Name Time Method <br> Main Objective: We aimed to investigate whether the endometrial flushing with Lipiodol enhances fertility.<br> We want to determine the anatomo-pathological, histochemical and transcriptional changes of the endometrium after Lipiodol bathing in a general population of healthy volunteers.<br><br> ;Secondary Objective: Not applicable;Primary end point(s): Anatomo-pathological, histochemical and transcriptional changes of the endometrium after Lipiodol bathing in a general population of healthy volunteers;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: All participants will be followed in two natural cycles. In each cycle an endometrial biopsy will be taken 7 days after the LH-surge. A wash out period of 3 months between the 2 biopsies will be respected.
