Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Pregnancy
Biochemical and clinical Pregnancy Biochemical pregnancy will be determined by a positive pregnancy test performed 1week after a missed period and clinical pregnancy will be defined by the presence of a gestational sac using transvaginal ultrasound performed 6 weeks after a missed period.

Study Arms (1)
Group Undergoing Hysterosopy
EXPERIMENTALThis group will include 75 women with unexplained infertility. 5 mm rigid sheath Office hysteroscopy will be performed during the proliferative phaseof the menstrual cycle.
Interventions
Procedure: Hysteroscopy Office hysteroscopy will be performed during the proliferative phaseof the menstrual cycle. All OH (office hysteroscopy) procedures will be performed with a vaginoscopic approach without utilizing a speculum and applying traction to the cervix with a tenaculum. Antibiotic prophylaxis: None OH will be cancelled until after treatment of vaginal infection. Other Name: ROH: Routine Office Hysteroscopy Device: Hysteroscope The device used is a rigid hysteroscope (continuous flow, 30 degree forward oblique view) assembled in a 5-mm diameter diagnostic rigid sheath with an atraumatic tip (Karl Storz Endoscopy). Illumination: High intensity cold light source and fiberoptic cable Distention medium: solution of 0.9% normal saline with pressure at 100-120 mmHg
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- \. All women aged (20-35) years old. 2. Unexplained infertility
You may not qualify if:
- \. Female genital tract cancer, including cervical or uterine cancer 2. Active pelvic infection 3. Known uterine factor for infertility.
