Use of uterine artery Doppler velocimetry values to predict pregnancy in clomiphene citrate-induced intrauterine insemination cycles in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness uterine artery Doppler velocimetry values predict pregnancy in clomiphene citrate-induced intrauterine insemination cycles (IUI) patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Materials and methods: Patients PCOS who applied infertility outpatient clinic between 01/06/2020 31/11/2021 were included prospective interventional study. For ovulation induction, used citrate (CC) 50-150 mg daily days 5 9 cycle. When at least one dominant follicle 17 mm or larger was detected serial transvaginal ultrasound controls, triggered IUI performed 36 hours later. Uterine flow Resistance Index (RI), Pulsatility (PI) systolic-diastolic ratio (S/D) evaluated all on 3rd day cycle trigger day. group that achieved those could not conceive compared as main outcome Results: designed 56 which can be after induction. In these cycles, 10 obtained clinical rate 17.9%. pregnant non-pregnant groups similar terms demographic characteristics, basal hormone levels, period endometrial thickness, number mean diameter (p>0.005). There no significant difference (PI, RI S/D) measured Conclusion: Considering hormonal changes stimulated effect CC itself receptivity, we think only are effective predicting success CC-induced PCOS.
