NCT02306395

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether edometrial local injury improves the outcome of embryo transfer,and to find out more evidence about the time of trauma,the way of intervention,and the possible mechanism.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • implantation rate

    When serum HCG is continuously more than 100mIU/ml and gestational sac is detected by ultrasound,it is considered as implantation.

    3 months after intervention

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • the change of three-dimensional ultrasound of uterine cavity before and after intervention

    in implantation window period(12-14 days)

  • clinical pregnancy rate

    an expected average of 7 week after pregnancy

  • live birth rate

    follow-up for one year after pregnancy

  • the rate of birth defects

    follow-up for one year after pregnancy

  • the expression changes of endometrial inflammatory factors

    endometrial sampling after local injury ,in the first 3-5 days after menstrual period

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Endometrial local injury

EXPERIMENTAL

Endometrial local injury is carried in the first 3-5 days after menstrual period at the same time of hysteroscopy.

Procedure: Endometrial local injury

The blank group

NO INTERVENTION

Any processing does not carry on the endometrium in the first 3-5 days after menstrual period except hysteroscopy.

Interventions

The way of intervention is to scratch the uterine cavity two cycles by a small spatula in the first 3-5 days after menstrual period.

Endometrial local injury
