Influence of endometrial thickness and echo patterns on pregnancy rates during in vitro fertilization.
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.
