Tiny blood test could unlock IVF pregnancy dangers

NCT ID NCT07477340

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at a hormone called relaxin in women who get pregnant through IVF. Researchers want to see if relaxin levels differ between fresh and frozen embryo transfers, and if low levels are linked to pregnancy complications. 60 first-time mothers will give an extra blood sample early in pregnancy. The goal is to learn why frozen embryo transfers may carry higher risks of conditions like preeclampsia.

Active substance

Relaxin measurement (blood test)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could help explain why some IVF pregnancies have higher risks of complications like preeclampsia, and may guide safer embryo transfer methods.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early observational study (60 people) that only measures a hormone level. It won't directly change treatment or prove cause and effect.
