Clinical Trial Summary

Female inability to conceive a child. The purpose of this prospective randomized, double-blinded, double dummy, two-arm cross-over study is to investigate the difference on histological, transcriptional and immunological level in endometrium between 3x10mg Dydrogesterone oral tablets and 3x200 mg Micronized progesterone intravaginal capsules for the luteal support in egg cell donors. Beside that, the pharmacokinetics, the impact on the peripheral immunology (by blood sampling) and the microbiota (by genital swabs) will be investigated.
