Abstract: Background: Uterine artery (UtA) Doppler examination has the ability to anticipate pregnancy difficulties linked with uteroplacental insufficiency prior to the appearance of clinical symptoms. Colour flow Doppler is used, and the UtA is recognised at the cervicocorporeal junction level.The purpose of this work was to assess the role of UtA Doppler indices in the second half of stimulated cycle as predicator of early pregnancy occurrence.
Methods: This cross-sectional work was performed on 80 infertile women aged from 20 to 35 years old, non-smokers, body mass index 29.9KG/m2 or less, who are treated by stimulant drugs for ovulation induction, history of primary infertility and normal semen analysis based on WHO. All patients were subjected to transvaginal sonography (TVU) in mid luteal phase (day 21:22) for detection of right and left UtA resistance Index (RI) and pulsatility Index (PI).
Results: There was an insignificantly different among pregnant and non-pregnant women regarding menstrual regulation and infertility period. PI and RI were insignificantly different among pregnant and non-pregnant women.
Conclusion: Doppler parameters have no significant prediction of pregnancy, in the second half of stimulated cycles.
