“…[7][8][9]20 In contrast to earlier reports relating elevated endometrial thickness with negative IVF outcome, in our study, the pregnancy rate in patient whose endometrium thicker than 14 mm was 39.6% which was consistent with recent studies. 21,22 In accordance with our results, Rinaldi et al found that, unlike IVF cycles, endometrial thickness could not predict ICSI success as a result of higher fetilization ratio. 23 Our study showed that, at the other end of the spectrum, patients whose endometrium thinner than 6 mm achieved 36.4% CPR.…”

M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : The data of patients underwent controlled ovarian stimulation for ICSI cycles with standart stimulation protocols in Erciyes University Center of Assisted Reproductive Technology and Infertility were retrospectively analysed. On the day of human chorionic gonadotropin administration, endometrial thicknesses were measured by transvaginal ultrasonography and recorded. Endometrial thickness were grouped as the following; Group 1: ≤5,9 mm (n: 22

“…The echogenic pattern of the endometrium has also been suggested to be a predictor of pregnancy outcome [8,25]. Conversely, other studies have shown sonographic assessment of the endometrium to be of no benefit in the characterization of uterine receptivity in IVF patients [12][13][14][15]26]. Nonetheless, despite many reports, it is still undetermined whether endometrial thickness and pattern are prognostic factors of implantation.…”

Purpose To study the effect of endometrial thickness (ET) and echogenic pattern (EP) in oocyte donation cycles upon pregnancy outcomes. Methods Seventy-nine cycles resulting in blastocyst embryo transfer were evaluated. Donors underwent ovarian hyperstimulation using rFSH and GnRH-antagonist. Recipients were synchronized to donors using GnRH-agonist downregulation followed by fixed dose of estrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) following hCG. Transvaginal ultrasound (US) obtained ET and EP 10-11 days after initiation of E2 and on day of embryo transfer. Primary outcome was ET and EP in pregnant and non-pregnant cycles. Stimulation and embryology data was analyzed in donors to assess differences prior to transfer.Results Fifty-nine cycles resulted in clinical pregnancy. No differences were observed in pregnant vs. non-pregnant cycles in proliferative or secretory ET and EP. Similar baseline and stimulation characteristics were found in pregnant and non-pregnant cycles. Regression analysis showed end thickness were not predictive of pregnancy outcomes. Conclusions Endometrial characteristics in recipients prior to and following progesterone were not predictive of pregnancy outcomes.

“…The assessment of endometrial echogenicity performed at the end of the late follicular phase in IVF cycles was tested in search of a prognostic factor for embryo implantation (Giannaris et al,2008;Richter et al,2007;Schild et al,2001). Some studies presented the hypothesis that endometrial features in the late follicular phase can predict the IVF outcomes, especially assessment of endometrial pattern and thickness (Scioscia et al,2009;Giannaris et al,2008;Richter et al,2007;Zhang et al,2005;Kovacs et al,2003;Dietterich et al,2002). Some studies showed that the endometrial echogenicity (Figure 10) on the day of hCG administration or embryo transfer can be a predictive marker of IVF outcomes (Basir et al,2002;Fanchin et al,2000).…”
