Current methods for estimating the window of implantation in patients undergoing IVF treatment
The paper provides a systems analysis of the data available in modern scientific literature on current methods for evaluating the markers of the window of implantation and on their search in patients with infertility. It describes the most significant markers of endometrial receptivity and methods for its assessment in infertile patients before embryo transfer in the in vitro fertilization (IVF) program. In consideration of highly contradictory data, further investigations are needed to search for predictors for the best day for implantation and to further understand the processes of synchronization between embryonic and endometrial development in order to enhance the effectiveness of an assisted reproductive technology program.Polovneva M.I., Korneeva I.E., Burmenskaya O.V.
