Thanks to recent advances in clinical practice and laboratory, embryo cryopreservation has become the first-line procedure in assisted reproductive technology. Improved laboratory techniques have increased the number of available embryos derived from an in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycle. Implementation of a single embryo transfer policy to improve vitrification, improve postwarm embryo survival rates, and reduce multiple pregnancies without reducing cumulative birth rates has contributed to an increase in the number of frozen-warms (1,2) Embryo freezing; It is becoming an adopted practice for an increasing number of indications, including prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), late follicular phase progesterone elevation, and embryo-endometrial asynchrony. In our study, we are investigating the effect of pre-transfer serum progesterone levels on pregnancy outcomes in patients who underwent frozen-thawed embryo transfer.Supplementary progesterone preparations can be used to prevent luteal phase defect and to provide progesterone support in cycle preparations for frozen-thawed embryo transfer(3). The aim in this study is to show the effect of serum progesterone level on the pregnancy results on the day of embryo transfer in natural cycles.
The invesigators aimed to seperate the patients,which is going to be applied IUI, to two different groups as prospective randomized controlled ;assess the efficacy of the two different way pressurised progesterone by appling intravaginal progesterone to the first group; subcutaneous to the second group.

Embryo freezing process; Prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is becoming an accepted practice for a growing number of indications, including preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), late follicular phase progesterone elevation, and embryo-endometrial asynchrony. Progesterone; plays a key role in the preparation of the endometrial cavity for embryo attachment. Supplementary progesterone preparations can be used to prevent luteal phase defects and provide progesterone support during cycle preparations for frozen-thawed embryo transfer. Our aim in this study is to show the effect of serum progesterone level on pregnancy outcomes on the day of embryo transfer.
The aim of this study was to determine the level of salivary estradiol, progesterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in female postmenopausal women with and without burning mouth syndrome. In all participants the quantity of unstimulated and stimulated saliva would be determined and they would fulfill self-perceived quality of life questionnaire Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14). Intensity of burning symptoms would be determined on visual-analogue scale grading 0-10. All data would be compared between study and control group.
The association between serum progesterone (P) levels, measured on the day of ovulation trigger, and the outcome of in vitro fertilization cycles, has been one of the major controversies in the field of ovarian stimulation endocrinology. This is a single-center retrospective cohort study. Study duration period is from January 2012 to December 2016. All fresh embryo transfer (ET) both at cleavage stage and blastocyst stage, performed in Humanitas Fertility Center during the study period, were included.
This study evaluates the effect of micronized progesterone substitution in the luteal phase on resting energy expenditure in women during menopausal transition.
The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the efficacy of oral dydrogesterone vs. micronized vaginal progesterone for luteal phase support in frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles.
Transferring an euploid embryo avoids one of the main reasons of miscarriage and implantation failure (1), overcoming confounding factors such as embryo ploidy or maternal age. Frozen Euploid Embryo Transfer (FEET) is routinely performed under standard hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and could be considered the best model for evaluating the impact of the endometrial preparation in clinical pregnancy rate and also in miscarriage rate. Recently several authors have paid attention to serum progesterone (P) as a possible factor influencing Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) outcomes. P plays an important role in endometrial gland formation, embryonic implantation and pregnancy maintenance. Labarta et al. (2) described in blastocyst FET performed under HRT that serum P <9.2 ng/mL measured on the transfer day is associated to significantly lower ongoing pregnancy rate (OR 0.297, 95% CI:0.113-0.779). Recently the investigators have analyzed 244 FEET performed under HRT in a retrospective study (3). Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) was carried out as previously described (4). Embryos that reached the blastocyst stage were biopsied and frozen immediately afterwards using the vitrification method (5). Euploid embryos were transferred in a subsequent cycle under HRT. Serum P was analyzed the day previous to FEET. Patients with serum P <10.6 ng/mL had significantly higher miscarriage rate (26.6% vs 9.5%, p=0.007) and lower live birth rate (47.5% vs 62.3 %, p= 0.029) than those with serum P >10.6 ng/mL. The investigators also observed that patients with serum P >13.1 ng/mL had the lowest miscarriage rate (9.1%) and the highest live birth rate (65.6%). The worst outcomes were observed when serum P was <8.06 ng /mL (41% live birth rate and 32.4% miscarriage rate). As miscarriage was higher among FEET cycles with serum P <10.6 ng/ml, the investigators hypothesize that altering the progesterone supplementation scheme could potentially reduce miscarriage rates and increase live birth rate. The purpose of this study is to modify the standard progesterone supplementation in FEET under HRT (vaginal micronized progesterone 200 mg every 8 hours) (6) according to serum P measured not only on the day prior to transfer but also on Beta subunit of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (β-hCG) analysis day, and to probe if this intervention reduces miscarriage rate and increases pregnancy outcome.
Luteal phase support in "in vitro fertilization" (IVF) cycles has been shown to improve pregnancy rates and became a standard of treatment, and progesterone is the first choice considering its safety profile and effectiveness. There are many studies demonstrating that vaginal progesterone is equally efficacious and better tolerated compared to intramuscular progesterone for luteal phase support in IVF cycles. Conversely, although different studies showed that subcutaneous progesterone is equally efficacious compared to vaginal progesterone, patient use satisfaction and compliance were less studied with few evidences are available, that may guide the choice of vaginal progesterone instead of subcutaneous progesterone and other way around. Considering the paucity of published data about the patient's preference and use satisfaction about subcutaneous progesterone, the investigators will conduct a prospective randomized study aimed to compared adverse effects rates, impact on quality of life, use satisfaction and administration preference in women undergoing luteal phase support with vaginal progesterone versus subcutaneous progesterone during IVF cycles, that may guide the choice for luteal phase support in IVF cycles.
