How Gut Bacteria Affect IVF Success in Couples
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether differences in the gut (microbiome) are linked to how long it takes to get pregnant and pregnancy outcomes. It may help researchers understand who might benefit from future microbiome-focused approaches.
This study looks at how the natural bacteria in your body (microbiome) might affect fertility. It aims to help couples who have been trying to get pregnant for a while by examining how the couple's microbial diversity relates to conception.
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 looks at how environmental and lifestyle factors affect infertility and the results of assisted reproductive technology (ART), such as IVF. It aims to help understand what might improve your chances of having a baby.
This study tests whether a program that helps couples reduce exposure to everyday chemicals that could affect fertility improves the chances of success with their first IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatment. It's designed for couples who are just starting their first cycle and want to make their environment as healthy as possible.
