Fertility boost? study tests estradiol and guaifenesin alongside clomiphene
NCT ID NCT07398924
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding vaginal estradiol or oral guaifenesin to standard fertility treatment (clomiphene citrate) could improve pregnancy rates. 90 women with infertility were randomly assigned to one of three groups. The goal was to see if these add-ons helped with uterine lining and cervical mucus, which can be affected by clomiphene.
