Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study proposes to evaluate the efficiency of an endometrial injury in the first controlled ovarian hyperstimulation cycle on the rate of clinical pregnancy, in assisted reproductive technologies. This study will compare 2 groups of patients. The first group will undergo biopsy of the endometrium before the IVF; the second will undergo the IVF alone. Inclusions will be conducted on 33 months; the patients will be in the study for a period of 36 weeks. The total duration of the study is 39 months

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
group 1 : IVF with biopsy
fresh IVF-embryo transfer treated with long protocol or antagonist protocol for the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation plus local injury to the endometrium of patients one menstrual cycle before the IVF
biopsy
The endometrium biopsy will be done as the same time as the GnRH treatment. The biopsy is realised with a Pipette de Cornier® (CDD international, PROMIDED France) following the laboratory protocol:
* Apply antiseptic solution (povidone-iodine, Dakin®) on the cervix and vagina. In most cases, using Pozzi forceps is not necessary.
* Insert carefully the pipelle de Cornier® in the uterus through the cervix.
* Withdraw the piston to create a negative pression
* Move the pipelle de cornier® in and out while twisting. Take care to no remove the pipelle form the uterus (suction lost). Twist the pipelle de Cornier® to cover an angle of 360°. Make several "in and out" cycle in order to collect a complete sample of the endometrium.
* Withdraw the pipelle de Cornier® when filled with tissue
* Reinsert internal piston to deposit sample in cup filled with a fixative.
group 2
fresh IVF-embryo transfer treated with long protocol or antagonist protocol for the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation alone
IVF
fresh IVF-embryo transfer treated with long protocol for the controlled ovarian hyperstimulation
