Abstract

The uterine, arcuate, and intraovarian blood flow measurements by transvaginal color doppler ultrasonography on the day of hCG injection in 46 women undergoing treatment by IVF at Aegean University Family Planning and Infertility Research and Treatment Center were evaluated. In the pregnant group, average uterine and arcuate arteries blood flow resistance values were lower than those in nonpregnant women.
