Does cervical mucus removal before embryo transfer have an effect on cycle outcome in women undergoing ICSI?: A randomised controlled trial.
What's New
Cervical mucus removal before embryo transfer did not significantly affect clinical pregnancy rates in women undergoing ICSI cycles.
Detailed Summary
A randomized controlled trial of 183 patients undergoing ICSI compared cervical mucus removal via cotton swab, removal via Pipella cannula, and no removal before embryo transfer. All three groups demonstrated similar clinical pregnancy rates, suggesting the practice did not confer a measurable benefit.
Study Population
Women undergoing ICSI with at least one good quality embryo and adequate endometrial thickness (n=183)
