Measuring follicle volume could improve IVF timing for poor responders

NCT ID NCT06839274

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

Summary

This study looks at 100 women with very low ovarian reserve (fewer than 4 follicles) undergoing IVF. Researchers will measure the volume of each follicle just before the trigger shot that matures the eggs. They want to see if follicle volume is a better predictor of egg maturity than size alone. The goal is to find the best timing for egg retrieval to avoid premature ovulation and improve the chance of getting a usable embryo.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help doctors time the egg retrieval trigger more precisely, potentially increasing the chance of getting mature eggs and a healthy embryo in women with low ovarian reserve.

What could go wrong

This is a small observational study (100 participants) that only looks for a correlation, not a proven treatment. The findings may not apply to all patients or lead to better pregnancy rates.
