Introduction
Treatment of refractory thin endometrium during IVF is a relatively challenging problem, considering that optimal endometrium thickness is one of the critical factors for successful implantation and pregnancy. Autologous intrauterine platelet-rich plasma (PRP) infusion is an adjuvant therapeutic alternative for enhancing the endometrial thickness (EMT) and echo pattern. It was shown that PRP could expand EMT and improve pregnancy outcomes with its high content of growth factors and cytokines, and its role in the regulation of the immunological interaction between the embryo and the endometrium. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of autologous PRP in improving the ongoing pregnancy rate in patients with refractory thin endometrium undergoing IVF.

Material and methods
A prospective study in Ain Shams University Hospital including 66 infertile women with a refractory thin endometrium below 7 mm by ultrasound on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin injection in fresh embryo transfer (ET) cycle, who did not respond to standard medical therapies after more than 2 cycles of previous medical therapy, and who were candidates for IVF cycle were given intrauterine PRP.

Results
A significant increase in EMT was noted and enhancement of endometrial pattern after intrauterine PRP infusion in the days of ovum pick-up and ET. There was also a significant increase in ongoing pregnancy, chemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, and implantation rates, while the miscarriage rate decreased after PRP infusion.

Conclusions
Intrauterine PRP infusion improved ongoing pregnancy, chemical pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, and implantation rates, in addition to EMT and pattern on the days of ovum pick-up and ET, while the miscarriage rate significantly decreased.
