In vitro fertilization procedure – role in application progesterone Case report

Main Article Content

Grzegorz Polak

Abstract

Progesterone is a hormone necessary for the secretory transformation of the endometrium, which determines the implantation of the embryo and the maintenance of early pregnancy. Supporting the luteal phase with gestagens after embryo transfer is one of the stages of the in vitro fertilization procedure. The combination of progesterone administered sublingually and vaginally provides optimal concentrations for achieving pregnancy during this procedure.
