TL;DR: Pregnancy duration and birth weight were inversely related to the initial gestational sac number irrespective of the final birth number and the surviving fetuses weighed less and were born earlier than unreduced pregnancies with the same initial number of fetuses.

TL;DR: Clomiphene citrate-intrauterine insemination should be performed for a minimum of four cycles to compensate for low pregnancy rates due to age, semen quality, or follicle number in patients with ovulation dysfunction.

TL;DR: Withholding hCG or IUI in CC, hMG, and CC+hMG cycles when six or more follicles are > or = 12 mm may reduce triplet and higher-order implantations by 67% without significantly reducing pregnancy rates for patients under 35 years of age.

TL;DR: High-order multiple pregnancy can be predicted by age and number of follicles of diameter > or = 10 mm, age, and treatment cycle and Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation is not necessary to achieve satisfactory overall pregnancy rates if ovulation induction is continued past the third cycle in low responders.

TL;DR: It is found that no single outcome measure of ART is ideal and twin as well as singleton births should be counted as ART successes.
