ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the association of mid-luteal phase echo patterns and pregnancy rates (PRs) following frozen embryo transfer (ET).METHODS:
Sonographic evaluation of endometrial echo patterns was performed three days after ET in the first frozen ET cycle of women < 40 years of age who used their own oocytes as well as all donor oocyte recipients.RESULTS:
The distribution of echo patterns and clinical PRs were similar in women using their own eggs and women who used donor oocytes; therefore all data was combined. The clinical PR was 49.5% with a hyperechogenic echo pattern vs 38.8% with a non-hyperechogenic pattern, p = .007.CONCLUSION:
A larger study of frozen ET and mid-luteal echo pattern now demonstrates conclusions similar to the data from fresh ET in hyperstimulated in vitro fertilization (IVF)-ET cycles in that failure to attain a hyperechogenic echo pattern three days after ET is associated with lower pregnancy rates.
