“…Nevertheless, our results are consistent with more recent literature which showed that no lineer relationship between endometrial thickness and CPR. [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.…”

A AB BS S T TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between blood contamination of embryo transfer catheter (ETC) and its effect on clinical pregnancy rate in intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. 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

“…Despite the existence of quite a few published studies, the prognostic value of ultrasonographic endometrial thickness measurements (and other parameters) in predicting implantation and pregnancy rates remains controversial. Some investigators have demonstrated a positive correlation between endometrial thickness and pregnancy rates [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]11] while others have not found such an association [9,10,[12][13][14], or only in association with other parameters [15,16]. However, these differences may be in part attributed to different patient populations, stimulation protocols used or measurement timing.…”

“…While some studies have shown that this parameter is important for predicting the outcome of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycles [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], other studies have failed to show such a positive relationship [9][10][11][12][13][14]. In a third category of studies the endometrial thickness was related to the IVF outcome, but only in correlation with other parameters [15,16].…”

Purpose Endometrial thickness is important for implantation. Little data addresses the etiology of persistently thin endometrium. We present a patient cohort in order to define common features and draw conclusions. Methods Thirteen out of 1,405 IVF patients repeatedly had thin unresponsive endometrium (<7 mm). Age, history, uterine cavity status, treatment type and outcome were examined. Results Patient age was 35.9±5.7 years. Ten patients had a curettage performed previously. Nine patients had normal cavity and endometrium, and in four adhesions were diagnosed and removed. Out of 99 cycles performed afterwards, endometrial thickness increased in 22. ETs were performed in 49 cycles resulting in 11 pregnancies. Their outcome was eight miscarriages, two terminations due to malformations, and one live birth. Conclusions Thin unresponsive endometrium was associated with curettage, not necessarily with intrauterine adhesions. Even if adequate thickening eventually occurred, the reproductive outcome was still very poor. Therefore other alternatives should be sought for these patients.
