Though it can be administered orally, intramuscularly or even sublingually, a very effective route with fewer side effects can be achieved by an intravaginal route. The first vaginal preparations were not made commercially but were compounded by pharmacies. This had the disadvantage of lack of control by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ensuring efficacy of the preparations. Furthermore there was a lack of precise dosing leading to batch to batch variation. The first commercially approved vaginal progesterone preparation in the United States was a vaginal gel which has proven very effective. The main side effect was accumulation of a buildup of the vaginal gel sometimes leading to irritation. Natural micronized progesterone for vaginal administration with the brand name of Utrogestan A had been approved even before the gel in certain European countries. Endometrin vaginal tablets are the newest natural progesterone approved by the FDA. Comparisons to the vaginal gel and to intramuscular progesterone have shown similar efficacy especially in studies following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and oocyte egg retrieval and embryo transfer. Larger studies are needed to compare side effects.

Background During a normal menstrual cycle, progesterone prepares the endometrium for pregnancy by stimulating proliferation in response to human chorionic Gnadotropin produced by the corpus luteum. Many questions were raised about the role of follicular fluid aspiration on the granuloma cells at the time of oocyte retrieving during the ART cycles. Authors believes that oocyte retrieval might d...
