Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between endometrial and sub-endometrial blood flow and implantation rate in patients whose undergone in vitro fertilization. Methods: A prospective study was conducted. Long protocol and antagonist regimens were administered to the patients. Endometrial and sub-endometrial blood flow was evaluated by using 3 dimensional Doppler ultrasonography on the day of oocyt retrieval measurement. For comparison pregnant and non-pregnant women in terms of endometrial and sub-endometrial blood flow, t test was used. The p value was considered statistically meaningful as <0.05. Results: Endometrial and sub-endometrial blood flow was not different between pregnant and non-pregnant women in both groups (p>0.05). In long protocol group, the number of embryo was greater in pregnant women than non-pregnant women (p=0.012). The number of transferred embryo increased pregnancy rate almost 3.5 fold (p=0.002). Conclusion: The endometrial and subendometrial blood flow is not reliable factor in prediction pregnancy or implantation.
