Comparing short vs long Clomid for IVF stimulation
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a shorter or longer course of Clomid (a fertility medicine) works better for women who are expected to have a low response to ovarian stimulation. It may help those with a lower egg reserve still produce enough eggs for IVF.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to do IVF or freeze all your eggs/embryos for later use.
- Your antral follicle count (a measure of egg reserve on ultrasound) is 2 or more.
- You are under 45 years old when starting the stimulation medicines.
- Your male partner has some sperm (not a condition where no sperm is present).
- You do not have a normal or high egg reserve (you are considered a 'poor responder' by your clinic).

This trial tests whether a lower or higher dose of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) works better for women with normal egg supply. If you are starting your first or second IVF cycle, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a 'one-shot' ovarian stimulation protocol (a single injection to help your ovaries produce eggs). It is for women with good ovarian reserve who fit certain age and health requirements, and aims to simplify the treatment process.
This trial compares two starting doses of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) during in vitro fertilization (IVF) to see which works better. FSH helps your ovaries produce eggs, and the study aims to find the best dose for women with good fertility prospects.
This trial tests whether doing two shorter rounds of hormone stimulation in one menstrual cycle (dual ovarian stimulation) leads to more live births than the usual two separate stimulation cycles for women who have a low egg reserve. The goal is to find a better way to help women who have had limited success with IVF.
This study tests a different type of fertility medication to help women who had fewer than 9 eggs retrieved in a previous IVF cycle. It's designed for women between 18 and 40 with a specific hormone profile, and aims to improve egg collection results.
This study compares two methods of stimulating the ovaries before IVF: one using a standard hormone (hCG) and another using a different protocol. The goal is to see if the new method works as well as the standard one, while possibly being more cost-effective.
