Study Method: Total of 50 patients in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection(IVF/ICSI) cycles participated in this prospective study. The endometrial thickness, endometrial morphology and the level of serum progesterone were determined on the day hCG was given. Serum beta hCG was measured 14 days after embryos transfer. The association between endometrial thickness, endometrial morphology and level of serum progesterone with pregnancy was analyzed. Result: Pregnancy was achieved in 10 out of 50 patients (20.0%). The mean endometrial thickness for the pregnant group was 9.86 ±1.68 mm, 7 out of 10 pregnant patients had trilaminar endometrium. The mean progesterone level was 3.717 ± 1.071nmol/L for the pregnant group and 1.408 ± 4.691nmol/L for the nonpregnant group. All differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: Endometrial thickness, endometrial morphology and the level of serum progesterone on the hCG day was not significantly associated with the outcome of IVF/ ICSI cycles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
