Endometrial Scratching in IVF: Success Rates and Who Needs It

For couples undergoing IVF, experiencing repeated embryo transfer failure can be emotionally difficult. Even when high-quality blastocysts are transferred into a normal-looking uterine lining, implantation does not always occur. If you have faced unsuccessful cycles, understanding how endometrial scratching IVF procedures stimulate uterine receptivity is a key step in optimizing your next transfer.

This guide details the science behind local endometrial injury, lists the patients who benefit from it, and explains the clinical timeline required.

Implantation Stimulation and Timing

Endometrial scratching is an outpatient biopsy performing a local scratch to release cytokines, helping implantation. It is ideal for thin linings (read details in our improve thin endometrium guide) and is often combined with ERA testing. Read about timing in our ERA test guide.
