About the Author AbstractPurpose of the Study To study the role of endometrial and subendometrial blood flow measured by 3D power Doppler as predictors of pregnancy in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Methods A hospital-based prospective study of two hundred and twenty-one (221) women undergoing FET cycles with a triple-line endometrium C7 mm on day 14 endometrial and subendometrial blood flow was assessed using 3D power Doppler, and various indices endometrial volume, subendometrial volume and their vascularisation index (VI), flow index (FI) and vascularisation flow index (VFI) were obtained and compared between the pregnant and the non-pregnant group. Primary outcome was clinical pregnancy. He is a great teacher and mentor for the young aspiring gynecologist throughout the country. He is a strong believer of revolution through innovation and is an eminent gynecologist. He has specialized in urogynecology, minimally invasive surgeries, assisted reproductive techniques, high-risk pregnancy care and runs a state-of-the-art Genetic Lab and fetal medicine unit. Dr. Vineet Mishra has been the organizing chairperson of urogynecology committee from year 2011 to 2013. He has a strong vision and has organized many prestigious CME programmes and has shared his knowledge as a guest lecturer across the country.The Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of India (September-October 2016) 66(S1):S521-S527 DOI 10.1007/s13224-016-0871-5 123Results Out of 221 women, 97(43.89 %) became pregnant, while 124 (56.10 %) failed to become pregnant. The endometrial volume was comparable between the two groups. Endometrial VI, FI and VFI were significantly higher in the pregnant as compared to the non-pregnant group. There was a significant difference in subendometrial VI and VFI between the two groups, but FI was similar. Conclusions Endometrial and subendometrial vascularity by 3D power Doppler can be a useful parameter in predicting pregnancy in FET cycles.

“…Two parameters are considered to predict pregnancy: a) endometrial volume and b) (sub) endometrial flow. a) The first studies reported a good correlation between endometrial volume and pregnancy (31)(32)(33). Although it has been shown that the endometrium must attain at least 2.0-2.5 ml to achieve a pregnancy, recent studies did not confirm the relation between endometrial volume and pregnancy outcome (33)(34)(35)(36)(37).…”

Although it has been shown that the endometrium must attain at least 2.0-2.5 ml to achieve a pregnancy, recent studies did not confirm the relation between endometrial volume and pregnancy outcome (33)(34)(35)(36)(37). In our study, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was statistically significant for endometrial volume when no grade 1 embryos or only one were transferred but not significant when two or three grade 1 embryos were transferred (34).…”

“…No pregnancy occurred of endometrial volume was < 2.5 ml. Zollner et al(2003) evaluated endometrial volume in 125 women undergoing IVF. They found that pregnancy rate was lower in patients with endometrial volume < 2.5 ml (9.4%) compared with those with endometrial volume ≥2.5 ml (35%).…”
