Uterine waves may make or break IVF success
NCT ID NCT07358468
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tracks 356 women undergoing frozen embryo transfer to see how different hormone preparations affect uterine contractions (called endometrial peristalsis) and pregnancy rates. Researchers will measure contractions at three key times and link them to pregnancy outcomes. The goal is to understand which preparation protocol creates the best environment for embryo implantation.
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 best hormone preparation to improve embryo implantation and pregnancy success in frozen embryo transfers.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. Results may not lead to immediate changes in practice.
