Association Between Progesterone Levels on the Day of Ovulation Induction and IVF Outcome: Retrospective Study With 2500 Controlled Ovarian Stimulations Cycles

Progesterone levels measured in blood/serum of patients on the day of ovulation induction following controlled ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization may be associated with pregnancy outcome. The hypothesis is that higher progesterone levels are associated with lower implantation rates due to changes in the endometrial receptivity.
