ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is examining how stress affects the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. Researchers want to see if measuring stress levels using a special device called the OTO can help predict how well IVF works for women. The trial is currently active but not recruiting new participants.

To be eligible for this study, women must be between 25 and 40 years old and planning to undergo their first IVF cycle with a frozen embryo transfer at one of the participating clinics. They should have access to the internet, own a smartphone, and be willing to wear the OTO device for a few minutes each morning during their IVF cycle. It's also important that participants can read and speak English. Women with certain heart conditions or recent heart surgery are not eligible to join. If you participate, you can expect to wear the device and provide information about your stress levels during your treatment, which may help improve future IVF outcomes.
