Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The role of progesterone (P) supplementation in the luteal phase of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles is well established world-wide , but the influence of the luteal phase estradiol level on implantation is not clearly defined . There is a significant difference in estradiol levels between fertile and infertile cycles of fertile women who underwent donor insemination.
