Blood thinners and baby hopes: new study investigates uterine health
NCT ID NCT07494877
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or heparin) can improve the uterine lining and pregnancy rates in women struggling with infertility. Researchers will use special ultrasound scans to measure the womb's thickness, blood flow, and movement in about 300 women aged 20 to 45. The study is purely observational, meaning doctors will prescribe treatments as usual, and the research team will simply track the results.

Who is studied
The study population consists of adult female patients, aged 20 to 45 years, who have been clinically diagnosed with infertility. These patients are seeking routine infertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer or monitored conception cycles, at Tangdu Hospital. The population includes patients who receive standard conventional treatment as well as those who are prescribed adjunctive anticoagulant therapy based on their routine clinical care indications.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients aged 20 to 45 years. Clinically diagnosed with infertility and planning to undergo embryo transfer or monitored conception cycles. Patients who have complete baseline clinical data and are willing to undergo multimodal ultrasound evaluation of endometrial receptivity during the window of implantation. Voluntarily agreed to participate in this observational study and signed the informed consent form for data collection. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of congenital uterine malformations (e.g., septate uterus, bicornuate uterus, unicornuate uterus) that significantly alter the endometrial cavity. Presence of untreated severe intrauterine lesions, such as submucosal fibroids, severe intrauterine adhesions, or endometrial polyps that may mechanically interfere with implantation. Severe underlying systemic diseases, including but not limited to severe liver or kidney dysfunction, or malignant tumors. Known severe bleeding disorders or strict contraindications to anticoagulant medications (for patients in the routine clinical care setting). Patients who are unable to cooperate with the transvaginal multimodal ultrasound examination or complete the required follow-up for pregnancy outcomes.
