    Abstract:
    Endometrial data, plasma progesterone levels and the outcome of pregnancy were analyzed in 22 infertility patients from whom endometrial biopsies had been inadvertently taken in early pregnancy. We found 22.7% (5 cases) of defective endometria in association with normal plasma progesterone levels (available in four patients). Daily plasma progesterone during the first 21st postovulatory days in the cycle of conception is reported in one of our patients. Fourteen of the 22 women delivered normal infants at term, 1 woman had a hydatidiform mole and 7 women aborted (31.8%). The relevance of endometrial biopsy in the cycle of conception and its influence on the outcome of pregnancy are discussed.
