NCT01798862

Brief Summary

Study Arms (2)

Endometrial injury by hysteroscopy or pipelle sapling

EXPERIMENTAL

Endometrial Sampling by pipelle or hysteroscopy performed once between 6th to 10th day in the cycle prior to the fresh IVF/ ICSI cycle.

Procedure: Endometrial injury by hysteroscopy or pipelle sampling

COH for IVF without hysteroscopy or pipelle sampling

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Procedure: COH for IVF Both GnRH agonists (long, starting at day 2 or 21) with triptorelin acetate 0.1 mg (Gonapeptyl daily) and antagonists with ganirelix 0.25mg (Orgalutran) or cetrorelix 0.25mg (Cetrotide) protocols will be used; for ovarian stimulation both recombinant FSH ( Puregon) and human menopausal gonadotrophin ( Menopur) will be used. Ovarian response will be monitored by ultrasonography, oocyte retrieval will be performed 36-38 hours after the Hcg triggering and for luteal phase support 600 mg progesterone tablets ( Utrogestan) will be applied.

Procedure: Proceed to COH directly
