Relationship of the individual uterine size and the endometrial thickness in stimulated cycles.

At present there is no agreement regarding the usefulness of monitoring the endometrial thickness in stimulated cycles. We tested prospectively the hypothesis of a linear relationship of the given individual uterine size and the endometrial thickness in stimulated cycles using a 240 degrees transvaginal sector scanner. There was a strong correlation of the uterine dimension with the endometrial thickness in the midfollicular and the early luteal phase. Our findings suggest that the endometrial thickness is determined by the individual uterine architecture and therefore not predictive of the likelihood of implantation.
