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 clinical trial investigates the impact of using a sterile water-based lubrication gel during the embryo transfer (ET) process in in vitro fertilization (IVF). The study aims to determine whether the gel affects the live birth rate per transfer, addressing concerns that it may hinder ET success. Participants will include women aged 18-40 undergoing their first to third ET with fresh or thawed embryos. The trial will compare outcomes between those who receive the gel and those who do not, contributing to the understanding of best practices in embryo transfer.
