Follicle size and egg retrieval in IVF treatment
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the size of follicles (fluid-filled sacs in the ovaries) before the trigger shot can predict how many eggs are retrieved during an IVF cycle. It may help doctors choose the best time for egg retrieval to improve success.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 35 years old
- You are undergoing ICSI (a type of IVF where a single sperm is injected into an egg)
- You have at least 4 follicles larger than 15 mm on the day of the trigger shot
- You are using either a GnRH antagonist or agonist protocol (medications to control ovulation)
- Your BMI is between 18 and 35
- You can provide written informed consent

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial compares two different trigger shot sizes for women 35 and older who have low egg reserve. The goal is to find which trigger dose leads to the best egg retrieval results.
This trial compares two different 'trigger shots' — a final medication that helps your eggs mature before they are collected. It is for women with a normal egg supply who are doing IVF with ICSI. Taking part may help your doctor learn which trigger works better for your situation, potentially leading to more mature eggs and better chances of success.
This study tests different medication approaches to help women who had a low number of eggs in a previous IVF cycle produce more eggs this time. The goal is to find a better stimulation method for women with this 'low response' pattern.
This trial compares triggering ovulation when the lead follicle is smaller versus larger than 17mm in a modified natural cycle. The goal is to see if timing the trigger differently improves pregnancy rates for women having a frozen embryo transfer.
This trial studies tiny biological messages (exosomes carrying microRNA) found in “follicle fluid” to see how they may relate to egg development during IVF with ICSI. You may be able to contribute samples if you are planning IVF+ICSI and meet the health and pregnancy safety requirements.
