Background & Aims: Serum progesterone level (as early as 4 weeks gestation) reflects the relation between embryo and corpus luteum. The purpose of the present study was to compare serum progesterone level on day 14 after embryo transfer among 3 groups of patients undergoing intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles; normal pregnancy (viable intrauterine pregnancy), abnormal pregnancy (misc...

conclusions in summary, progesterone administration reduced serum icam-1, and whereby may attenuate blood brain barrier disruption, the latter needs further investigation for confirmation. results a reduction in the serum level of icam-1 was noticed in the progesterone group 24 hours after the injury (p < 0.05). there was no significant difference in the serum level of nse between the study gro...

background: the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between ultrasonographic findings and serum progesterone and cancer antigen-125 (ca-125) levels in threatened miscarriage and to predict pregnancy outcome. materials and methods: in a prospective comparative case-control study, serum ca-125 and progesterone levels were measured for 100 pregnant women with threatened miscarriage ...

background: gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists or antagonists are used in assisted reproductive technique cycles as premature luteinizing hormone secretion inhibition. studies have been reported different and contradictory results on the serum progesterone effect on intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection. objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of serum progesterone leve...

background: the value of serial measurement of serum ß subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (ßhcg) and ultrasonography in the early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy has well established. objective: the objective of this study was to explore the diagnostic value of raising level of serum ßhcg, single measurement of progesterone (p) and estradiol (e2) in early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. mat...

The causes of imminent abortion are multi-factorial. The biggest causal factor is the low level of serum progesterone level. The lowest critical level of serum progesterone for survivability of pregnancy is 10 ng/ml. Eighty percent of patients experiencing abortion showed that their progesterone level was < 10 ng/ml. Patients who realized that their pregnancy would experience hemorrhage general...

Background: To compare the effect of GnRH agonist administration with vaginal progesterone on serum progesterone in Luteal phase in control ovarian hyper stimulation and intrauterine insemination cycles Materials and Methods: In this clinical trial, 242 infertile patients because of UEI (unexplained inferetility candidate for ovarian stimulation and intrauterine insemination reffering to infert...

ectopic pregnancy (ep) and miscarriage are important differential diagnosis of first trimester vaginal bleeding. in first trimester, serum progesterone value can be 5-20 ng/ml in ep and miscarriage. since delay in diagnosis of ep could have high mortality and morbidity, the aim of this study was comparison of serum progesterone value in ep and miscarriage in order to differentiate these conditi...
