Implantation curettage

For many years, clinical studies have been accumulating that report an improvement in the implantation rate after minimal injury (tissue removal) of the uterine lining. This small injury to the uterine lining leads to a wound healing process without any symptoms, which in turn appears to promote successful implantation of the embryo in the subsequent treatment.

During implantation curettage, a small amount of tissue is removed from the uterine lining between the 15th and 21st day of the cycle before the planned IVF treatment using a thin catheter (similar to embryo transfer). The procedure takes about 5 minutes and is performed without anesthesia. It is important that you have a full bladder, so do not go to the toilet for at least an hour before the implantation curettage! After the procedure, there may be slight bleeding, occasional pain or, very rarely, inflammation.
