Excerpt
The negative impacts of late follicular elevation of serum progesterone (P) on the clinical outcome of fresh embryo transfers (ET) have been well established [
1,
2]. The main detriment of premature P elevation is impaired endometrial receptivity, specifically, the asynchrony between the endometrium and the developing embryos [
3,
4]. Therefore, frozen embryo transfer (FET) was almost universally offered to patients in the event of premature P elevation with encouraging outcomes, indicating that follicular P exposure confers no significant impact to the quality of oocyte and the derived embryos [
