Retrograde tubal embryo transfer in natural cycle in-vitro fertilization

A Kumar, P Benny, EA Lenton and ID Cooke
Sheffield Fertility Centre, UK.

Two modes of embryo transfer, uterine and tubal, were compared following natural cycle in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Only patients with patent Fallopian tubes were included in the study. Tubal embryo transfer was performed by retrograde tubal cannulation without analgesia on an outpatient basis. Tubal transfer conferred no benefit compared with uterine transfer in male factor infertility with positive fertilization (pregnancy rates of 15.8% in both groups). Although tubal embryo transfer in the patients with unexplained infertility improved the pregnancy rates from 7.8% in uterine transfer (5/64) to 17.6% in the tubal transfer group (13/74), this improvement was not statistically significant.
