Estradiol 8 vs 12 mg for Endometrial Preparation in HRT-FET

Completed Phase 4
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether 12 mg or 8 mg of oral estradiol valerate is better for preparing the endometrium in women undergoing hormone replacement frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) cycles. It also aims to assess how these two doses affect pregnancy outcomes and cycle success. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does oral estradiol 12 mg/day improve the clinical pregnancy rate compared with 8 mg/day? Do the two doses differ in endometrial thickness, cycle cancellation, miscarriage, and embryo transfer outcomes? Researchers will compare oral estradiol valerate 12 mg/day with oral estradiol valerate 8 mg/day to see whether the higher dose leads to better endometrial preparation and higher clinical pregnancy rates. Participants will: Be randomly assigned to receive either oral estradiol 8 mg/day or 12 mg/day Undergo endometrial preparation before frozen embryo transfer Have endometrial thickness assessed before starting progesterone Undergo embryo transfer and follow-up to assess clinical pregnancy and other outcomes
