- Abstract:
- Aim: This prospective study was performed to evaluate the predictive value of endometrium thickness in patients undergoing IVF-ET. Method: Measurements of endometrium thickness as well as pattern assessments were performed in 936 cycles (722 patients) on the day of administering human chronic gonadotropin (HCG). Results: The overall pregnancy rate was 31.1% (2911936 The age of non pregnant patient was significantly higher (p < 0.029). There was a significant influence of oestradiol (p < 0.029), number of transferred embryos (p < 0.004), and embryo quality (p<0.002) on the pregnancy rate. Overall, the mean (+/-SD) endometrium thickness was 11.16 mm (+/- 2.13). The mean (+/-SD) endometrium thickness of pregnant patients was 11.25 mm (+/-2.19). The mean (+/-SD) endometrium thickness of non-pregnant patients was 11.12 mm (+/-2.10). A stepwise logistic regression analysis showed no statistically significant correlation between endometrium thickness and pregnancy rate (p < 0.23). Conclusion: Sonographic measurement of endometrium thickness on the day of human chorionic treatment with gonadotropin is not useful in predicting IVF outcome.
