The effect of endometrial thickness at day of hCG on ICSI outcome

Abstract EN

-Assisted reproduction has been commonly used in infertility treatment over the last two decades.

The high cost and relatively low implantation and pregnancy in in-vitro fertilization and its treatment cycles has led to a need to evaluate the predictors of success in these patients.

One of the important factors is the endometrial receptivity. Design: prospective study Setting: Assisted reproduction technology unit, international Islamic center for population studies and research, A1-Azhar University. Meth©ds: This was a prospective study of 286 infertile women met the inclusion criteria during the study period.

For COH utilizing the mid luteal long agonist protocol, endometrial thickness was measured in the mid sagittal plan of the uterine body on the day of hCG administration scheduled for ICSI at Assisted reproduction technology unit, international Islamic center for population studies and research, A1-Azhar University within period January 2009 to September 2009. during the study period.

For COH, utilizing the mid luteal long agonist protocol, endometrial thickness was measured in the mid s^ittal plane of the uterine body on the day of hCG administration. Result: Overall, 286 patients met the inclusion criteria during the study period.

The range of age for the patients was 20 - 35 yrs.

168 patients (66.9%) had male factor infertility
