Endometrial Microbiota and IVF Success
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study examines whether the bacteria living in the uterine lining (endometrium) affect whether embryos implant and pregnancies continue after IVF. Researchers will collect tissue samples and study your microbiota—the community of microorganisms in your body—to help explain repeated implantation failures or miscarriages.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are biologically female and between 18 and 54 years old
- You are undergoing IVF treatment
- You have a history of repeated implantation failure (embryos not attaching) or repeated miscarriages
- You are willing to provide an endometrial biopsy sample (a small tissue sample from the uterine lining)
- You agree to let researchers use your clinical data and microbiome information for this study
- You do not have major uterine abnormalities or medical conditions that would make embryo transfer unsafe

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.
This study looks at the lining of the uterus (womb) in women who have had repeated IVF failures or miscarriages, to see if differences in the lining's germs or immune system might play a role. The goal is to find ways to improve future fertility treatments.
This study looks for a possible infection-related cause of chronic endometritis (a long-lasting inflammation inside the uterus) in people preparing for IVF/ICSI, to help find the best treatment. It involves a diagnostic hysteroscopy and may help doctors choose the most effective steps to improve pregnancy chances.
This study looks at how the natural community of germs (microbiome) in the vagina might affect the chance of becoming pregnant after transferring a genetically normal embryo. It could help doctors understand if the vaginal environment plays a role in IVF success.
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 looks at the normal bacteria and other microorganisms in the uterus to better understand recurrent pregnancy loss. You may be in a group with recurrent pregnancy loss or in a comparison group without pregnancy loss, and you’ll be asked to meet specific health and timing rules for samples.
