Progesterone

Intramuscular injections of progesterone are a common method of providing hormone support during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. These injections are usually started two days after embryo retrieval and continued until the placenta is producing sufficient levels of progesterone. The injections are typically given daily and are administered into the muscle, usually the buttock or thigh.

Progesterone is a hormone that is essential for pregnancy, as it helps to prepare the uterus for implantation and supports the growth of the embryo. In women undergoing IVF treatment, progesterone levels may be lower than normal due to the medication used to stimulate ovulation. This can make it difficult for embryos to implant and grow, which is why progesterone supplementation is often needed.

In addition to intramuscular injections, progesterone can also be administered in other forms, such as vaginal gel, suppository, or pill. The choice of administration method depends on the patient's preference and medical history. Vaginal gel and suppositories are usually inserted into the vagina and are effective at delivering progesterone directly to the uterus. Pills can be taken orally but may not be as effective as other methods of administration.

In addition to injections, progesterone can also be administered through a vaginal gel, suppository, or pill.
