Pulsatile FSH study for women with obesity or low ovarian reserve
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to give a fertility hormone (FSH) in pulses through a small tube to see if it helps women with obesity or low egg reserve have better egg development with fewer health risks. It may improve fertility treatment outcomes for these women.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a woman who has been trying to get pregnant for at least 6 months without success.
- You must be either obese (BMI 30-40) with normal egg reserve, or not obese (BMI less than 30) with low egg reserve.
- Your weight should be stable (no more than 1 lb loss per week for the last month).
- You need regular menstrual cycles (25-40 days long) and confirmed ovulation.
- Your partner (or sperm donor) must have adequate sperm count (above 14 million per ml).
- You must have at least one open fallopian tube and a normal uterine cavity (checked by imaging).
- You must be willing to postpone pregnancy for the first study cycle and accept a small indwelling catheter (a tube) for the treatment.

This trial tests a new treatment using your own fat cells to improve ovarian function in women with low egg reserve. It aims to see if this can help with fertility.
This study looks at how ovarian reserve (a fertility-related marker) changes in women after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery versus women with obesity who are not planning surgery. It may help doctors better understand fertility timing and risks around weight-loss treatment.
This trial tests whether adding growth hormone and DHEA to your IVF medications can help women with low ovarian reserve get more eggs and improve pregnancy chances. It may be an option if you are over 40, have had few eggs before, or have low egg count markers.
This trial tests a new technique called multi-site cortical puncture (a gentle procedure on the ovary) for women with low egg supply (diminished ovarian reserve) who are doing IVF. The aim is to see if this approach can improve the number of eggs retrieved in two cycles done a few months apart.
This trial tests whether adding a personalized amount of “LH” during IVF hormone stimulation can help your ovaries respond better. It may be useful if you’ve had a weaker IVF response before and fit specific age and egg-quality markers.
This trial tests a fertility drug called follitropin delta for women undergoing IVF. It checks if using this drug with a specific hormone-lowering protocol helps produce eggs for fertilisation.
