Objective: To study the endometrial thickness and embryo quality
during In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) cycles in predicting IVF outcome.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 206 infertile patients
undergoing 218 IVF cycles in Yasmin Clinic, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo
National Referral Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. All IVF
cycles were performed from January 2005 until May 2009. The outcome of this study is the clinical pregnancy following IVF cycles.
The endometrial thickness was measured on the day of human
chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) administration. The number of embryos that developed ⥠8 cells on cleavage II represented as the embryo quality.
Results: There were 51 among 218 cycles (23.4%) resulted in
pregnancy. The endometrial thickness on day of hCG administration
was significantly higher in pregnant group compared to non-pregnant
group (11.49±1.97 mm versus 10.13±1.93mm; p
