Can follicle size predict IVF success? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07331493
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the size and number of ovarian follicles (fluid-filled sacs containing eggs) on the day of the trigger shot affect how many eggs are retrieved during an IVF cycle. Researchers will measure follicles using ultrasound in 60 women aged 18-35 undergoing ICSI. The goal is to find a minimum follicle size that predicts successful egg retrieval, which could help doctors time the procedure better.
