NCT ID NCT05847283

First seen Dec 26, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study tests whether using the hormone dydrogesterone (taken as a pill) alongside standard fertility injections can help women with low ovarian reserve collect more eggs for IVF. The trial compares this approach to the usual GnRH antagonist protocol. Researchers will track pregnancy rates after the first embryo transfer in 730 women aged 18-37.
