Infertility is a common issue faced by many couples throughout the United States. There are multiple fertility treatment options, including in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). Additionally, methods such as endometrial scratch (a modified endometrial biopsy) have been postulated to increase success rate. This prospective, randomized control trial will assess whether performing an endometrial scratch improves cycle outcomes and decreases time to pregnancy following IUI. Each patient will be randomly assigned to receive either an endometrial scratch or undergo a sham procedure (speculum insertion but no scratch) during the menstrual phase of the IUI cycle.
Patients undergoing treatment with intrauterine insemination (IUI) will be randomized to receive an endometrial scratch or sham procedure during the menstrual phase of the treatment cycle.
