Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparing the two methods of embryo transfer; under guidance of transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound.
Design
The present study is a clinical trial study. 90 women candidates for IVF will enter the study using available sampling method and will be randomly divided into two groups with equal numbers.
Settings and conduct
In both groups of patients, vagina will be lubricated with 10 cc of lubricated gel and, depending on the operator's discretion, two SIVF catheter or Edwards-Wallace catheters will be used. To perform sonography, a Honda device made in China with H-S2000 probe will be used for abdominal ultrasound and H-S2100 probe will be used for vaginal ultrasound. Patient pain will be recorded in checklists during and after the procedure. After the study, the doctor will be asked how difficult it is to perform the procedure and the three-dimensional vision in the two methods studied, and it will be recorded in the questionnaire. Also, the process time will be recorded by a stopwatch.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: women between ages of 18 and 40, candidate for the embryo transfer. Exclusion criteria: obesity (BMI above 35), anatomical problems of uterus, and patients' dissatisfaction to participate in study.
Intervention groups
First group: transvaginal ultrasound. Second group: transabdominal ultrasound.
Main outcome variables
Pain rate, Ultrasound imaging of physician, Duration of procedure, Successful pregnancy

Randomization description
In this study, 90 women candidates for IVF will be included in the study by available sampling method. Using simple randomization method and individual unit, division of people into two groups will be done by Research Randomizer software, version 3.0 and random allocation with a ratio of 1: 1. In this software, a number will be assigned to each person entered in the study, and the software will randomly separate the numbers in two lists with a ratio of 1: 1.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Pain severity
Timepoint
During the ultrasound, At the end of the ultrasound
Method of measurement
Number one as the least pain and number ten as the most pain. Measuring of the variable will be done using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale method. In this method, the person rates their pain using a scale of 0 to 10. Zero means painless and 10 means the worst pain situation.

2

Description
Ultrasonic visualization of the doctor
Timepoint
At the end of the ultrasound
Method of measurement
Appropriate / inappropriate. This variable will be done by asking the doctor at the end of the ultrasound. In this way, the degree of difficulty and three-dimensional vision of the doctor using this method will be recorded based on the physician's opinion.

3

Description
Processing time
Timepoint
At the end of the ultrasound
Method of measurement
Second. The duration of the ultrasound at the end of the work will be recorded using a stopwatch in according to seconds.

4

Description
Successful pregnancy
Timepoint
It will be done 4 weeks after embryo transfer.
Method of measurement
Yes/No. Successful pregnancy will be recorded using beta-HCG measurement.

Secondary outcomes

empty

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: transfer of the fetus to the uterus under the guidance of abdominal ultrasound. In this group, embryo transfer will take place on days 2 or 3, because pregnancy and the rate of implantation are higher on these days. Initially, the vaginal will be impregnated with 10 cc of lubricating gel, and two SIVF catheters or Edwards-Wallace catheters will be used, depending on the operator's discretion. A rigid external transmission catheter in the cervical canal will also be studied. In this group, the bladder should be full. Honda device made in China with H-S2000 probe will be used for ultrasound.
