“…They also found that there was no significant difference in endometrial thickness and thus there was a similar pregnancy rate. These results were in contrast to the studies by Martins et al [13] and 27-Shivtare et al [27]. In our study, in terms of endometrial pattern, the frequency of isoechoic and hyperechoic patterns was higher than multilayer pattern, but no significant difference was observed in the pregnancy rate in the multilayer pattern and higher isoechoic and hyperechoic patterns (p=0.284).According to the findings of this study, among the underlying variables, only AMH was inversely related to endometrial blood flow (P=0.029) but other factors were not related to endometrial and subendometrial blood flows.…”

Objective: this study was effects of endometrial and subendometrial blood perfusion and endometrial volume on endometrial receptivity in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Materials and methods: This prospective observational cohort study, that on infertile women who referred for FET to Shariati Hospital and Omid Infertility Clinic in Tehran (Iran) .112 patients selected among eligible women with good quality embryos. After homogenization, participants underwent endometrial preparation for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) according to a similar routine protocol. On the day of the FET, they underwent a thorough ultrasound examination for possible effective parameters. Subsequently, one to two good quality blastocysts were transferred, and the pregnancy outcomes were monitored. Results: In vitro fertilization (IVF) was performed on 112 patients with a mean age of 33.93±4.93 years. Although, serum β-HCG level was used to confirm pregnancy. Accordingly, out of 112 participating patients, 50 (44.6%) became pregnant after IVF. Based on the results of this study, the endometrial blood flow was significantly different between the two groups of pregnant and non-pregnant women, so that a higher pregnancy rate was observed in participants with multi-focal and spare endometrial blood flows (P<0.05). Additionally, a significant relationship between endometrial blood flow and pregnancy outcome so that there was more ongoing pregnancy rates in those with multi-focal and spare endometrial blood flows (P<0.05). But the endometrial variables of volume, length, width, thickness and pattern were not significantly different between the two groups of pregnant and non-pregnant women. Moreover, contextual parameters had no significant relationship with pregnancy outcome (P>0.05). Endometrial measurement indices were also ineffective on pregnancy outcomes and no significant difference was there between the groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: Collectively, the endometrial blood flow can play an effective role in improving pregnancy event and its stability after IVF, but the endometrial volume was unable to predict pregnancy event and its stability after IVF.

“…In a study conducted by Sardana et al ( 7 ), it was observed that groups with higher endometrial blood supply exhibited improved pregnancy outcomes. These findings are consistent with the results reported by Martins et al ( 13 ), Ragheb et al ( 14 ), and Ziadi et al ( 15 ). However, Mayer et al ( 8 ) presented contrasting findings, as they reported no significant differences in FI, VI, VFI, endometrial, and submandibular blood flows between the pregnant and non-pregnant groups.…”

“…In our study, the mean endometrial thickness was measured to be 9.5 mm in pregnant women and 12.3 mm in non-pregnant women. These findings are consistent with the studies conducted by Ragheb et al ( 14 ), Mayer et al ( 8 ), Ziadi et al ( 15 ), Souidan and Salama ( 12 ), and Kim et al ( 16 ), which also reported no significant difference in endometrial thickness and similar pregnancy rates.

“…The results revealed that women’s age did not have a significant effect on any of the Doppler flow indices in both the endometrial and subendometrial regions. These findings align with the results reported by Ragheb et al ( 14 ) and Ng et al ( 10 ), providing consistent evidence regarding the lack of influence of women’s age on Doppler flow indices in the endometrial and subendometrial areas. In this study, 2D ultrasound was utilized to measure endometrial parameters.…”

IntroductionFetal health and a receptive and healthy endometrium are two essential factors in achieving successful implantation. If the endometrium is unreceptive, postponing the transfer cycle to a suitable time can enhance the chances of pregnancy. This study aims to assess the impact of endometrial and sub-endometrial blood flows measured by Doppler ultrasound, as well as endometrial volume, on endometrial receptivity in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.Methods112 patients with a mean age of 33.93 ± 4.93 years underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF). Serum β-hCG level was used to confirm pregnancy, and among the participants, 50 (44.6%) achieved pregnancy after IVF.ResultsThe study results revealed a significant difference in endometrial blood flow between the pregnant and non-pregnant groups, with a higher pregnancy rate observed in participants exhibiting multi-focal and spare endometrial blood flows (p < 0.05). Furthermore, there was a notable association between endometrial blood flow and pregnancy outcome, as indicated by higher ongoing pregnancy rates in those with multi-focal and spare endometrial blood flows (p < 0.05). However, no significant differences were observed in endometrial variables such as volume, length, width, thickness, and pattern between the pregnant and non-pregnant groups. Additionally, contextual parameters showed no significant relationship with pregnancy outcome (p > 0.05). The study also found that endometrial measurement indices did not have a significant impact on pregnancy outcomes, with no significant differences observed between the groups (p > 0.05).ConclusionIn conclusion, endometrial blood flow is crucial for a successful pregnancy after IVF, while the predictive value of the endometrial volume is limited for pregnancy outcomes.

Background: Unfortunately, seeking in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) procedure is not a guarantee of success or achieving live birth. Recurrent failure of implantation remains a distressing event. There are strong efforts to assess endometrial receptivity particularly in cases subjected to assisted reproductive technology. Objective: To assess the role of estimating uterine artery blood flow (UABF) as well as endometrial blood flow via Doppler ultrasound prior to embryo transfer in IVF/ET cycles in prediction of pregnancy rate. Subjects and methods: A prospective observational investigation that was carried out on 80 women who were scheduled for ICSI cycles that was conducted at the private ICSI centers, durıng the perıod from October 2021 tıll October 2022. Results: The mean endometrial thickness was higher in women who got pregnant after ICSI compared to non-pregnant women after ICSI) [10.24± 1.6mm vs. 9.5±1.89 mm; respectively; P=0.05]. Additionally, the sub endometrial indices '' PI, RI, and S/D'' & uterine artery RI and S/D ratio were all significantly lower in women who get pregnant than in nonpregnant women after ICSI, (P<0.001). Besides, uterine artery PI was also significantly lower in pregnant cases after ICSI (P=0.001). Conclusion: Both uterine artery RI, and uterine artery S/D ratio had significantly the best diagnostic accuracy followed by sub-endometrial RI and sub-endometrial S/D ratio. So uterine artery and sub endometrial Doppler indices may be used independently or better combined with the other factors for configuration of a predictive algorithm for ICSI implantation or pregnancy rates prediction.
