Increases in progesterone after human chorionic gonadotropin administration may predict cycle outcome in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Both pronuclear morphology and early zygote cleavage have been used in combination with day 3 criteria to predict implantation and pregnancy. However, in routine practice, it is impractical to use both these criteria to select embryos on day 3. The objective of the present study was to find which of the two c...
