Many studies have implicated endometrial thickness and pattern as prognostic parameters for successful outcomes in IVF-ET.

Some studies have suggested a minimal thickness for a successful pregnancy to occur, while others have reported adverse effects of increased endometrial thickness above which pregnancy is unlikely to occur.
