In IVF treatment, progesterone (also known as luteal hormone) plays a crucial role, especially in US IVF treatment, where the level of progesterone directly affects the success of embryo transfer. As a hormone secreted by the ovarian corpus luteum, progesterone not only maintains the health of the female reproductive system but also plays a vital role in every step of the IVF process.

 

One of progesterone’s most significant roles is regulating the activity of the ovaries. It effectively suppresses natural ovulation, creating favorable conditions for the orderly progression of ovarian activity during the treatment cycle. This is especially important during the egg retrieval stage, as the presence of progesterone ensures the quality of the follicles and the health of the eggs, laying the foundation for subsequent embryo transfer.

 

Additionally, progesterone plays a key role in preparing the uterine lining. By regulating the thickness and quality of the endometrium, it provides a warm and suitable environment for the fertilized egg to implant. Progesterone acts like a meticulous gardener, carefully creating the "soil" for new life to grow, ensuring stable development of the fertilized egg.

 

More importantly, progesterone helps reduce excessive uterine contractions, providing stable support for embryo implantation. The stability of the uterus is particularly critical in the early stages of pregnancy, and progesterone helps relax the uterine muscles, effectively preventing potential miscarriage risks and offering strong protection for the growth of new life.

 

Moreover, progesterone also plays a role in regulating immune responses. It suppresses the maternal immune system’s rejection of the foreign embryo, providing a physiological mechanism that ensures the smooth implantation and development of the embryo. This immune-regulating function of progesterone greatly increases the chances of pregnancy success.

 

However, not all patients can maintain ideal progesterone levels during IVF treatment. Particularly after egg retrieval, luteal insufficiency may lead to inadequate progesterone secretion, which can impact pregnancy progression. In such cases, doctors usually recommend a personalized progesterone supplementation plan based on the patient’s specific condition to ensure progesterone levels are sufficient to support pregnancy.

 

In the US, IVF treatment is known for its high level of professionalism and personalized treatment plans. Doctors adjust the progesterone supplementation dose and timing precisely according to each patient’s individual situation, maximizing the chances of successful embryo transfer. This tailored treatment plan ensures that patients not only receive professional medical support but also experience meticulous care throughout the process.
