The Role of hCG in Thawed Embryo Transfer
Fertility Center of Las Vegas
Summary
This prospective randomized trial will assess the relevance, if any, of a corpus luteum induced by hCG in transfers of thawed embryos.
Description
The current study is designed to carefully isolate the effect of a corpus luteum by ensuring that the presence or absence of a corpus luteum is the only difference between two study arms. This should be reliably achieved by administering an injection of hCG in one study arm, while the other study arm has identical treatment except for omitting the hCG.
