NCT ID NCT06684951
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether flushing the uterus with a low dose of the hormone hCG right after egg retrieval could improve pregnancy rates in women undergoing IVF. Researchers measured immune markers and blood flow in the uterus to see if the flush made the womb more receptive to an embryo. The trial involved 90 infertile women aged 18 to 40.
