Luteal Phase Support In Infertility Treatment Walter Bushnell

Luteal Phase Support In Infertility Treatment Walter Bushnell Study: the efficacy and the tolerability of two different vaginal formulations of micronized progesterone for luteal phase support after an ivf cycle were compared in a cohort study. 19 one hundred and twenty three women who underwent ivf intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) stimulated cycles and who had at least six follicles of ≥ 14 mm on the day of hcg administration, were randomly. A myriad of authors studying the management of luteal phase defect support the administration of progesterone, estrogen or human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg) to overcome the suboptimal sex steroid environment in ivf cycles. 25,26 while a diverse range of preparations and dosages of these hormones are employed, there is lack of consensus regarding the best luteal support regime. 27.

Luteal Phase Support Strategies In Infertility Walter Bushnell Methods: to determine whether luteal phase support increases reproductive success in modern ivf cycles, a systematic review of the literature was performed. meta analyses were conducted when multiple homogeneous studies addressed a single issue. If they compared two regimens of support, for exam­ pie, p versus hcg. luteal support had to be admin­ istered on at least 2 days in the luteal phase. trials using one or two doses before or around ovulation were excluded from the analysis. cohort studies, nonrandomized trials, and trials of luteal support for recurrent abortion were excluded. The authors do not state how the papers were selected for the review, but studies had to compare luteal support with no treatment or 2 regimens of support, and luteal support had to be administered on at least 2 days in the luteal phase. Combination of data from trials of luteal support with other infertility therapies was not possible because of the differences in patient populations. conclusions: the meta analysis supports the routine use of hcg in ivf cycles using a gnrh a. progesterone was also beneficial for luteal phase support in ivf.

Luteal phase support (lps) is a well known intervention for almost all stimulated assisted reproductive technology (art) cycles. ovarian stimulation cycles using both gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) agonist or antagonist protocols have been associated with a defective luteal phase that can disturb embryo implantation (4). The luteal phase is called so because it involves the process of luteinization, in which a structural transformation takes place in the luteinized cells of the collapsed follicle in response to increased vascularization. 1 during the luteal phase, the corpus luteum secretes progesterone, which, along with estrogen, prepares the endometrium for the implantation of the embryo. 2.
