Midluteal Serum Estrogen and Progesterone Levels predict Pregnancy Rate in in vitro Fertilization/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection Cycles: A Prospective Study
Abstract:Introduction:In assisted reproduction technique cycles, controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) leads to supraphysiological levels of steroid hormone secretion and the subsequent need for luteal phase support (LPS). Therefore, existing data on the steroid secretion profile in the luteal phase of spontaneous conception cycles and its predictive value for pregnancy outcome need to be discussed against the background of preceding COS. The clinical significance of luteal phase hormones, such as estrogen (E2) and prog… Show more
