Ultrasonographic Measurements of Uterine Junctional Zone and Association With In Vitro Fertilization Treatment Outcome

Ultrasonographic Measurements of Uterine Junctional Zone and Association With In Vitro Fertilization Treatment Outcome

The aim of this study is to prospectively examine the relationship of the uterine junctional zone thickness, evaluated by ultrasonography and In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment outcome. The study hypothesis is that the uterine junctional zones of women who did not achieve pregnancy will be thicker than those of the women who do achieve pregnancy

Ultrasounds of women who achieve pregnancy after IVF treatment will be compared to ultrasounds of women who do not achieve pregnancy. Their uterine junctional zone thickness will be compared.

The study hypothesis is that the uterine junctional zones of women who did not achieve pregnancy will be thicker than those of the women who do achieve pregnancy.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Undergoing IVF treatment due to male factor, polycystic ovary syndrome and unexplained infertility
