NCT ID NCT05555121
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving a higher dose of the progesterone supplement Endometrin to women with low blood levels on the day of embryo transfer can improve pregnancy rates and lower miscarriage risk. About 150 women aged 18-42 undergoing frozen embryo transfer will be split into groups based on their progesterone levels. The goal is to see if personalized dosing leads to better outcomes.
