Abstract Objective: To assess the awareness of Jordanian IVF clinicians of the Maximum Implantation Potential Point ( MIPP) for patients with recurrent implantation failure. Study Design: We carried out a closed-envelop anonymous survey of all Jordanian IVF clinicians to assess their awareness of the MIPP and to evaluate if we need to review our practice regarding embryo transfer techniques. Results: We sent a 70 closed-envelops and 42 responded to our request and completed the survey.16 only placed a cross on the sagittal painting of the uterus and 20 doctors placed a cross on the transverse plane painting of the uterus and 6 did indicate placement point on both planes. The average distance from the to the placement point was 1.4 cm with a standard deviation of 0.2.

Conclusion: Our survey shows that the vast majority of Jordanian IVF clinicians are aware of the maximum implantation point (MIPP) and they tailored their embryo transfer according to each individual patient to maximize the patient pregnancy chances.
