This is a prospective randomized open-label trial. Women scheduled for their first or second IVF/ICSI cycle and with no abnormality detected in transvaginal ultrasound examination, were randomized to two groups. In the first group (group I) 31 patients underwent hysteroscopy examination before IVF cycle while in the second group (group II) 37 patients underwent direct cycle without previous hysteroscopy. Then IVF cycle was performed with habitual protocol. Beta Corionic Gonatropic hormone (BhCG) test two weeks after embryo transfer was done. If test was positive, patients were followed up for detection pregnancy by transvaginal ultrasound two weeks later. Another transvaginal ultrasound at 12 weeks of gestation was done to confirm ongoing pregnancy. Biochemical pregnancy, implantation, on-going pregnancy and livebirth rates were compared in both groups.~Miscarriage, complications rate and hysteroscopy tolerability were also analyzed.
