Infertility Treatments > Medical > Progesterone ProgesteroneProgesterone is often used by itself or in conjunction with other ovulation-induction medications. Administering progesterone during the luteal phase directly increases the progesterone level. It is often used when there is concern about a possible abnormal luteal phase or luteal phase defect. Only progesterone, the same hormone produced by the body, should be used. The use of natural progesterone has not been associated with any risk of abnormality of the child. There are many progestins, or progesterone-like medications available, but many of these have been associated with birth defects. As far as anyone knows, pure progesterone is perfectly safe to use. © 2005 Jarrett Fertility Group |
