Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome: successful pregnancyoutcomes of the research. Timepoint: Before entering the study,12 weeks after implantation. Method of measurement: To check a successful pregnancy, the implantation rate, the number of gestational sacs and the growth of the fetus until the 12th week of pregnancy will be recorded and analyzed and compared.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Arterial resistance index. Timepoint: Before entering the study, after drug and electrotherapy intervention (after 1 Month). Method of measurement: Examination of arterial resistance index is done using transvaginal ultrasound. To identify the state of uterine blood supply, the blood flow changes of the uterine arteries, arcuate artery and subendometrial vessels will be investigated in the follicular stage. Measurements will be reported independently for the right and left uterine arteries.;Arterial pulsatility index. Timepoint: Before entering the study, after drug and electrotherapy intervention (after 1 Month). Method of measurement: Examination of arterial pulsatility index is done using transvaginal ultrasound. To identify the state of uterine blood supply, the blood flow changes of the uterine arteries, arcuate artery and subendometrial vessels will be investigated in the follicular stage. Measurements will be reported independently for the right and left uterine arteries.;Peak systolic velocity. Timepoint: Before entering the study, after drug and electrotherapy intervention (after 1 Month). Method of measurement: Examination of peak systolic velocity is done using transvaginal ultrasound. To identify the state of uterine blood supply, the blood flow changes of the uterine arteries, arcuate artery and subendometrial vessels will be investigated in the follicular stage. Measurements will be reported independently for the right and left uterine arteries.;End diastolic velocity. Timepoint: Before entering the study, after drug and electrotherapy intervention (after 1 Month). Method of measurement: Examination of end diastolic velocity is done using transvaginal ultrasound. To identify the state of uterine blood supply, the blood flow changes of the uterine arteries, arcuate artery and subendometrial vessels will be investigated in the follicular stage. Measurements will be reported independently for the right and left uterine arteries.;Endometrial pattern. Timep
