P-038. Does endometrial thickness at the time of embryo transfer in an IVF cycle relate to pregnancy rates?

P-183: Evaluation of Endometrial Thickness on The Day of HCG Administration on IVF Outcome

Background: Despite recent technical improvement in assisted reproductive techniques (ART), the implantation rate per embryo still remains low (15%). The aim of the study is to determine whether the failure of IVF cycle is associated with endometrial thickness on the day of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) administration. Materials and Methods: Endometrial thickness of two hundred and seven p...

Uterine contractions at the time of embryo transfer alter pregnancy rates after in-vitro fertilization.

To investigate the possible consequences of uterine contractions (UC) as visualized by ultrasound (US) on in-vitro fertilization (IVF)-embryo transfer outcome, we studied prospectively 209 infertile women undergoing 220 cycles of controlled ovarian stimulation. Inclusion criteria were age < or = 38 years, a morphologically normal uterus, and at least three good quality embryos transferred. Just...

Endometrial thickness and pregnancy rates after IVF: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND Thin endometrium on ultrasound in the course of ovarian hyperstimulation has been thought to be associated with poor success rates after IVF, even in the absence of prior intrauterine surgery or infection. To assess the clinical significance of endometrial thickness (EMT) for IVF outcome, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis. METHODS The electronic databases Pubmed, C...

does transabdominal ultrasound-guided embryo transfer improve pregnancy rates in art cycles?

background: recent reports have suggested that ultrasound-guided embryo transfer (ug-et) might improve pregnancy rates. objective: to determine whether transabdominal ug-et is a useful tool for increasing pregnancy and implantation rates in patients undergoing ivf or icsi. materials and methods: a prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted in 180 patients in order to compare embryo tra...
