There appears to be a superiority of IM over vaginal progesterone for frozen embryo transfers (FET) The difference may result from non-pelvic effects of progesterone (immuno-suppression and/or Vasopressin/oxytocin)
LPS is necessary in ART because CL support by LH is deficient Progesterone production during the luteal phase is of ~25ng/mL A new sub cutaneous progesterone preparation is available: Prolutex (25mg/day) Endometrial effects of vag and injectable progesterone are equivalent. In FET, injectable progesterone results in higehr PR possibly, through non-pelvic effects.
