Evaluation of endometrial preparation using either human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) stimulation and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) prior to blastocyst transfer in patients with moderate to severe intrauterine adhesion (IUA).

experimental group:Women will be given HMG 37.5-150IU daily followed by monitoring of the follicular growth (folliculometry) when serum Estradiol (E2)\<100pg/ml,progesterone (P)\<1ng/ml. Final oocyte maturation will be induced by administration of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) when there will be at least one leading follicle ≥20mm in diameter followed by luteal phase support (using progesterone supplements) after 24 hours.
Women will be given 17 β-estradiol hemihydrate 2 mg and estrogen gel 5 g daily from day 3 of the cycle then the endometrial thickness will be assessed on day 7 by transvaginal sonography (TVS). If the endometrium is ≥ 9 mm, luteal phase support (using progesterone supplements) will be started but if the endometrium is \< 9 mm, estradiol will be continued until reaching appropriate endometrial thickness and then the luteal phase support will be started. The cycle will be cancelled If the estradiol administration \>60 days.

Ongoing pregnancy rate
Ongoing pregnancy is defined as the presence of a gestational sac with foetal heartbeat by transvaginal ultrasound at 10th week after embryo transfer(ET)
Time frame: 10th week after embryo transfer
Cycle cancellation rate
Time frame: the day of embryo transfer
Implantation rate
Sacs seen in early ultrasound divided by the number of embryos transferred
Time frame: 4th weeks after embryo transfer
Clinical pregnancy rate
Number of patients with ultrasound evidence of pregnancy divided by the number of embryo transfers
Time frame: 4th weeks after embryo transfer
Early miscarriage rate
Number of losses of clinical pregnancies divided by number of clinical pregnancies
Time frame: 12th weeks gestational age
Biochemical pregnancy rate
number of pregnancies with a transient elevation of serum human chorionic gonadotropin(β-hCG) level (\>10 mIU/ml) divided by number of embryo transfers
Time frame: 4th weeks after embryo transfer
