Why do i need progesterone gel after embryo transfer? i am doing ivf with my own eggs.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pregnancy rates: Women who use Progesterone (vaginal or injections) are more likely to have a live birth from an ivf cycle that those who do not. The medications and the egg retrieval can reduce the ovaries ability to produce enough Progesterone to support a pregnancy.
