Follicle flushing compared with direct aspiration for egg retrieval
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.

Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 42 years old.
- Your AMH level is 1.0 ng/mL or lower (a blood test that reflects your egg supply).
- You are planning to freeze your eggs for fertility preservation.
- You cannot or prefer not to have the egg collection through the vagina, and your doctor agrees abdominal egg collection is suitable for you.
- You have at least one follicle (a small fluid-filled sac in the ovary) that is at least 17 mm on the day you get the trigger injection.
- You give written consent and are eligible under Turkish regulations.

This trial compares two hormone protocols for ovarian stimulation in women having their first cycle—either to freeze eggs for fertility preservation or for IVF with genetic testing. The goal is to see which method leads to more usable eggs while being easier on the patient.
This trial compares two different trigger shot sizes for women 35 and older who have low egg reserve. The goal is to find which trigger dose leads to the best egg retrieval results.
This study tests whether rinsing the follicle during egg retrieval helps collect more eggs. It may improve the number of eggs available for fertilization.
This study tests a new way to collect eggs without using fertility hormones, then fertilize them and freeze the embryos for later transfer. It may help women who want to avoid hormone injections, but it requires several monitoring visits and specific health criteria.
This trial tests a new technique called multi-site cortical puncture (a gentle procedure on the ovary) for women with low egg supply (diminished ovarian reserve) who are doing IVF. The aim is to see if this approach can improve the number of eggs retrieved in two cycles done a few months apart.
This study compares two ways of retrieving eggs for fertility treatment in women with PCOS. One method is called IVM (maturation of eggs in the lab) and the other is conventional ovarian stimulation (taking hormones to mature eggs in the body). The goal is to see how each affects a woman's physical and mental well-being during the treatment process.
