Simple fluid test may predict healthy embryos in IVF
NCT ID NCT05837325
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether levels of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in the fluid around a woman's eggs can predict if an embryo has the right number of chromosomes. Researchers will collect fluid from one follicle in each ovary during egg retrieval in 300 women undergoing IVF. They will then compare AMH levels to the genetic health of the resulting embryos. If a link is found, it might offer a less invasive way to choose the best embryos for transfer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors choose the healthiest embryos for IVF without needing genetic testing, potentially improving pregnancy success rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The link between AMH and embryo genetics may not be strong enough to change practice, and results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * At least one follicle from each ovary at day of trigger * Age from 18 to 40 years old * Normal menstrual cycle of 25-35 days * Poor, normal and high response will be included * First follicle punctured from each ovary will be consider for inclusion: if the COC (Cumulus Oocyte Complex) is present in clear FF (Follicular fluid), the FF will be collected separately for further analysis and the oocyte included in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Very hematic follicular fluid * If the COC is not found in the follicular fluid * Azoospermia * Known chromosomal abnormalities * Severe OAT (Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia)
