The correlation of factors affecting the endometrial thickness with pregnancy outcome in the IUI cycles

چکیده
BACKGROUND Many studies have been carried out to understand the effect of endometrial thickness on the reproductive outcome while the factors affecting the pattern itself are still unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the factors such as age and the number of follicles that could affect the endometrial thickness Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a retrospective study on 680 infertile women considered for intrauterine insemination (IUI). IUI protocol was sequential regimen of clomid and gonadotropin. Endometrial thickness measurement was done on the day of HCG administration. Correlation between endometrial thickness and factors such as age, total follicle numbers, dominant follicle numbers, gonadotropine ampule numbers and pregnancy rate were assessed. RESULTS The mean endometrial thickness was 7.2±1.8 mm. The endometrium was thinner in older patients compared with younger ones. But in all age ranges pregnancy rate was higher in endometrial thickness 6< ET≤10 mm (p<0.05). CONCLUSION We did not find any correlation between age, number of follicles and gonadotropine ampoules with endometrial thickness but in all age ranges, there is a possibility of higher chance of pregnancy in endometrial thickness 6 < ET≤10 mm.

Background: Different protocols are used for controlled ovarian hyper stimulation (COH), but the optimal method has not yet been determined. So we decided to compare the outcome of controlled ovarian stimulation using clomiphen citrate +HMG versus clomiphen citrate +rFSH in IUI cycles.

Background: Progesterone (P) that is produced by the corpus luteum in response to stimulation by luteinizing hormone (LH) and human Chrionic Gondotropin (hCG) in luteal phase is essential for secretory transformation of endometrium that permits implantation .P not only supports endometrial development but also potentially sustains the survival of the embryo . Luteal phase dysfunction (LPD) is a...
