Main objective

Scope: Therapy

The primary objective is to investigate if luteal phase support by vaginal progesterone, is superior to no luteal phase support, in terms of live birth per woman undergoing FET-NC, and if superiority is shown, if 7 weeks of progesterone treatment is superior to 3 weeks treatment.

Secondary objectives 5

  1. To compare treatment groups regarding pregnancy outcomes including biochemical, clinical, ongoing and term pregnancy rates, as well as rates of miscarriage, termination of pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy.
  2. To compare treatment groups regarding perinatal and obstetric outcomes.
  3. To compare treatment groups regarding self-reported side effects and adverse events.
  4. To compare treatment groups regarding cost effectiveness.
  5. To analyze the effect of S-progesterone level before FET on the chance of achieving live birth and secondary pregnancy outcomes.
