Lipiodol before frozen embryo transfer (LIFE)
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a small amount of Lipiodol (a special oil used in X-ray dye) before a frozen embryo transfer improves the chance of pregnancy in women undergoing IVF. It is designed for women who will have all their embryos frozen first and who do not have fallopian tube or thyroid problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are a woman undergoing IVF or ICSI treatment.
- All your embryos will be frozen (day-3 or day-5) and you will have no more than 2 frozen embryos transferred.
- You are not allergic to iodine.
- You have no history of fallopian tube problems (like infections, surgeries, or endometriosis) and no evidence of tube issues on tests.
- You do not have thyroid disease or a history of it, and your TSH level is less than 2.5 mIU/mL.

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 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 trial compares two different hormone combinations (FSH alone vs FSH plus LH) used during IVF to stimulate the ovaries. The goal is to see which approach works better for people who need to freeze eggs or embryos before starting non-hormone sensitive cancer treatment.
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 trial tests whether giving extra LH hormone during an IVF cycle can improve outcomes for women who naturally have low LH levels. It may help your eggs develop better.
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.
