About

Do differences in endometrial gene expression exist after different protocols of endometrial preparation for embryo transfer? The recent apparition of endometrial receptive arrays technology let us know if endometrial is receptive or not in patients with some problems of infertility as implantation failure, for that we want to know if this technology would tell us if the different kind of protocols for endometrial preparation origin differences that could explain some of the founded results.

Full description

Do differences in endometrial gene expression exist after different protocols of endometrial preparation for embryo transfer? The clinical results in different publications showed different results, some of them described the natural cycle superior as the substituted cycles, and in contrast other large series showed superior results in substituted cycles than natural but with an increased of pregnancies losses. The recent apparition of endometrial receptive arrays technology let us know if endometrial is receptive or not in patients with some problems of infertility as implantation failure, for that we want to know if this technology would tell us if the different kind of protocols for endometrial preparation origin differences that could explain some of the founded results.

Trial design

5 participants in 1 patient group

pilot study

Description:

A total of 5 volunteers from our egg donation program were included in the study with 4 endometrial biopsies for each one after 4 diferente protocols * Endometrial biopsy after Stimulated cycle * Endometrial biopsy after Natural Cycle * Endometrial biopsy after Natural modified cycle: the biopsy is taken seven days after the hCG * Endometrial biopsy after Hormone Replacement Therapy Cycle

Treatment:

Procedure: Endometrial Biopsy
