Summary
Heparin also has the ability to bind with and modulate a wide variety of proteins, which can
influence a number of physiological processes involved in implantation & trophoblastic
development. These processes include adhesion of the blastocyst to the endometrial surface &
trophoblastic differentiation & invasion.
A recent Cochrane review hinted towards research to study the possible effects of the local
(uterine), & NOT SYSTEMIC application of heparin during Assisted reproductive technology
(ART). Based on the above evidence the investigators hypothesize that low molecular weight
heparin given intrauterine at mock embryo transfer after oocyte pick up will help improve
pregnancy rates in patients undergoing ART.
