Progesterone levels key to IVF success in frozen embryo transfers
NCT ID NCT05109676
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 300 women undergoing frozen embryo transfer as part of IVF treatment. Researchers measured progesterone levels in the blood to understand how the body processes the hormone. The goal was to find out if low progesterone on transfer day leads to higher failure rates and miscarriage, helping doctors adjust treatment for better outcomes.
