Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Investigating the state of uterine blood supply (arterial resistance index, arterial pulse index, peak systolic velocity, end-diastolic velocity). Timepoint: before intervention (10th day of of menstruation), after intervention (10th day of of menstruation). Method of measurement: Transvaginal ultrasound.;Endometrial thickness. Timepoint: before intervention (10th day of of menstruation), after intervention (10th day of of menstruation). Method of measurement: Transvaginal ultrasound.;Successful pregnancy. Timepoint: 14 days after embryo transfer in cleavage stage and 12 days after embryo transfer in blastocyst stage. Method of measurement: Measuring serum BHCG level and checking the ratio of cases with a positive result (BHCG level = 25 [10]mIU/ml) to all transferred cases.;Implantation rate. Timepoint: Fifth week of pregnancy. Method of measurement: The ratio of the number of intrauterine gestational sacs observed by vaginal ultrasound in the fifth week of pregnancy divided by the number of embryos transferred.;Fetal growth. Timepoint: Up to the 12th week of pregnancy. Method of measurement: Ultrasound. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Endometrial pattern. Timepoint: At the beginning of the intervention (day 10 of menstruation), at the end of the intervention (day 10 of menstruation). Method of measurement: Using transvaginal ultrasound.;Sexual performance index. Timepoint: At the beginning of the intervention (day 10 of menstruation), at the end of the intervention (day 10 of menstruation). Method of measurement: FSFI index.;Level of depression.
