In IVF-ET cycles—
Pregnancy Rates Comparable to IM Progesterone1
![]() |
| Study design: Results of a retrospective analysis of 1675 IVF-ET cycles in which women received progesterone for luteal phase support. Patients received Crinone 8% (90 mg QD), progesterone vaginal suppositories (100 mg QD), or IM progesterone (50 mg QD). Progesterone support started on the day after oocyte retrieval and continued through 7–10 weeks in case of pregnancy. |
Crinone 8% usage more than doubled during this retrospective study
- Usage increased from 21.7% in the 1st quarter to 50.1% by the 4th quarter
- Type of progesterone was determined by patient and physician preference
