Live Birth Rates Comparable to IM Progesterone¹

Study design: Results of a prospective study of 89 women receiving progesterone for an IVF-ET cycle. Patients received Crinone 8% (90 mg QD) or IM progesterone (50 mg QD). In both groups, progesterone support was begun 2 days after oocyte retrieval and continued until the pregnancy test was performed or for up to 12 weeks in the case of pregnancy.
