Conventional approaches used in clinical practicesfor assessing endometrial receptivity
Cervicovaginal fluid
Washing
2 approaches
Direct aspirationor
Look for cytokine, interleukin and GF secretions
Higher & variabledilution factor
Contamination bycervical mucusand/or blood
To date, supplementary studies should be performed to identify markerslinked to endometrial receptivity in endometrial secretions

Fundamental research for assessing endometrialreceptivity
Single biomarker
Numerous endometrial proteins have been suggested based on their sequentialtemporal expression with respect to the implantation window:
glycodelin A,aVb3 integrin,osteopontin,
LIF,colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1),
mucin 1…
Further studies are needed with large patient cohorts including fertile andinfertile women in order to determine their predictive value as markers ofendometrial receptivity

. LH day +6 to +10
. Phases: signaling, apposition, attachment, invasion
. Key associated findings:luminal epithelial pinopodes;expression of adhesion molecules, andnovel cytokines profile

A wide range of potential candidates exists.Potential markers are in Endometrium, Embryo,Immuno system or Vascular system
Studies must show that a bio-marker is:1- measurable without disturbing implantation2- sensitive and specific
Do implantation factors explain IVFSuccess/failure ?

The transcriptomic pattern of endometrial cells in N and Scycles in the same patients reveals either moderate or strongalterations of endometrial receptivity under COS protocols.
This information open new perspectives, particularly in patientswith multiple implantation failures.
In this case, analysis of the endometrial profile could reveal astrongly altered profile during COS protocols, prompting theclinician to either adapt the IVF stimulation protocol or to
perform embryo transfer later during a N cycle.
CONCLUSIONS
![Page 37: Human Endometrial Receptivity](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/577c7ff11a28abe054a6a46c/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Both protocols affect endometrial receptivity in comparisonwith their N cycle.
Major differences in endometrial chemokines and growthfactors in S cycles in comparison with N cycles were observed,
associated with gene expression alterations of endometrialreceptivity genes.
The endometrial receptivity under GnRH antagonist was closerto the N cycle receptivity than under GnRH agonist protocols.
CONCLUSIONS
![Page 38: Human Endometrial Receptivity](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022013004/577c7ff11a28abe054a6a46c/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
GnRH antagonist mimics more closely the naturalendometrial receptivity than GnRH agonist long
protocols.
The use as a first choice of GnRH agonist longprotocol for normal responder patients should be
reconsidered.
