To investigate the effects of the frozen embryo transplantation for patients with poor outcome of endometrial growth by using growth hormone intrauterine perfusion combined with replacement cycle in the treatment of non-response thin endometrium. This is a prospective study and study participants were consecutively recruited between Jun 2014 and December 2014. A total of 5 non-response thin end...

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...

INTRODUCTION The aim was to compare the efficacy of long-acting and short-acting gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists by long protocol on embryo quality, endometrial thickness and pregnancy rate in in vitro fertilization. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospective study, long-term pituitary downregulation, achieved with long- and short-acting GnRH agonists (GnRHa), was performed for...

BACKGROUND It was unclear whether chronic endometrial ischemia contributed to the pathogenesis of thin endometrium and was associated with decreased endometrial stem/progenitor cell. Thus, we explored the role of chronic endometrial ischemia in the pathogenesis of thin endometrium and its effect on endometrial stem/progenitor cells apoptosis. MATERIAL/METHODS In vitro, endometrial side popula...

intrauterine insemination (iui) has been widely used for the treatment of infertility. several prognostic factors for iui outcome have been proposed, including the endometrial thickness and follicle numbers, etiology and duration of infertility and morphology, type and motility of sperms. a total of 463 iui cycles in which clomiphene citrate and/or human menopausal gonadotrophin (hmg) were used...

STUDY QUESTION Is endometrial thickness measured prior to embryo transfer associated with placenta praevia? SUMMARY ANSWER Following IVF, the risk of placenta praevia is increased 4-fold in women with an endometrial thickness of >12 mm compared with women with an endometrial thickness of <9 mm. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Placenta praevia is a serious complication of pregnancy with adverse matern...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the relationship between endometrial thickness on day of human chorionic gonadotrophin administration (hCG) and pregnancy outcome in a large number of consecutive in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) cycles. METHODS A retrospective cohort study including all patients who had IVF-ET from January 2003-December 2005 conducted at a tertiary center. RESULTS ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the value of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVU) in evaluating the endometrium in breast cancer patients on tamoxifen, and to investigate the relationship between TVU and histologic endometrial findings in these patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS 107 breast cancer patients taking tamoxifen were included in this study. TVU was performed twice for each patient: prior to startin...
