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 compares two methods of maturing eggs before fertilization for in vitro fertilization (IVF) to see which one works better. One method uses a new technique called CAPA-IVM, and the other is a standard method with minimal stimulation. The study aims to help people with infertility by finding a more effective and potentially safer way to grow eggs.
This study looks at whether checking the fluid around embryos for genetic problems can help predict success in IVF. It may help doctors choose the best embryo to transfer.
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 looks at how much DNA damage in sperm affects the success of a fertility treatment called ICSI (injecting a single sperm directly into an egg). By checking the sperm's DNA before the procedure, the researchers hope to find better ways to help couples achieve a pregnancy.
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.
