Effects of Intrauterine Human Chorionic Gonadotropin on Endometrial Receptivity in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycle by Omaima Al Dosary, Huda Hussaini, Manal Al-Obaidi

“…It modifies the uterine environment, encourages uterine receptivity, and plays a key role in embryo implantation.Objectives: To determine the impact of intrauterine infusion of hCG at day of ovum pickup on the endometrial receptivity using ultrasound measurement of endometrial thickness and sub-endometrial blood flow indices like resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), and systole/diastole (S/D) ratio, and on improvement of intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcome.Material and methods: This comparative study included 90 infertile females from the High Institute of Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproductive Technologies, Baghdad, Iraq. The patients were randomly classified into three groups: Group A (30 women received intrauterine insemination of 700 IU hCG); Group B (30 women received 500 IU hCG); and Group C (30 women received no intervention). …”
