title: Influence of endometrial thickness and echo patterns on pregnancy rates during in vitro fertilization.
abstract: Previous data has suggested that improved PRs were seen in women with increased endometrial thickness as determined by sonography before oocyte retrieval. The hyperstimulation protocol used was CC-hMG. The study presented herein was initiated to evaluate if a similar trend was evident in women whose hyperstimulation protocol included the long LA-hMG therapy. We also demonstrated an improved PR in women with greater endometrial thickness, but in general, the endometrium was thicker in the pregnant women treated with the gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist than in those treated with CC.
