Couples and microbial diversity study
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how the natural bacteria living in and on couples might affect fertility and the chance of getting pregnant. It aims to understand the role of microbial diversity in couples who are having trouble conceiving.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You and your partner have been trying to get pregnant for at least 12 months without success.
- You are both 18 years or older.
- You both speak Finnish fluently.
- You do not need donated eggs or sperm (unless you are a female couple trying to conceive).

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 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 follows people trying to have babies through fertility treatment to understand how environmental factors and lifestyle habits affect treatment success. By sharing your background and habits, you help researchers learn what may improve fertility outcomes.
This study measures “free radicals” in sperm to see how lifestyle and the microbiota (gut/community of microbes) may relate to sperm health. You may be asked to provide a semen sample as part of standard fertility testing, unless certain health factors apply.
This study looks at how pesticides might affect fertility in women with endometriosis, focusing on stress markers and gut/genital bacteria. You will provide samples and answer questions so researchers can compare women with and without endometriosis.
This study tests if reducing exposure to common environmental toxins before in vitro fertilization (IVF) improves success. It involves tracking daily habits and providing guidance to limit these exposures.
