Benefit of GnRH Agonist Before Frozen Embryo Transfer in Patients With Endometriosis and/or Adenomyosis

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Women suffering from endometriosis and/or adenomyosis may also suffer from infertility. GnRH agonist injection could improve implantation and therefore increase the pregnancy rate in these patients. This study was designed to evaluate effects of the additional of GnRH agonist (single or 2 doses) to the routine oestrogens and progestins use as support before Frozen Embryon Transfer as compared to oestrogens and progestins only.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Endometriosis reveals the presence of glands or endometrial stroma outside the uterus, responsible for pain and infertility. Adenomyosis illustrates an invagination of endometrial islets within the myometrium, leading to a disturbance of its contractile activity, also potentiated by local hyperestrogenism. These two pathologies are often associated, and express an alteration of the eutopic endometrium by pro-inflammatory markers responsible for a lower implantation rate. GnRH agonists are known to decrease these pro-inflammatory markers (cytochrome P450 and Cox 2 aromatase) in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis or adenomyosis. Patients will received 1 or 2 injection of GnRH delay agonist (Decapeptyl 3mg) approximately 1 month before the frozen embryo transfer.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Clinical pregnancy rate in both groups at last visit ultrasound | Clinical pregnancy will be defined by any cardiac activity detected during the ultrasound performed at the last visit. | 3 months after frozen embryon transfer | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Successful implantation rate on the number of patients included | The implantation rate will be evaluated by the number of successful implantations out of the total number of attempts. | 3 months after frozen embryon transfer | 
| Rates of miscarriages on the number of patients included | The miscarriage rate will be determined by the number of effective miscarriages over the number of successful implantations. | 3 months after frozen embryon transfer | 
| Side effects related to treatment with Decapeptyl 3 mg | Collection of side effects related to treatment with Decapeptyl 3 mg | 15 months |
