Follicular flushing during egg retrieval
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether rinsing the follicle during egg retrieval helps collect more eggs. It may improve the number of eggs available for fertilization.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are undergoing ovarian stimulation with certain hormone injections (recFSH and GnRH antagonist or PPOS protocol).
- Your final egg maturation is triggered with hCG or GnRH agonist medication.
- On the day of egg retrieval, you have at least one follicle (fluid-filled sac) of 11mm or larger in each ovary.
- Your eggs will be fertilized using ICSI (a method where a single sperm is injected into an egg).
- You do not have ovarian cysts from endometriosis, have not had ovarian surgery, and have both ovaries accessible for the procedure.

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 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.
This study compares two ways of collecting eggs from the ovaries during a procedure done through the abdomen, rather than through the vagina. It aims to see if flushing the follicle (washing out the egg) works better than directly sucking it out, which could help women who cannot or prefer not to have the usual vaginal procedure.
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.
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.
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.
