Effect of endometrial preparation protocols on the risk of ectopic pregnancy for frozen embryo transfer

Abstract Studies have consistently reported a significantly reduced incidence of ectopic pregnancy (EP) for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (ET) cycles compared with fresh cycles. However, only a few studies reported an association between endometrial preparation protocols on EP and results were confl...
