Echographic examination allows correlations between crown-rump length and gestational age. In this study the embryonic and early fetal growth after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer was evaluated by ultrasound (U.S.) marks. 97 measurements in 54 pregnancies between day 39 and 80 after successful fertilization has been performed. Early fetal growth retardation was detected by U.S. when compared to the Robinson curve for normal pregnancy and confirmed after correction for the instrument error. This delay of 3, 3.5 days disappears around the 13 week of pregnancy and is not related to the baby weight at birth. An implantation delay may explain this difference in growth rate between normal and after F.I.V. and E.T. pregnancies.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011247	Pregnancy	The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.	Gestation,Pregnancies
D004624	Embryo Transfer	The transfer of mammalian embryos from an in vivo or in vitro environment to a suitable host to improve pregnancy or gestational outcome in human or animal. In human fertility treatment programs, preimplantation embryos ranging from the 4-cell stage to the blastocyst stage are transferred to the uterine cavity between 3-5 days after FERTILIZATION IN VITRO.

D005865	Gestational Age	The age of the conceptus, beginning from the time of FERTILIZATION. In clinical obstetrics, the gestational age is often estimated from the onset of the last MENSTRUATION which is about 2 weeks before OVULATION and fertilization. It is also estimated to begin from fertilization, estrus, coitus, or artificial insemination.

D016216	Ultrasonography, Prenatal	The visualization of tissues during pregnancy through recording of the echoes of ultrasonic waves directed into the body. The procedure may be applied with reference to the mother or the fetus and with reference to organs or the detection of maternal or fetal disease.
