Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Yes, Cortisone can increase the chance of getting pregnant. It decreases ACTH production (adrenocorticotropic hormone) and increases pituitary gonadotropin release, thereby increasing the chance of pregnancy. If you have a doubt then get back to me.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Which is better to use in the embryo transfer protocol, Progesterone pills or injections? What do you usually prescribe?

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Progesterone pills are better to use because progesterone injections are a bit painful.
