“…The effect of progesterone on the uterine artery blood flow has been less studied. In cases of luteal insufficiency, using exogenous progesterone levels increases uterine blood flow in the presence of normal estrogen levels [17]. In our study, we found increased endometrial thickness and endometrial volume with elevated E2 levels in the anovulatory group.…”

“…The vasodilatory action of progesterone might by explained by its non‐genomic effect6, as previously demonstrated in various systems and in both the non‐pregnant state9 and the first trimester of pregnancy10, 11. In a previous study by our group, progesterone administration induced rapid inhibition of platelet aggregation, which is believed to be involved in the regulation of vascular tone13.…”

“…The vasodilatory effect of progesterone in the non‐pregnant state9 and in the first trimester of pregnancy10, 11 is well recognized. The administration of progesterone in the mid‐luteal phase in non‐pregnant subjects decreases impedance to uterine artery blood flow in the presence of normal/high estrogen concentrations9.…”

“…61 Optimal uterine receptivity seems to occur when the mean pulsatility index of both arteries ranges between 2 and 3, 62-64 the implantation and pregnancy rates significantly decreasing when pulsatility is over three or four [62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70] or when diastolic flow is absent in the Doppler waveform. 69,70 These limits have been proposed as a clinical marker to indicate the convenience to transfer or not the embryo. In doing so, its ability to predict uterine receptivity presents high sensitivity (96-100%) and a high negative predictive value (88-100%) although it has low specificity (13-35%) and positive predictive value (44-56%) 10 ( Table 1).…”
