidence of hemostasis hysterectomies in these patients. Placental histological changes related to viral infection are multiple and more important in patients who had COVID infection in the first trimester.
