Protocol summary

Study aim
Increased pregnancy and childbirth lead to the birth of a live baby in patients with recurrent implantation failure.
Design
Clinical trial with control group, with parallel groups, single blind, randomized, on 60 patients. The rand function of the Excel software was used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
A questionnaire is completed for patients who meet the criteria for admission to the study and after obtaining informed consent. According to the random list, patients are divided into intervention and control groups. In both groups, after baseline ultrasound on the second day of the cycle, the ART cycle begins . In interventional patients on days 9 and 12 of intrauterine injection of dexamethasone 600µL (5 mg / ml ) The fetus is transferred slowly with a fetal catheter. In patients with the control group, the same normal volume of sterile saline is prescribed.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
This study is clinical trial of patients with recurrent idiopathic implantation failure. Patients with at least twice a history of ART and having a total of six transplanted grade one embryos if they have the criteria to enter the study after obtaining informed consent. Criteria for entering the study: • Minor age 40 years • Proper ovarian storage (AMH) above one • At least twice the previous ART by transferring at least six first-degree embryos • Healthy uterine cavity in ultrasound and hysteroscopy (absence of uterine anomaly, endometrial polyp, uterine myoma) • Absence of endocrinopathy and autoimmune and thrombophilic disease • Normal karyotype
Intervention groups
According to the random list, patients are divided into intervention and control groups.
Main outcome variables
Endometrial thickness, implantation, pregnancy (ßHCG-positive-clinical pregnancy), live birth, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy

Description
Pregnancy
Timepoint
According to the random list, patients are divided into intervention and control groups.In both groups, after basic ultrasound on the second day of the cycle, the ART cycle begins, and ovarian stimulation information is recorded for each patient. In patients in the 9 and 12 days of intramuscular injection of dexamethasone 600µL (5mg / ml) with a fetal transfer catheter, the intervention is performed slowly.In patients with the control group, the same normal volume of sterile saline is prescribed.Both groups are followed by transvaginal ultrasound while taking ART.When at least two follicles are seen, 10,000 HCG units are injected and 36 hours later the pancreas is transplanted under vaginal ultrasound. The ultrasound is performed two weeks later and the pregnancy sac is examined.
Method of measurement
Pregnancy test(ßHCG)
