What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the relationship between serum progesterone levels on the day of the β-hCG test and ongoing pregnancy rates in women undergoing artificial cycles. It includes a prospective cohort of infertile patients who receive luteal phase support with vaginal natural progesterone. The study aims to determine if lower serum progesterone levels on the day of the pregnancy test correlate with higher miscarriage rates, despite positive pregnancy tests. The goal is to identify a cut-off point for progesterone levels that could predict pregnancy outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could help optimize progesterone supplementation strategies to improve pregnancy outcomes for women undergoing artificial cycles.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have indicated a correlation between serum progesterone levels and pregnancy outcomes, suggesting this approach has been explored but may still hold novel insights.
