Oocyte elasticity and embryo development in IVF
This study looks at how the thickness and flexibility of the outer layer of a woman's egg (called the zona pellucida) relates to whether the egg develops into a high-quality embryo (a blastocyst). It may help improve embryo selection during IVF treatment.

This study tests a new sensor that checks the quality of eggs (oocytes) during IVF treatment. It aims to help choose the best eggs for fertilization, which may improve the chances of a successful pregnancy for couples facing male infertility.
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 study compares two ways to pick the best single embryo for transfer during IVF: using a new non-invasive (without touching the embryo) test versus the standard grading by how the embryo looks under a microscope. It aims to improve the chance of a successful pregnancy.
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 trial looks at how the size of ovarian follicles (fluid sacs that contain eggs) affects egg maturity in women who have a low egg count. It may help improve egg freezing or IVF success.
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.
