title: Artificial endometrial stimulation for frozen embryo replacement.
abstract: In this study, 18 cycles initiated for the transfer of cryopreserved embryos. Endometrium was prepared using a uniform protocol of exogenous E and P. This approach eliminated cycle cancellations caused by ovulatory dysfunction and gave complete cycle control. Fourteen cycles had embryo division and replacement resulting in three pregnancies. In these conception cycles, E was discontinued at 12 days and P at 26 days after ET. One aborted at 6 weeks gestation, whereas the other two pregnancies progressed uneventfully into the third trimester.
