  1. aEndometrial pattern was classified as A (a triple-line pattern), B (an intermediate isoechogenic pattern) and pattern C (homogenous hyperechogenic pattern)
  2. NC, natural cycle; HRT, hormone replacement cycle; FET, frozen embryo transfer; IVF-ET, in vitro fertilization embryo transfer; ET, endometrium thickness; P, progesterone
