Serum Progesterone Profile Across the Mid and Late Luteal Phase in Artificial Cycles Is Associated With Pregnancy Outcome.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Recent studies have shown that low serum progesterone levels on the day of embryo transfer (ET) are associated with poorer pregnancy outcome in hormonal replacement therapy cycles. It is of interest to know if serum progesterone levels during late luteal phase (following days after ET) are also related with the chances of ongoing pregnancy.

Objective

To evaluate the luteal phase endocrine profile through measurements of serum progesterone and estradiol on days ET+4, ET+7 and ET+11, to test their predictive value in relation to pregnancy outcome.

Setting

Private infertility center, Valencia, Spain.

Materials and methods

Prospective cohort study performed between June 2017 and August 2018. Eligible patients were aged between 18-42 years, with a norma
