Endometrial Priming for Embryo Transfer

September 19, 2017 updated by: Miguel Angel Checa, Parc de Salut Mar

A Randomised Control Trial to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety of Two Different Protocols of Endometrial Priming for Embryo Transfer.

The aim of this trial is compare two different endometrial priming protocols

  • women that receive oral estrogens
  • women that receive transdermal estrogens

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Oral strogen
2 mg of estradiol every day beginning the second day of the cycle until day 7. 4 mg of estradiol every day beginning 8th day of the cycle until day 10. 6 mg of estradiol every day beginning 11th day of the cycle until day 16.
Experimental: Transdermal strogen
One patch of 75 mcg of estradiol hemimydrate every 48 h from 2 to day 6. Two patches of 75 mcg of estradiol hemimydrate every 48 h from 6 to day 12. Three patches of 75 mcg of estradiol hemimydrate every 48 h from 12 to day 16.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Difference between day means in endometrial priming to achieve 7 mm.
Time Frame: 11-16 days
11-16 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biochemical Pregnancy rate
Time Frame: 26-30 days
To calculate the biochemical pregnancy rate, we will divide the number of biochemical pregnancy into the number of embryonary transference and multiply by 100.
26-30 days
The patient's adherence to the recommended treatment.
Time Frame: 1-16 days
1-16 days
