Does cortisol level in eggs vary by time of day?
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies how the stress hormone cortisol changes in the fluid around your eggs (follicular fluid) depending on the time of day. It may help doctors understand how timing affects egg quality in IVF treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a way to mature eggs outside the body for women with PCOS or high ovarian reserve. It might help avoid side effects from fertility medications.
This study looks at whether a hormone level measured inside the fluid around eggs (follicular fluid) can predict whether embryos have the correct number of chromosomes. It may help clinics choose which embryos are more likely to be healthy.
This trial tests a new way to stimulate ovaries after ovulation using a single injection of Elonva, compared to a standard method starting on day 2 of the menstrual cycle. It aims to see which approach leads to more mature eggs for IVF or ICSI.
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 tests whether changing the timing of hormones during ovarian stimulation can improve IVF results for people with certain ovarian reserve levels. It may help find a stimulation approach that works better for first-time (or second) IVF cycles.
This study tests an IVF approach that changes how ovarian stimulation is started, helps retrieve eggs more effectively, and may delay embryo transfer. It may help people who have many small eggs (called antral follicles) and higher AMH levels, which can affect how IVF works.
