Abstract Rationale: In assisted reproductive technology, a persistently thin endometrial lining represents a huge challenge during frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. Patient concerns: Three patients who had a persistently thin endometrial lining despite the use of several medical agents known to improve endometrial lining thickness. Diagnoses: Infertility undergoing FET cycles. Interventions: A combination of transdermal and intravaginal ozone therapy along with Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy. Outcomes: Ozone with PEMF, both of which are known to have vasodilatatory, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant actions, were successful in improving the thickness of the endometrial lining in all 3 patients. Two out of 3 patients became pregnant following single embryo transfer. Lessons: Ozone with PEMF constitute a novel experimental approach for women with persistently thin endometrial lining undergoing FET. This novel approach needs validation by large well-designed studies.
