NCT ID NCT07681115
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a woman's vitamin D level on the day of a frozen embryo transfer affects her chances of getting pregnant and having a baby. Researchers in the UAE will follow 126 women aged 18–40 undergoing frozen embryo transfer. The goal is to see if higher vitamin D levels are linked to better pregnancy outcomes, which could help guide future fertility care.
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 a clear link is found, it could lead to routine vitamin D screening and supplementation before frozen embryo transfer to improve pregnancy outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Other factors may influence results, and findings may not apply to all populations.
