Abstract

Amaç: Kontrollü ovulasyon indüksiyonu ve intrauterin inseminasyon (OI-IUI) tüm
dünyada infertil çiftlerde ilk basamak tedavi olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu
çalışmada OI-IUI yapılan nedeni belirlenemeyen infertilite olgularında Hcg günü
değerlendirilen endometrial kalınlık ve paternin tedavi başarısına etkisini
inceledik.

Materyel-metod: Bu çalışmada Şubat 2013-Eylül 2013 tarihleri arasında nedeni
belirlenemeyen infertilite tanısı alan 101 çift ve132 IUI siklusu prospektif
olarak incelendi.

Bulgular: 132 siklusta 22 gebelik elde
edildi ve siklus başına gebelik oranı %16.6 hasta başına gebelik oranı %21.7
olarak hesaplandı. Gebelik pozitif ve negatif
olan grupta kullanılan FSH dozu, stimülasyon süresi, bazal FSH, bazal E2,
TPMSS, IUI siklus sayısı, folikül çapı arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı.
Gebelik pozitif olan grupta infertilite süresi 2.1±1.4 yıl gebelik negatif olan grupta 4.1±2.3 yıldı ve
bu fark anlamlı olarak daha kısaydı (p <
0,05). Gebelik pozitif olan grupta antral folikül sayısı  ve hCG günü folikül sayısı gebelik negatif
olan gruptan anlamlı (p < 0.05) olarak daha yüksekti. Hcg günü yapılan
endometrial değerlendirmede gebelik elde edilen grupta 9.8±1.1 mm,
gebelik elde edilemeyen grupta ise 9.6±3.5 mm ölçüldü ve endometrial kalınlığın veya endometrium paterninin her
iki grup arasında anlamlı farklılık göstermediği görüldü.

Sonuç: İnfertilite
tedavisinde OI-IUI uygulanan hastalarda hCG günü ölçülen endometrial kalınlık
ve endometrial paternin gebelik oranlarını etkilemediği görüldü.

THE EFFECT OF THICKNESS AND PATTERN OF ENDOMETRIUM ON SUCCESS RATE ON HCG DAY IN INFERTILE COUPLES TREATED WITH OVULATION INDUCTION VIA GONADOTROPINS AND INTRAUTERINE INSEMINATION

Abstract

Aim: Ovulation induction and intrauterine insemination is
the first line therapy chosen for infertile couples. In this study, we
investigated the effect of endometrial thickness and endometrial pattern;
examined on HCG day,  on the success rate of OI-IUI performed in
unexplained infertility cases on the day of HCG.

Material and
Method: In this study 101 couples and
132 IUI cycle who were diagnoses unexplained infertility
were examined  prospectively.

Results: 22 successful pregnancy was achieved in 132 cycles,
the rate of pregnancy was calculated as %16.6 per cycle and %21.7 per patient.
There was no significant difference between clinically proved
pregnancy-positive and negative outcome groups regarding FSH dosage, duration
of stimulation, basal FSH level, basal E2, TPMSS, number of IUI cycle, follicle
diameter. Infertility period was calculated as 2.1 ± 1.4 years, and 4.1 ± 2.3
years positive and negative outcome groups respectively.  The difference
was statistically significant (p < 0.05). The number of an antral follicle
and follicle count on HCG day was significantly different on pregnancy positive
group compared to pregnancy negative group (p< 0.05).  Endometrial thickness
was measured as 9.8±1.1 mm and 9.6±3.5 mm in groups with positive and negative
outcomes respectively. There was no significant difference regarding
endometrial thickness and endometrial pattern.

Result: There was no significant difference between pregnancy
clinically proven and unproven groups in terms of endometrial thickness and
endometrial pattern on the day HCG performed.
