Intrauterine administration of platelet-rich plasma improves embryo implantation by increasing the endometrial thickness in women with repeated implantation failure: A single-arm self-controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of intrauterine administration of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle in Japanese patients with a thin endometrium.

Method

A prospective single-arm self-controlled trial was conducted in Japan. PRP administration was performed in 36 of the 39 eligible patients with a thin endometrium (≤7 mm). Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with estrogen was performed for 2 menstrual cycles, and PRP was administrated on the 10th and 12th days of the second HRT cycle. The endometrial thickness was evaluated on transvaginal ultrasonography by two physicians at every visit, one an attending physician and the other a specialist physician blinded to the date and timing of the sonography. FET was
