Monitoring of Progesterone Administered in Infertile Patients During a Cycle of Frozen Embryo Transfer.

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
IVF
Registration Number
NCT05109676
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Toulouse
Brief Summary

During an In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) attempt, several embryos are obtained but not all of them can be transferred to the uterus in the same cycle due to the risk of multiple pregnancies. Thus, it is very common for these couples to benefit from cryopreservation. Patients scheduled for frozen embryo transfer (TEC) receive estrogen and progesterone replacement therapy to prepare the endometrium for implantation. Data from the literature recently showed that low progesterone on the day of embryo transfer was responsible for a significantly higher rate of implantation failure and miscarriage.
