This trial studies how gut bacteria (your “microbiome”) may relate to infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, and time to pregnancy. It may help researchers understand what could be changed to improve fertility outcomes.
This trial tests whether taking royal jelly supplements for 3 months can improve sperm quality and fertility in men with unexplained infertility. It might help if you and your partner have been trying for a baby for over a year without success, and all standard tests are normal.
This trial tests if a supplement called TetraSOD can improve sperm quality in men with infertility of unknown cause. It may help if you and your partner have been trying for at least a year without success.
This trial tests if adding pentoxifylline to CoQ10 (a natural supplement) works better than CoQ10 alone to improve sperm movement in men with low sperm motility. If you have been trying to conceive and your semen analysis shows low motility, this study may help.
This study tests a new method for preparing sperm to help with fertility treatments. It is for men who can provide a semen sample and have no active infections or history of certain viruses.
