Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the increasing in endometrial thickening after the intrauterine infusion of 0,5-1 ml of autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and the implantation rate in women with thin endometrium undergoing Embryo-transfer, in order to propose a novel therapeutic approach for women with an endometrium \< 7 mm unresponsive to standard treatments.
