Lipiodol treatment before frozen embryo transfer
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a contrast agent called Lipiodol before a frozen embryo transfer improves the chance of pregnancy. You would have a procedure where Lipiodol is flushed through your fallopian tubes, then later your frozen embryo is transferred.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your TSH (thyroid hormone) level is below 2.5
- You live permanently in Vietnam
- You are willing to sign a consent form
- You are not allergic to iodine
- You have not had your fallopian tubes removed or tied, and you do not have fallopian tube disease or high risk for it (like past chlamydia, pelvic infection, or current endometriosis)
- You do not have untreated growths in the uterus (like polyps or fibroids) that could affect IVF
- You have no history of thyroid disease or treatment for thyroid disease

This study tests whether using a hormone medication (GnRH agonist) before a frozen embryo transfer helps women with adenomyosis. If you have adenomyosis and are planning a frozen embryo transfer, this trial will help compare results with or without the pre-treatment.
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 whether giving hCG before transferring a thawed embryo can improve success. It is for women who have at least one frozen embryo of good quality and are planning a frozen embryo transfer.
This study tests if a medicine called letrozole can help prepare the lining of the womb for a frozen embryo transfer. It may be an option for women under 40 who have had limited previous IVF cycles.
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 Phase 3 study tests whether adding micronized progesterone during frozen embryo transfer cycles helps support embryo implantation and pregnancy. You may benefit if your care team is already preparing the uterus with hormone therapy for a blastocyst transfer.
