Comparing Day 5 and Day 6 Embryo Transfers for Pregnancy Rates

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective multicenter study aims to compare the clinical pregnancy rates of predetermined embryo transfers on day 5 versus day 6 after ICSI treatment. The study will involve patients undergoing single embryo transfers at three fertility centers in Germany. The primary endpoint is the detection of a gestational sac per embryo transfer, while the secondary endpoint focuses on the abortion rate per clinical pregnancy. This research seeks to determine if a day 6 transfer could provide advantages in embryo development assessment.
