Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people undergoing IVF who have acceptable ovarian reserve and AMH levels, no contraindications to PRP or IVF, and are willing to complete two IVF cycles with the described procedures.
✕Probably not a fit
People with anovulation due to menopause or perimenopause or those with medical contraindications to IVF or PRP are unlikely to benefit from this approach.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
After an initial IVF cycle, participants receive an autologous PRP injection into both ovaries under transvaginal ultrasound guidance and IV sedation roughly 1–2 weeks after the next menstrual cycle begins. A second IVF cycle uses the same stimulation protocol, with a second ovarian PRP injection on stimulation days 2–5, followed by oocyte retrieval and fertilization under the same conditions as the first cycle. Up to 15 embryos per participant are cultured in a time-lapse AI incubator to track morphokinetics, and AI software scores embryo viability and implantation potential. The trial enrolls people without contraindications to IVF or PRP who are willing to undergo two IVF cycles and meet ovarian reserve/AMH requirements.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, ovarian PRP injections could improve embryo development and raise the chances of implantation and pregnancy for some people undergoing IVF.
How similar studies have gone: Small uncontrolled series and case reports have suggested possible ovarian function or embryo-quality improvements with ovarian PRP, but randomized, high-quality evidence is limited and results have been inconsistent.
