Measurement of endometrial volume increase during the first week after embryo transfer by three-dimensional ultrasound to detect pregnancy: a preliminary study

Endometrial volume and thickness were measured in 20 women undergoing in vitro fertilization on the day before the embryo transfer and one week later by three-dimensional ultrasound. The endometrial volume increase was higher in the 8 pregnant women (0.70 cm3 at least) than in the 12 nonpregnant wom...

Description
Summary:	Endometrial volume and thickness were measured in 20 women undergoing in vitro fertilization on the day before the embryo transfer and one week later by three-dimensional ultrasound. The endometrial volume increase was higher in the 8 pregnant women (0.70 cm3 at least) than in the 12 nonpregnant women (0.21 cm3 at most).
