endometrial thickness measurements
Taxonomy: Technique Branch / Method. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.
Summary
Endometrial thickness measurement is a current clinical assay method used as a marker of the window of implantation and endometrial receptivity. The cited evidence indicates that, as a current test of the window of implantation, it does not consistently improve clinical outcomes measured by live birth rates.
Usefulness & Problems
Why this is useful
This assay is used clinically as a marker intended to assess the window of implantation. The supplied evidence supports its role as a current receptivity test but indicates limited demonstrated utility for improving live birth outcomes.
Problem solved
Endometrial thickness measurement is intended to help assess endometrial receptivity during the window of implantation. However, the cited literature states that the biological basis of current clinical markers or tests of the window of implantation is poor.

The supplied evidence identifies this tool as a clinical assay method and marker of the window of implantation. No practical details on measurement modality, timing, cutoff values, instrumentation, or sample handling are provided in the supplied evidence.
The cited review states that current tests of the window of implantation, including endometrial thickness measurements, do not consistently improve clinical outcomes as measured by live birth rates. It also states that the biological basis of current clinical markers or tests of the window of implantation is poor.
