Résumé
To what extent do endocrine, immunological, gene expression and histological markers of endometrial receptivity correlate? Between November 2017 and September 2019, 121 women referred to a University Hospitals Fertility Clinic consented to inclusion in this cohort study. The women underwent timed endometrial biopsy followed by blood samples in a hormone-substituted cycle. Of these, 37 women had just started IVF treatment, and the remaining 84 had experienced recurrent implantation failure following IVF/ICSI. The hormone-substituted cycle consisted of initiation with oral oestradiol followed by addition of vaginal progesterone treatment for five full days. Endometrial biopsies were subject to histological examination, immune cell markers by immunohistochemistry (CD56 CD56 CD56
