Summary

Pregnancy rate may be affected by multiple factors such as embryo transfer techniques. Even small differences in embryo transfer methods may affect pregnancy rates. There is an inconsistency about the effect of the removal of cervical discharge on embryo transfer outcomes. Some studies showed that cervical mucus removal before embryo transfer can increase pregnancy rate, however the others could not find any significant effect about the removal of cervical mucus on pregnancy or live birth rates. Given to the conflicting evidences, our study aimed to determine whether the cervical discharge removal has positive effect on pregnancy rate.
