Luteal Support Strategies in FET

Three methods of luteal support are implemented in our center. I. Vaginal progesterone gel (90 mg q.d; Crinone, Serono, Hertfordshire, UK); II. Vaginal progesterone soft capsules (0.2 g t.i.d; Utrogestan, Besins, France); III. Intramuscular progesterone (60 mg q.d; Xianju, Zhejiang, China). Patients from both groups could select one of these three luteal support methods and receive oral progesterone (10 mg t.i.d; Dydrogesterone, Abbott Biologicals B.V., Amsterdam, Netherlands) simultaneously. For patients who underwent HRT-FET, exogenous estrogen would be reduced after the confirmation of clinical pregnancy. The luteal support was maintained until week 10 of gestation.
