Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I would like to know, can Cortisone help if taken before transferring an embryo? And if it can help so, in which way?
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.
