New hormone protocol could make IVF cheaper and easier for women with low egg supply
NCT ID NCT05847283
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
