Abstract:
A narrative review of endometrial receptivity in adenomyosis and/or endometriosis revealed that this parameter is difficult to assess in natural conception because both disorders alter natural fertility. Recent data emanating from assisted reproductive technology have allowed the study of endometrial receptivity in women affected by adenomyosis and endometriosis. This has upended our views on the effects of these 2 disorders on embryo implantation. Today, the very existence of altered receptivity in assisted reproductive technology is questioned. In this context, we now know that frozen euploid blastocyst transfers in estradiol and progesterone cycles have unaltered outcomes in both adenomyosis and endometriosis.

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...
Proliferative Phase
Notably, the stratum basale, the basal layer of the endometrium, including the basal parts of the uterine glands, remains unaffected by menstruation. Stem cells in this layer undergo mitosis, regenerating the stratum functionalis and thickening the...
Secretory Phase
Following ovulation, the corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine structure, produces progesterone and estrogens. These hormones stimulate the growth and coiling of endometrial...
