Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the minimal endometrial thickness at the time of ovulation at which conception is possible. METHODS: Treatment with luteal phase progesterone support after oocyte release despite attainment of a maximal thickness of 4 mm. RESULTS: A pregnancy and successful delivery were achieved. CONCLUSIONS: Pregnancy is possible with only a 4 mm peak endometrial thickness, at least when follicle maturing drugs are not used.
