This compels the immune system to exert more effort at the interface between the uterus and the remainder of the body. This setting has maintained interest in peri-transfer glucocorticoid treatment as a possible approach to modify endometrial immunity and enhance implantation. Nevertheless, the data for this procedure are disjointed and mostly derive from investigations on autologous in vitro fertilisation. This narrative review consolidates contemporary evidence on endometrial immunology in oocyte donation cycles, analysing the mechanistic basis, clinical results, and constraints related to peri-implantation glucocorticoid therapy. Outcomes from randomised studies in autologous cycles consistently demonstrate that there is no advantage in live birth rates, but the claimed improvements in clinical pregnancy rates are from heterogeneous and low-quality data. Limited research exists on people who have received oocyte donations. The majority are diminutive and non-random, often integrating glucocorticoids with other therapies such as antibiotics, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, or endometrial damage. These designs inhibit the dissociation of the independent impact of glucocorticoids. Recent comprehensive randomised studies on recurrent implantation failure further demonstrate the lack of advantages in live births and highlight possible safety issues. The current data do not support the usual use of peri-transfer glucocorticoids in oocyte donation for in vitro fertilisation; nevertheless, short-term, low-dose treatment may be justified in meticulously chosen immunological profiles. There is an urgent need for rigorously designed randomised studies focused only on oocyte-donation recipients to elucidate the therapeutic effectiveness, safety, and suitable clinical context for glucocorticoid treatment in this expanding patient demographic.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27031217","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,26]],"date-time":"2026-01-26T10:24:36Z","timestamp":1769423076000},"page":"1217","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Peri-Transfer
