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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
