In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer

Vitamin D is best known for keeping our bones healthy, but growing research suggests it may also play a role in fertility. Many IVF clinics now routinely check vitamin D levels and prescribe supplements before treatment, but the science is still unclear on whether this actually improves the chances of pregnancy. Our study, based in the UAE, aims to find out whether a woman's vitamin D level on the day of her frozen embryo transfer (FET) makes a difference to whether she becomes pregnant and delivers a baby. The UAE is an ideal setting for this research, as vitamin D deficiency is particularly common in the region. The findings could shape how fertility clinics screen and treat women seeking fertility treatment in the future.
