Study on how father's age affects embryo growth
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the father's age might affect the growth of embryos in the lab. It is for couples doing their first IVF cycle, planning to test embryos for genetic health before freezing them, and then transferring one healthy embryo.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- This must be your first IVF cycle.
- You plan to test your embryos for chromosome health (PGT-A) and have only one embryo transferred at a time.
- The female partner is between 18 and 42 years old.
- Your ovarian reserve tests (AMH, AFC, FSH) must be within certain normal ranges.
- At least 4 mature eggs must be collected during egg retrieval.
- The male partner must not have very low sperm count or certain genetic conditions.

This study examines how DNA damage in sperm affects fertility treatment outcomes in couples using ICSI (a procedure that injects a single sperm into an egg). By measuring sperm DNA quality, researchers hope to better predict which couples will have success with their fertility treatment.
This study tests a new computer algorithm (SiDTM v2.0) that helps embryologists pick the best sperm to use during ICSI, a fertility treatment where a single sperm is injected into an egg. It may improve success rates for women over 35 with at least 4 mature eggs retrieved.
This trial compares two ways of preparing sperm to see which leads to healthier embryos. It may help couples where the female partner is 18–34 years old and the male has enough sperm.
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 study tests whether a special device that selects the most active sperm can improve IVF success rates when the male partner is 40 or older. The goal is to see if this sorting technique, combined with genetic testing of embryos, leads to healthier pregnancies.
This study looks at factors that affect fertility in couples trying to conceive, as well as in couples who are already expecting. It will help researchers understand what helps or hinders becoming a father.
