IVF hormone showdown: does adding LH boost egg quality?

NCT ID NCT07348757

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at two common hormone treatments for women undergoing IVF: one using only FSH and another using both FSH and LH. All 202 participants also received dydrogesterone to control hormone surges. Researchers measured how many mature eggs were collected and how embryos developed. The goal was to see if adding LH makes a difference in these outcomes.

Active substance

recombinant FSH and recombinant LH (hormones used in IVF)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could help doctors choose the best hormone combination for IVF, potentially improving egg and embryo quality.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed study with 202 participants, so results may not apply to all women. Adding LH may not provide any benefit over FSH alone.
