Vaginal microbiome and pregnancy with genetically normal embryos
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the natural community of germs (microbiome) in the vagina might affect the chance of becoming pregnant after transferring a genetically normal embryo. It could help doctors understand if the vaginal environment plays a role in IVF success.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be having a transfer of a genetically normal (euploid) embryo – one that has been tested and shown to have the right number of chromosomes.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be under 35. (Ask your clinic if you need help calculating yours.)
- You cannot have certain untreated uterine problems, such as a malformed uterus, large fibroids, or severe adenomyosis (a condition where the uterine lining grows into the muscle wall).
- The embryo you transfer must be of at least moderate quality (grade 4BC or better on the Gardner scale). Day-7 embryos are not allowed.
- You must not have taken any antibiotics in the month before the transfer (except for antibiotics given right after egg retrieval).

This study looks at the normal bacteria and other microorganisms in the uterus to better understand recurrent pregnancy loss. You may be in a group with recurrent pregnancy loss or in a comparison group without pregnancy loss, and you’ll be asked to meet specific health and timing rules for samples.
This study looks at how bacteria in the vagina and lining of the uterus change during the “luteal phase” (the time after ovulation and before a pregnancy test) in people using frozen embryo transfers. It may help researchers understand what conditions support embryo implantation and pregnancy in assisted reproduction.
This study examines whether the bacteria living in the uterine lining (endometrium) affect whether embryos implant and pregnancies continue after IVF. Researchers will collect tissue samples and study your microbiota—the community of microorganisms in your body—to help explain repeated implantation failures or miscarriages.
This study examines how the bacteria in your gut and your partner's gut may affect the success of IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment. Researchers will collect samples and health information from couples before IVF to see if certain bacterial patterns predict better pregnancy outcomes.
This trial studies how the immune system in the uterus may impact whether a genetically normal frozen embryo implants successfully. It aims to help improve success rates for women undergoing IVF.
This study looks at whether a special test called ReceptIVFity, which checks the health of the vagina, can help improve pregnancy rates in women undergoing IVF or ICSI. If you are planning IVF or ICSI and are of European origin, you might be able to join.
