ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "Fertility: Infection and Inflammation," aims to better understand how infections and inflammation may affect fertility in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Researchers are looking at various factors in blood samples and other collected materials to see if they can predict whether a pregnancy will be successful. They will analyze things like hormones, immune markers, and signs of viral infections, which could all play a role in fertility problems. By studying these factors, the investigators hope to uncover new insights that could help improve pregnancy outcomes for couples facing fertility challenges.

To participate in this study, women aged 18 and older, along with their partners, can join if they give consent. Those who are minors or unable to provide consent will not be included. Participants can expect to provide several samples, including blood and other bodily fluids, during different stages of the IVF process. The study will track various outcomes, such as the success of the IVF procedure, the health of the newborn, and other important fertility-related information. This trial is currently recruiting participants and is focused on understanding how specific health factors influence fertility and pregnancy.
