Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Implantation, the process by which the embryo attaches to and penetrates the endometrium, is often seen as the bottle neck of reproductive treatments. Indeed, implantation failures are seen as a lingering problem.
The issue of diagnostic tests for assessing endometrial receptivity is vast and complex. This often leaves clinicians at a loss for choosing the right management. We will address the questions related to endometrial receptivity assessment in order to guide the clinician through an educated management. Repeated implantation failures unfortunately occur in ART. These may be due to uterine or embryonic causes. Chronic endometritis (CE) is an inflammatory alteration of the endometrium that causes implantation failures and miscarriages. The links between CE and endometriosis are very intriguing and need to be reviewed in detail. Priming endometrial receptivity for frozen embryo transfers (FETs) is a domain that has encountered notable new findings regarding progesterone levels and efficacy of vaginal administration. These new findings will be reviewed.
