  • Patent number: 10884003
    Abstract: Method of diagnosis of IVF viability. The method includes ascertaining a subject's AMH level from testing and then selecting one pregnancy or live birth prognosis category that applies to the ascertained AMH level by matching the ascertained AMH level with an applicable one of a plurality of ranges of AMH levels pertaining to an age of the subject. The matching indicates the prognosis category that applies, i.e., (that is, good, intermediate or poor. In view of the diagnosis, a method of administration of AMH may be pursued to increase probability of pregnancy or live birth chances. Alternatively, the administration of AMH may be at AMH levels that will terminate pregnancy or increase the chance of miscarriage.

  • Publication number: 20200030342
    Abstract: A method of improving sexual function in premenopausal women, who have low Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) baseline of less than or equal to 25.7. The method includes providing information to premenopausal women to provide input for calculating the FSFI score and, if the score is low, providing dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) supplementation to be taken in 25 mg dosages daily once, twice, thrice or four times over a period of time of four to six weeks. By the end of the period of time, the FSFI baselines of the premenopausal women improves by at least seven percent, serum androgen levels of the premenopausal women increase and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels of the premenopausal women decrease.

  • Patent number: 9974834
    Abstract: A method of diagnosing a subject's percentage of probability of retrieval of oocytes based on an age of the subject by selecting the percentage that matches the subject's AMR level in accord with plotted curves for retrieval of ?1, ?2, ?3, ?4 and ?5 oocytes and administering AMR to the subject, as warranted, to increase the AMR level to attain a desired percentage of probability of retrieval of oocytes based upon the age of the subject and in accord with a matching percentage for the increased AMR level from plotted curves for retrieval of ?1, ?2, ?3, ?4 and ?5 oocytes.

  • Patent number: 9375436
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of using dehydroepiandrosterone to treat a human female with diminished ovarian reserve. The method includes administering about 25 milligrams three times a day of dehydroepiandrosterone per day to the female for at least four weeks to reduce human embryo aneuploidy. The present invention further is directed to a method of treating a human female with diminished ovarian reserve to improve the female's diminished ovarian reserve.

  • Patent number: 9205092
    Abstract: Method of improving ovarian reserve in a human female with diminished ovarian reserve as measured by the female's anti-Müllerian hormone level. The method may include evaluating a first anti-Müllerian hormone level of the female, administering an androgen, such as dehydroepiandrosterone or testosterone, to the female for at least about one month, and then evaluating a second anti-Müllerian hormone level of the female. Change in the anti-Müllerian hormone level is indicative of change in the ovarian reserve, e.g., when the second anti-Müllerian hormone level is greater than the first anti-Müllerian hormone level, the ovarian reserve has improved. The androgen administration may continue until the second anti-Müllerian hormone level is greater than the first anti-Müllerian hormone level by a desired percentage or amount.

  • Patent number: 9056115
    Abstract: Method of using an androgen, such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or testosterone, to improve human folliculogenesis. The method includes measuring a baseline follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level of the human female, and when the baseline FSH level is below about 40.0 mIU/ml, administering about 75 milligrams of the androgen per day to the female for at least four months to treat ovarian follicles in at least one ovary of the female to improve human folliculogenesis during the at least four months. The present invention further is directed to a method of restoring the ovarian environment of an older human female to that of a younger human female. The method includes administering about 75 milligrams of an androgen per day to the female for at least four months.

  • Patent number: 8951724
    Abstract: Method of early detection of risk of infertility and ovarian aging in and treatment of a human female who has not experienced infertility and is not otherwise indicated to have premature ovarian aging. A number of CGG repeats on each allele of the isolated FMR1 gene is measured by using an assay, and a testing regimen is performed only when the determined number of CGG repeats on one of the FMR1 gene alleles is less than 26. The testing regimen includes periodically measuring serum level of a hormone related to fertility, such as Anti-Müllerian Hormone, Follicle Stimulating Hormone and/or estradiol over a period of about three to eight years and, after each measurement, determining if the measured serum level is less than a set confidence interval for a human female of the same age of the female. If so, the human female is treated for premature ovarian aging.

  • Publication number: 20140235540
    Abstract: A method of treating a human female with an androgen and a gonadotropin to improve at least one of the human female's infertility, reproductive outcomes and oocyte yield is disclosed. The method may include treating the female with an androgen and a gonadotropin in combination. The androgen may be administered for more than six weeks and the gonadotropin may be administered in a regular low dosage over a period of time longer than two weeks. The method may include inducing ovulation in the female by administering gonadotropins to stimulate ovulation and/or induce ovulation. The method may include multiple additional inductions of ovulation, each within 120 days of the previous induction of ovulation.
