Abstract
Study question
Does endometrial thickness (ET) impact live birth rate (LBR) in single euploid frozen embryo transfer cycles?
Summary answer
Cycles with the thinnest endometrial lining exhibit a decline in LBR, but the magnitude of such effect and its threshold is variable.
What is known already
Thin endometrium is thought to be an impediment to FET cycle success, and it is widely believed that pregnancy and live birth rates are improved when the ET is > 6-8 mm. However, evidence for this is limited and some studies report contradictory findings which indicate that ET does not significantly impact LBR.
