The present invention relates to the use of an oxytocin receptor antagonist in females undergoing embryo transfer as part of an assisted reproductive technology. In particular, methods are provided for increasing ongoing implantation rate, increasing ongoing pregnancy rate, increasing clinical pregnancy rate, and / or increasing live birth rate in a female subject undergoing embryo transfer. Specifically, the antagonists are released in the luteal phase when the endometrium is receptive for embryo implantation and / or when the embryo has reached the blastocyst-stage.

One aspect of the present invention relates to heterocyclic compounds that are ligands for nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. A second aspect of the invention relates to the use of a compound of the invention for modulation of a mammalian nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. The present invention also relates to the use of a compound of the invention for treating a mammal suffering from Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, dyskinesias, Tourette's syndrome, schizophrenia, attention deficit disorder, anxiety, pain, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, chemical substance abuse, alcoholism, memory deficit, pseudodementia, Ganser's syndrome, migraine pain, bulimia, obesity, premenstrual syndrome or late luteal phase syndrome, tobacco abuse, post-traumatic syndrome, social phobia, chronic fatigue syndrome, premature ejaculation, erectile difficulty, anorexia nervosa, disorders of sleep, autism, mutism or trichtillomania.

A method of treating infertility disorders by 1) administering an LH-RH antagonist, preferably Cetrorelix, in amounts to selectively suppress endogenous LH but not FSH secretion and 2) inducing follicle growth by administration of exogenous gonadotropin. The selective suppression OF LH allows FSH secretion to be at natural levelS thereby not affecting individual estrogen development. The LH-RH antagonist can be given as a single or dual subcutaneous dose in the range of 1 mg to 10 mg, preferably 2 mg-6 mg. In multiple dosing-posology, LH-RH antagonist can be administered subcutaneously in an amount in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mg of LH-RH antagonist / day. LH-RH antagonist is applied starting cycle day 1 to 10, preferably on day 4 to 8, and ovulation can be induced between day 9 and 20 of the menstruation cycle by administering rec. LH, native LH-RH, LH-RH agonist or by HCG. In addition rec. LH, native LH-RH or LH-RH agonist can be given to avoid hyperstimulation syndrome and native LH-RH or a LH-RH agonist can be administered to avoid luteal phase stimulation by neutralizing the negative effects of HCG.

The invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition capable of treating menstrual flow and infertility caused by thin endometrium and a preparation method thereof. 1~6 parts, 1~9 parts of cornus, 1~6 parts of fried white peony, 0.5~3 parts of fried angelica, 1~9 parts of Chuanxiong, 1.5~9 parts of Suanzaoren, 1~9 parts of Anemarrhena, cloud Made from 1-6 parts of Poria cocos, 1-6 parts of fried Codonopsis pilosula, and 1-12 parts of fried Atractylodes macrocephala. The present invention screens and obtains the prescription through a large number of clinical studies, and the research results show that the Chinese medicine compound can effectively improve the symptoms of less menstrual flow and infertility of the kidney yin deficiency type, increase menstrual flow, and promote endometrial hyperplasia and follicular growth in the late menstrual period. Develop and improve serum E2 and LH levels during ovulation, improve E2 and P levels in the mid-luteal phase, increase the thickness of the endometrium in the mid-luteal phase, increase the volume of the endometrium, and enrich the subendometrial blood perfusion in the mid-luteal phase, thereby increasing the endometrial volume Receptivity, promote embryo implantation, and no toxic side effects, safe and reliable medication.

The present invention relates to methods of inducing ovulation in a female host comprising the administration of a non-polypeptide cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) level modulator to the female host. In another aspect, the invention provides for specific administration of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor prior to the luteal phase of the host's ovulatory cycle. Preferred non-polypeptide cAMP level modulators include phosphodiesterase inhibitors, particularly inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 4 isoforms.

The invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating luteal phase defect type infertility and menstrual disorder. The traditional Chinese medicine composition disclosed by the invention is prepared from the following components in parts by weight: 1-6 parts of fried radix paeoniae alba, 1-9 parts of common yam rhizome, 1-6 parts of dogwood, 0.5-3 parts of vinegar baked bupleurum root, 1-9 parts of the seed of Chinese dodder, 1.5-9 parts of sliced cornu cervi, 1.5-9 parts of amethyst and 1-6 parts of radix salviae miltiorrhizae. According to the compound composition provided by the invention, by means of syndrome differentiation and treatment, the formula is obtained through a lot of experimental screening under the guidance of theories of traditional Chinese medicines; experimental results show that the traditional Chinese medicine composition is capable of improving the structure and form of ovary mitochondria endoplasmic reticulum, improving structures of endometrial glands and mesenchyme, adjusting ovary secreted active substances E2 and P, reducing endometrium estrogen receptors and progestrone receptors and increasing expression of integrins alpha v and beta 3; therefore, the endometrium receptivity can be increased; the embryo implantation action is promoted; the traditional Chinese medicine composition has the good effect for treating infertility; and furthermore, the traditional Chinese medicine composition is free from toxic and side effect, and safe and reliable to use.
