Prognostic Value of Progesterone on Oocyte Retrieval Day for In Vitro Fertilization Outcome

Prognostic Value of Progesterone Levels on Oocyte Retrieval Day for Outcome of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection

This observational study aims the potential role of serum progesterone levels on the day of oocyte pick-up on the probability of pregnancy, in patients undergoing antagonist IVF cycles.

There has been evidence, that increased serum levels of progesterone on triggering day are associated with a decreased probability of pregnancy after IVF.

There is no study that investigate assocation between serum progesterone levels on the day of oocyte pick-up and IVF outcomes. This study will be the first in this case.
