چکیده

BACKGROUND We conducted this prospective study to evaluate the prognostic significance of uterine and ovarian artery Doppler velocimetry in clomiphene citrate (CC) cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 80 patients with unexplained infertility were given 100 mg/day of CC from day 3 to day 7 of their cycles in this current prospective study. On cycle day 3, before administration of CC, each patient underwent Doppler transvaginal ultrasonography. The Doppler velocimetries of the right and left uterine and ovarian arteries were recorded and analyzed in association with demographic and clinical parameters. RESULTS TheThere were 6 out of 80 patients who became pregnant, the overall pregnancy rate in this population was 7.5% for the current study. The cases were divided into two groups according to whether they became pregnant or not. Demographic characteristics showed no statistically significant differences between these groups (p>0.05). However, the duration of infertility did show statistically significant differences between the groups. Doppler velocimetry was not statistically significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION Doppler velocimetry of the uterine and ovarian arteries is not a factor in the prognosis for pregnancy in CC cycles.

Assessment of endometrial perfusion with Doppler ultrasound in spontaneous and stimulated menstrual cycles.

OBJECTIVE Endometrial perfusions were measured by Doppler ultrasound to evaluate the influence of spontaneous menstrual cycles and to study the effect of clomiphene citrate. METHODS Flow waveforms in right and left uterine arteries were obtained by using transvaginal color Doppler ultrasonography in infertile women with 60 spontaneous menstrual cycles and 37 clomiphene citrate stimulated cycl...

Adding sildenafil vaginal gel to clomiphene citrate in infertile women with prior clomiphene citrate failure due to thin endometrium: a prospective self-controlled clinical trial

We aimed to investigate the effect of adding sildenafil vaginal gel to clomiphene citrate (CC) in infertile women with prior CC failure. METHODS This is a self- controlled clinical trial. Women with CC failure (in prior 5 cycles) and thin endometrium were recruited (N = 42). In their 6th (CC only) cycle, women continued on CC 100 mg/ day for 5 days, and had measurement of endometrial thicknes...
