Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial will be performed on 86 patients with recurrent implantation failure at Dar El Teb infertility and IVF center . Patients were randomized on a 1 to 1 ratio to platelets rich plasma ( PRP) group and control group. Ovarian stimulation was achieved using highly purified urinary FSH starting on the 2 nd or 3rd day of the cycle . GnRH agonist ( cetrotide) 0.25 mg SC/ day was administered when the leading follicle reached 14mm in mean diameter and a dose of 10000 IU of HCG was administered when 3 or more follicles were 18mm or more in diameter.. Oocyte retrieval was done under ultrasound guidance and in the PRP group 1 ml of platelets rich plasma was infused inside the uterus while performing the mock embryo transfer while in the control group the mock embryo transfer was performed without injecting anything inside the uterus . All patients received progesterone supplementation and embryo transfer was performed 3 to 5 days after oocyte retrieval. BHCG level was done 14 days after Embryo transfer and transvaginal ultrasound was done to confirm pregnancy 4 weeks later.
