Objective: To investigate the impact of different timing of hysteroscopy on the subsequent clinical pregnancy outcomes of patients with recurrent embryo transfer failure undergoing in vitro fertilization - embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methods: The clinical data of 206 patients who underwent IVF-ET assisted pregnancy treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Department of Dongguan Kanghua Hospital from January 2025 to October 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into three groups based on the timing of hysteroscopy: Group A (examined before embryo transfer, n = 82), Group B (examined after one failed embryo transfer, n = 70), and Group C (examined after two failed embryo transfers, n = 54). The clinical pregnancy rates of the subsequent IVF-ET cycles of the three groups were compared. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in baseline age, duration of infertility, BMI, AMH, etc. among the three groups (P > 0.05). The overall clinical pregnancy rate of the population was 53.59% (97/206), with the pregnancy rates in Group A being 72.0% (59/82), in Group B 35.7% (25/70), and in Group C 24.1% (13/54). The differences among the groups were statistically significant (P < 0.001). Immunobright staining positive study subjects accounted for 86.27% (176/206), and their distribution among the groups was balanced, without changing the main conclusion. Conclusion: For patients undergoing IVF-ET assisted pregnancy treatment, performing hysteroscopy and treating abnormalities before embryo transfer may be associated with an increased subsequent clinical pregnancy rate; delaying the examination until one or two failed embryo transfers may significantly reduce the pregnancy benefit. It suggests the necessity of routine hysteroscopy assessment before embryo transfer.
