Does sex affect frozen embryo transfer success?
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether having sex (vaginal intercourse) around the time of a frozen embryo transfer affects the chance of pregnancy. If you are a woman under 42 with a good quality embryo and can have vaginal intercourse, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 41 years old.
- Your BMI is between 18 and 35.
- You are having one of your first four frozen embryo transfers.
- The embryo being transferred is good quality (either a cleavage stage or blastocyst).
- You are willing and able to have vaginal intercourse around the time of transfer.
- You do not have a blocked fallopian tube (hydrosalpinx) or an unusual uterus shape.

This study tests if transferring a small amount of culture medium into the uterus before placing a frozen embryo can improve the chance of pregnancy in people who have had a failed embryo transfer before.
This study looks at whether having a corpus luteum (the structure left after an egg is released) affects pregnancy outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles. It aims to help doctors choose the best way to prepare the body for embryo transfer.
This study measures changes in your blood immune markers during frozen embryo transfer when the embryo is chromosomally normal. It may help clinics understand what blood immune patterns relate to successful pregnancy in natural or hormone-prepared cycles.
This study compares different methods for transferring frozen embryos into the uterus during IVF. It aims to find the best technique to improve pregnancy chances.
This trial studies how the immune system in the uterus may impact whether a genetically normal frozen embryo implants successfully. It aims to help improve success rates for women undergoing IVF.
This study looks at how directly warming a frozen embryo (without extra laboratory steps) affects pregnancy outcomes when transferring a single embryo. If you are undergoing a frozen embryo transfer with a good-quality embryo, this trial may help improve your chances of success.
