Egg retrieval timing in IVF: late vs. early start
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares starting IVF stimulation in the late luteal phase versus the usual early follicular phase to see if it improves egg retrieval. It's for women with regular cycles who are new to IVF.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have regular menstrual cycles
- You are 40 years old or younger
- You have had fewer than one prior IVF attempt (meaning 0 prior attempts)
- You have no history of low response to fertility medications
- You have not had ovarian surgery
- You do not have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at “biomarkers” (test signals in your blood or cycle data) to better judge how ready the womb lining is during IVF. It compares two types of IVF hormone setups to see which approach best matches endometrial receptivity and supports successful embryo transfer.
This study tests an IVF approach that changes how ovarian stimulation is started, helps retrieve eggs more effectively, and may delay embryo transfer. It may help people who have many small eggs (called antral follicles) and higher AMH levels, which can affect how IVF works.
This trial tests a new way to stimulate ovaries after ovulation using a single injection of Elonva, compared to a standard method starting on day 2 of the menstrual cycle. It aims to see which approach leads to more mature eggs for IVF or ICSI.
This study tests whether changing the timing of hormones during ovarian stimulation can improve IVF results for people with certain ovarian reserve levels. It may help find a stimulation approach that works better for first-time (or second) IVF cycles.
This study compares two different timings for a lab procedure called assisted hatching (making a small opening in the embryo's outer shell) to see if one helps more embryos implant. You may be eligible if you're doing IVF with a frozen embryo transfer of a single screened embryo.
This trial tests whether doing two shorter rounds of hormone stimulation in one menstrual cycle (dual ovarian stimulation) leads to more live births than the usual two separate stimulation cycles for women who have a low egg reserve. The goal is to find a better way to help women who have had limited success with IVF.
