NCT ID NCT07676682

First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates whether having a full bladder during intrauterine insemination (IUI) can improve pregnancy rates. The idea is that a full bladder straightens the uterus, making it easier to place sperm correctly using ultrasound guidance. The trial compares this approach to the standard IUI procedure with an empty bladder. Participants are women aged 18–39 with infertility lasting at least a year.
