This trial studies ways to lower the risk of pre-eclampsia (dangerous high blood pressure in pregnancy) in women who are having a first pregnancy through IVF/ICSI or who have PCOS. It’s aimed at people considered higher risk for pre-eclampsia.
This trial tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medication, can help women with preeclampsia stay pregnant longer before delivery. If you have been diagnosed with preeclampsia and your doctors are monitoring you without immediate delivery, this study might be an option.
This trial studies whether using specific blood-pressure medicines can help people with non-severe preeclampsia stay pregnant longer. It aims to improve outcomes by treating blood pressure early while monitoring you and the baby closely.
This study tests if metformin, a drug that helps control blood sugar, can improve the chance of a healthy live birth in women with prediabetes who are doing in vitro fertilization (IVF). It aims to see if treating prediabetes before and during early pregnancy leads to better outcomes.
This study tests whether taking metformin during pregnancy improves outcomes for people with gestational diabetes. It may help with pregnancy health and baby outcomes compared with the study’s other diabetes care plan.
