Could a shot of your own blood help your ovaries produce more eggs?
NCT ID NCT05181748
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial investigates whether infusing a woman's own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into her ovaries can improve egg production and hormone levels in those with poor ovarian response to fertility treatments. The study involves 100 women who have had difficulty producing enough eggs during IVF. Researchers will measure the number of eggs retrieved and changes in key fertility hormones after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could help women with poor ovarian response produce more eggs during fertility treatment, potentially increasing their chances of pregnancy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with 100 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The procedure is experimental, and there is no guarantee it will improve pregnancy rates or lead to a live birth.
