A total of 335 patients were included in the study (Table): 234 IM, 74 Vag, 27 IM+Vag. The patients in all groups were mostly non-Hispanic white, >35 years old, overweight, married, and English speaking. There were no differences in maternal or neonatal outcomes between the three groups.
Conclusion:
The route of progesterone administration in pregnancies achieved via FET is not associated with adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes. Vaginal progesterone may be considered to minimize discomfort for patients undergoing fertility treatment. Larger prospective studies are still warranted.
