BACKGROUND This study was aimed to assess the effect of endometrial movements on pregnancy achievement in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS The population of this observational study was composed of unexplained infertility couples undergoing first-time IUI with clomiphene citrate between September 2010 and October 2011. Not only endometrial movements, but also thic...

Three-dimensional ultrasound (3D US) is a new imaging modality, which is being introduced into clinical practice. Although this technique will not probably replace two-dimensional ultrasound, it is being increasingly used. It has been reported that 3D US is a very high reproducible technique. The endometrium has been paid special attention when using this technique. The aim of this paper is to ...

This study was designed to investigate the role of three-dimensional (3D) endometrial ultrasound in predicting the outcome of an in-vitro fertilization (IVF) programme. In 47 IVF cycles measurements of endometrial thickness and volume, as assessed by 3D transvaginal ultrasound on the day of oocyte retrieval, and concentrations of oestradiol and progesterone in the same patient sampled on the da...

Abstract Background Diagnosis of endometrial receptivity is still unclear and conflicting. Despite advances in embryo development during assisted reproductive technologies (ART) cycles, the intricate process implantation matter for debate research. Materials methods Prospective case control 169 subjects ovarian controlled stimulation ART. Endometrial assessment to predict clinical pregnancy wit...

BACKGROUND A good blood supply to the endometrium is usually considered as an essential requirement for implantation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of endometrial and subendometrial vascularity in the prediction of pregnancy during frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles. METHODS Women undergoing FET in natural or clomiphene-induced cycles after the first stimu...

Objective To compare the diagnostic suitability of endometrial tissues obtained from postmenopausal women using the MyoSure Lite tissue removal system versus conventional curettage. Materials and methods Endometrial tissue was sampled in hysteroscopically normal extirpated uteri from seven postmenopausal women (65.9±6.6 years old) using both hysteroscopicguided morcellation and curettage (two...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of low-dose tibolone therapy on ovarian area, uterine volume and endometrial thickness, and define the cut-off value of endometrial thickness for curettage during uterine bleeding. We followed 619 postmenopausal women, aged 40-60 years, for two years. There were 301 subjects in the low-dose tibolone treatment group and 318 subjects in the contro...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) transvaginal ultrasonography, power Doppler angiography (PDA) and gel infusion sonography (GIS) at offline analysis for recognition of malignant endometrium compared with real-time evaluation during scanning, and to determine optimal image parameters at 3D analysis. METHODS One hundred and sixt...

BACKGROUND The impact of intramural fibroids on the success of IVF treatment is controversial and the mechanisms leading to poor treatment outcomes remain unknown. We compared endometrial and subendometrial blood flow between women with and without intramural fibroids during IVF treatment. METHODS Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound examination with power Doppler was performed on the day of ooc...
