RESUMO
We conducted this prospective study to evaluate the prognostic significance of uterine and ovarian artery Doppler velocimetry in clomiphene citrate [CC] cycles. A total of 80 patients with unexplained infertility were given 100 mg/day of CC from day 3 to day 7 of their cycles in this current prospective study. On cycle day 3, before administration of CC, each patient underwent Doppler transvaginal ultrasonography. The Doppler velocimetries of the right and left uterine and ovarian arteries were recorded and analyzed in association with demographic and clinical parameters. There were 6 out of 80 patients who became pregnant, the overall pregnancy rate in this population was 7.5% for the current study. The cases were divided into two groups according to whether they became pregnant or not. Demographic characteristics showed no statistically significant differences between these groups [p>0.05]. However, the duration of infertility did show statistically significant differences between the groups. Doppler velocimetry was not statistically significantly different between the two groups. Doppler velocimetry of the uterine and ovarian arteries is not a factor in the prognosis for pregnancy in CC cycles
