This study looked at how different doses and ways of giving progesterone (vaginal, under the skin, or muscle injection) affect the womb lining in women preparing for embryo transfer. 109 healthy women aged 18-35 took part. The goal was to see which method works best for the womb,…

This early-stage study tested the safety and tolerability of a new drug called HS-10518 in 60 healthy women aged 18-40 in China. Participants received either the drug or a placebo, and researchers monitored for side effects and how the drug moved through the body. The goal was to…

This study explored whether the level of TSH (a thyroid hormone) in a woman's blood affects the success of ICSI, a type of fertility treatment. Researchers observed 180 women undergoing ICSI to see if TSH levels were linked to key outcomes like number of eggs retrieved, fertiliza…
