EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will have an endometrial injury done on purpose, between 18-24 days prior to IVF cycle with a transfer catheter on the surgery outpatient department. Endometrial Injury * Done between 18-24 days prior to embryo transfer cycle. * Using transfer catheter. * Introduction of the same to the uterine fundus. * Systematic scrapping of the four uterine walls, lengthwise. * Performed by a skilled doctor. * Subsequent ultrasound control

Procedure: scratching
