Ultrasound Guidance for Embryo Transfer

Transvaginal Versus Transabdominal Ultrasound Guided Embryo Transfer. Randomized Controlled Trial.

Randomized controlled study comparing the TVUS versus TAUS guidance during the procedure of embryo transfer.

The aim of this study was to Compare between transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound guided embryo transfer as regarding clinical pregnancy rate, patient comfort, time required for embryo transfer and endometrial visualization at time of embryo transfer.

Inclusion Criteria:

All patients undergoing autologous ICSI and frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Cases of sever ovarian hyperstimulation requiring embryo cryopreservation
2. Gestational surrogate cycles
3. Oocyte donation cycles
4. Very poor responders
5. Patients with inadequate visualization of the uterus by ultrasound.
6. Very difficult mock embryo transfer.
