Effects of Steroid Hormone Levels on the Ultrasound Appearance of the Preovulatory Endometrium in Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation Cycles
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND This study investigated the effects of serum estradiol (E2) and progesterone levels on preovulatory endometrial thickness and echogenicity in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycles for in vitro fertilization (IVF). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, we evaluated the data of 241 in vitro fertilization- embryo transfer cycles. Cycles were classified into three groups according to endometrial thickness measured on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) administration as: i. ≤8 mm, ii. 8-14 mm, and iii. ≥14 mm. Echogenic patterns were described as trilaminar, isoechogenic, and hyperechogenic. Serum E2 and progesterone levels were evaluated on the day of hCG administration. Data were analyzed using X2test, Student's t test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). RESULTS Serum E2 levels increased in parallel with endometrial thickness, although differences among the three groups were insignificant. There was no correlation between serum progesterone levels and endometrial thickness. There was no significant difference in the steroid hormone concentrations between the echogenic patterns. CONCLUSION Serum steroid hormone levels on the day of hCG administration do not affect the ultrasound appearance of the endometrium in COH cycles.

THE EFFECT OF ENDOMETRIAL PATTERN AND THICKNESS ON PREGNANCY RATE IN CONTROLLED OVARIAN HYPERSTIMULATION-INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION
Objective: In order to evaluate the endometrium by ultrasound in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) with clomiphene citrate (CC) and human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) with intrauterine insemination (IUI) to determine the relationship between endometrial pattern and thickness on pregnancy rate (PR). Methods: In this prospective study, 108 infertile couples under...

Objective Coasting can reduce the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) risk in ovulation induction cycles before intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). This study aimed to investigate the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist and GnRH antagonist protocols to controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycles with coasting on the parameters of ICSI cycles and the outcome.
