Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1.Women aged 20 to 50 years; 2.In an IVF cycle, if the endometrial thickness is diagnosed as thin, defined as an endometrial thickness < 8 mm measured via ultrasound on the HCG trigger day, the endometrial thickness is determined as the maximum distance from one interface between the endometrium and myometrium to the other in the sagittal plane of the uterus. The endometrial thickness on the HCG day is usually used to decide whether to proceed with a fresh embryo transfer. To minimize error, repeat measurements are taken and averaged; 3.The patient underwent at least one subsequent embryo transfer (either fresh or frozen) after egg retrieval in the IVF cycle.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The study excluded IVF cycles involving: (1) Pre-implantation genetic testing or diagnosis; (2) The use of frozen oocytes/sperm; (3) Donor oocyte cycles; (4) In vitro maturation cycles; (5) There are cycles with clear indications for canceling fresh embryo transfer, including: ?Abnormalities in the uterine cavity or adnexa, such as endometrial structural disorders, polyps, adenomyosis, endometriosis, hydrosalpinx, or uterine diverticulum; ?Elevated progesterone on the trigger day (defined as > 1.5 ng/ml); ?Risk of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) (defined as = 18 oocytes retrieved); ?Cycles using luteal phase stimulation, high progesterone stimulation, or clomiphene stimulation protocols. (6) Cycles where no oocytes were retrieved, no 2PN zygotes were obtained, or no viable embryos were available on day three post-retrieval were also excluded.
