Using PRP to protect donor sperm during freezing
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP – a treatment made from your blood that may help healing) to donor sperm before freezing helps protect the sperm. You may qualify if you are a healthy man aged 18–35 with strong semen quality.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether adding a woman's own platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from her blood that may help healing) to her partner's sperm before intrauterine insemination (a fertility treatment where sperm is placed directly into the uterus) improves the chance of pregnancy.
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—a concentration of healing cells from your own blood—injected into the uterus can improve the uterine lining and help embryos implant successfully during fertility treatment. Researchers will check how the treatment changes immune cells in the uterus.
This trial tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood) into the uterus or ovaries can help women with certain fertility issues, such as damaged uterine lining, scarring, or low egg reserve. It aims to improve pregnancy chances in these challenging cases.
