Summary
Intrauterine injection of hCG around the time of implantation may increase endometrial Treg
cells and improve implantation. It has been demonstrated that regulatory T cells expand
during pregnancy. hCG was found to be secreted by the embryo immediately after fertilization
and has chemoattractant properties to Treg cells.
