Prospective, randomized study to evaluate the success rates using hCG, vaginal progesterone or a combination of both for luteal phase support

Background. A prospective study was done to compare the efficacy of luteal phase support (LPS) using either three times hCG (group I, n=77), hCG on the day of embryo transfer (ET) in combination with daily vaginal progesterone (group II, n=62) or vaginal progesterone only (group III, n=70). Method....

Summary:Background. A prospective study was done to compare the efficacy of luteal phase support (LPS) using either three times hCG (group I, n=77), hCG on the day of embryo transfer (ET) in combination with daily vaginal progesterone (group II, n=62) or vaginal progesterone only (group III, n=70). Method. All patients were treated using the long luteal protocol for controlled ovarian stimulation in an IVF (in vitro fertilization) cycle. Patients were randomized to one of these groups when estradiol was
