Abstract:
Objective To observe and classify endometrial wavelike activities in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) cycles,and to study their effect on assisted reproductive techniques(ART) outcomes in COH cycles.Methods Patterns of endometrium wavelike movements were described,then their percentages of the total endometrium movements were calculated and compared retrospectively in 57 infertile women who had undergone ART treatments with different outcomes.Results Five types of endometrial wavelike movements could be distinguished:No activity, random,positive,negative,and opposing endometrium movements.The frequencies and types of endometrial movements varied in COH cycles.Endometrium movements,especially negative movements more frequently appeared in non-conception group than in conception group.Conclusions Abnormal endometrium activity could be seemed as underlying mechanisms in some cases of unexplained infertility or ART failure.
