abstract = {Administration of growth hormone (GH) during ovarian stimulation has shown beneficial
effects on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. It is generally believed that this improvement
is due to the stimulating effect of GH on oocyte quality. However, studies are emerging
that show possible positive effect of GH administration on endometrial receptivity,
thus suggesting an additional potential benefit at the level of the uterus, especially
among women with recurrent implantation failure, thin endometrium, and older normal
responders. This review summarizes recent data on GH co-treatment effects on
endometrium and endometrial receptivity among infertile women undergoing IVF, and
proposes possible mechanisms of GH actions in the endometrium.},
