Abstract

One of the key factors in implantation and pregnancy is endometrium. Sufficiently great percentage of in vitro fertilization failure is because of the endometrial receptivity therefore, high quality embryo and adequate receptive endometrial growth are important for successful implantation. Platelet rich plasma has beneficial effect in advancement of endometrial thickness for women with thin endometrial thickness. PRP can be used in various medical conditions including patients with refractory endometrium as a complementary therapy to conventional treatment.
 Aim: To determine the effectiveness of intrauterine infusion of autologous platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of thin endometrium of infertile women.
 Objectives:
 
 To identify infertile female patients with inadequate endometrial growth (less than 7 mm) in the past frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles despite standard treatments.
 To observe intrauterine infusion of autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in these infertile female patients with thin endometrium.
 To determine the effectiveness of intrauterine infusion of autologous PRP in the treatment of thin endometrium of infertile women during In vitro fertilization (IVF).
 
 Methods: It is a prospective observational study. Present study will be carried out with 30 patients. Women having inappropriate endometrial thickness of less than 7 mm, in past FET cycles will be included. Sonographic machine will be used; to measure endometrial thickness by an expert Gynecologist, where thickest part of uterus will be measured in longitudinal axis. 
 Expected Results: It is expected that intra uterine infusion of PRP will be effective in thickening of endometrial wall in patients with thin endometrium. Once the results are satisfactory it can be helpful for endometrial preparation in reproduction techniques.
 Conclusion: Present study is purposed to testify PRP as a novel method for advancement of reproductive medicine, it will be helpful to overcome with the issues such as inadequate thickness of endometrium, poor response to conventional therapy and increase clinical pregnancies and live births positively.

Summary

Introduction

The percentage of couples suffering from infertility is about 13%, infertility became a global public health issue. Since the first in vitro fertilization ﴾IVF﴿ attempts in the mid1970s, various study states the vital role of endometrium with embryo itself in achieving pregnancy [1]. It states only a good quality of embryo can provide good coordination between mother and fetus implantation and pregnancy. One of the key factors in implantation and pregnancy is endometrium. Great percentage of in vitro fertilization failure is because of the endometrial receptivity high quality embryo and adequate receptive endometrial growth are important for successful implantation [2,3]. In numerous studies conducted for embryo transfer, minimum endometrium thickness was found to be 7mm [4,5,6]
