A Case Report of Successful Live Pregnancy Following Embryo Transfer in a Thin Endometrium.

Managing a thin endometrium is a common challenge in assisted reproductive treatments. The thickness of the endometrium is crucial for embryo implantation, with younger patients generally having higher success rates even with a thinner lining. A frozen embryo transfer cycle often allows for a more thorough assessment of the endometrium compared to a fresh transfer. We present a case of a 36-year-old woman who presented to our fertility center with primary infertility for six years. Despite having regular menstrual cycles, her endometrial thickness consistently measured between 5 and 6.0 mm on ultrasonography. She underwent ovarian stimulation using an antagonist protocol, resulting in the retrieval of oocytes and the freezing of three embryos. However, three frozen embryo transfer cycles were cancelled due to inadequate endometrial thickness (ranging from 4.3 to 5.2 mm). In the fourth cycle, she was treated with gonadotropins with the goal of achieving two to three follicles and improved endometrial thickness. Triggering was performed on day 15, followed by the transfer of one frozen embryo at an endometrial thickness of 5.7 mm. Her beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level was positive, with an initial value of 136.9 mIU/mL, and she subsequently delivered a healthy baby. This case highlights the challenges of managing a thin endometrium in assisted reproductive techniques. Through persistent efforts and tailored treatment protocols, a successful live birth was achieved despite recurrent thin endometrium. This case underscores the importance of individualized treatment strategies in overcoming endometrial challenges in infertility treatments.
