Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Effect of intralipid supplementation during IVF in women with two or more IVF/ICSI failure and increased uterine NK(uNK) cell percentage on reproductive outcome in terms of implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate and ongoing pregnancy rateTimepoint: First trimester at 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Reference range of uNK and peripheral blood NK(pNK) cell percentage from fertile women 2.Correlation between pNK and uNk cell levels in samples taken simultaneously in fertile women as well as women with previous two or more failed IVF/ICSITimepoint: prior to IVF
