Could a shot of your own blood boost fertility?

NCT ID NCT03937661

First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study investigates whether injecting a woman's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into her ovaries can improve egg production and hormone levels. It includes women aged 40 and older who have a poor response to standard fertility treatments. Participants receive either PRP or a placebo injection, and researchers track egg counts, hormone changes, and pregnancy rates over several months.

Active substance
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a way to improve fertility outcomes for women with poor ovarian response, potentially increasing the number of eggs retrieved and pregnancy rates.
What could go wrong
This is an early-to-mid-stage trial with a moderate number of participants. The treatment may not improve egg yield or pregnancy rates, and there is a small risk of infection or discomfort from the injection procedure.
