You may qualify if:

  • Patient has given written informed consent;
  • BMI \< 30 kg/m2;
  • Age 18 - 42 (upon starting COH);
  • \<3 prior ART cycles (IVF, ICSI and related procedures);
  • Baseline (day 2-3 of cycling) FSH \<15 IU/L and E2 \<80 pg/mL;

  • Stage III or IV endometriosis (no endometriomas);
  • Hydrosalpinges;
  • History of past poor response to COH resulting in canceling ART;
  • Use of thawed/donated oocytes;

  • History of conditions (i.e. toxic shock syndrome) that would contraindicate use of a vaginal progesterone product;
  • History of arterial disease;
  • Patients with hepatic impairment (liver function tests \> 2x upper limits of normal);

  • Patients with renal impairment (estimated creatinine clearance \<60 mL/min/1.73 m2);
  • +6 more criteria
