Abstract
Purpose: To determine if pregnancy rates following embryo transfer are reduced if the endometrial echo pattern in the late proliferative phase is isoechogenic (IE) vs triple line (TL). Methods: Pregnancy and implantation rates were compared according to TL vs IE pattern in the late proliferative phase in women having in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), frozen ET, and transfer of embryos derived from donor oocytes. Results: There was no difference in pregnancy rates with IE vs TL pattern with fresh or frozen ET or in donor egg recipients. The degree of ovarian reserve did not affect the pregnancy rates according to endometrial echo pattern. Conclusions: The presence of an IE pattern in the late proliferative phase should not influence the treating physician to either cancel the cycle and withhold human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection or freeze all embryos and defer transfer.
