Abstract:

The term «Pregnancy hormone», which has taken root in society, in relation to progesterone, excludes the possibility of underestimating its importance in the onset and progression of pregnancy. However, an active interest in the practical significance of serum progesterone concentrations in patients receiving management in ART programs has begun to develop just in recent years. This review presents the main trends in ongoing scientific research and studies results confirming the important role of the determination of serum progesterone concentrations in the early and late follicular phases also in embryo transfer cycles after artificial endometrial preparation. The authors have proposed various options for managing patients in IVF treatment cycles in order to increase the effectiveness of the programs.
