Abstract
Objective: To determine whether or not endometrial thickness, echogenic pattern and E2/P ratio measured on the day of embryo transfer can serve as reliable predictors of treatment outcome following ICST/ET cycles. Methods: A total of 367 infertile women undergoing embryo transfer after ICSI cycles were studied in a prospective study. Ultrasound measurement of endometrial thickness on the day of hCG administration and on the day of ET and of endometrial echo-pattern, E2/P ratio on the day of embryo transfer, hormonal profile (Day 3 FSH, LH and E2), and various other variables (age, BMI, number of oocytes retrieved per patient, fertilization rate, number and quality of embryos) were evaluated. These variables were compared among the clinical pregnancy, chemical pregnancy and non-pregnant groups. Also, their influence on implantation rate was examined. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the measured endometrial thickness on the day of hCG administration (10.67±2.25, 10.59±2.18, 10.56±2.22, p=0.5) and that measured on the day of embryo transfer among the three groups. The distribution of patients with type A endometrium among the clinical pregnancy Vs the chemical pregnancy group (p=0.9) and that among the clinical pregnancy group Vs the non-pregnant group (p=0.14) was statistically insignificant. The E2/P ratio was calculated and compared among the three groups, however the difference was statistically insignificant (78.08±85.27, 51.86±44.81, 110.57±274.49, p=0.65)
