DESIGN: This is a prospective, nonrandomized study comparing pregnancy rates in patients with hyperechoic homogeneous patterns with those in patients with isoechoic or hypoechoic trilaminar patterns. SETTING: Tertiary infertility center. PATIENTS: All patients receiving menotropin therapy at a tertiary infertility center. INTERVENTIONS: All patients received individualized dosing of hMG starting on cycle day 3. Transvaginal sonography was performed 15 hours before hCG administration and the endometrium was assessed. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Occurrence of pregnancy as determined by serially rising beta-hCG titers and sonographic confirmation. RESULTS: During the study period, 175 patients were evaluated. Thirty-four (19%) patients had a homogeneous endometrium, whereas 141 (81%) patients had a trilaminar pattern. There was 1 pregnancy (2.9%) among women with a homogeneous endometrial pattern and 33 pregnancies (23%) among those with a trilaminar pattern. No significant differences were found in mean E2 level, follicle numbers, parity, and diagnosis between the two groups. CONCLUSION: In patients receiving menotropins, a homogeneous pattern is a bad prognostic sign, regardless of endometrial thickness.Publication Types: Clinical trial Controlled clinical trial PMID: 8690110, UI: 96305967 Summary Brief Abstract Citation MEDLINE ASN.1 XML/SGML LinkOut Related Articles Protein Links Nucleotide Links Popset Links Structure Links Genome Links OMIM Links Write to the Help Desk NCBI | NLM | NIH Department of Health & Human Services Freedom of Information Act | Disclaimer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
