Summary

The study aims to know whether starting progesterone luteal support in intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles on the day of ovum pickup affects the degree of difficulty of embryo transfer compared with starting luteal support on day of embryo transfer

Detailed description

Double blind Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) : the clinicians and the patents were blinded of the allocation group. A total of 137 embryo transfers were randomly allocated into either arm I (67 ) starting luteal support as daily IM injections of 100 mg prontogest on day of egg retrieval , or arm II (66) starting the same P4 dose on day of embryo transfer

Conditions

• Progesterone Luteal Support in ICSI
• Embryo Transfer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Progesterone 100 IM/day	Progesterone IM 100 mg /day was started on day of egg retrieval in egg retrieval arm and on day of embryo transfer in the embryo transfer arm
