FSH blood tests during IVF could personalize doses
NCT ID NCT06572930
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether tracking FSH levels during ovarian stimulation can help predict how many eggs a woman will produce. Researchers will monitor 150 women undergoing IVF to find the ideal FSH range for better outcomes. The goal is to tailor hormone doses to each patient, potentially making treatment more effective and safer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Gonal-f (gonadotropin)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors personalize FSH doses during IVF, potentially improving egg retrieval and reducing side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to a clear dosing guideline, and results may not apply to all patients.
