Two main reasons: 1... with such a gargantuan effort as IVF, you do not want any surprises, even minor ones, which may negatively affect the outcome; administering progesterone suplementation is a form of insurance against such impediments; 2... strong follicular stimulation seems to be frequently associated with a sudden, premature, and precipitous drop in progesterone production by the resultant corpus luteum (or lutea) - replacement with natural progesterone does not add any risk (same progesterone as is secreted by corpus luteum) while preventing the possible adverse effect on the pregnancy by too low progesterone levels; Supplementation is continued beyond the 8th week at which time (+ or - a week or two) the corpus lutem normally ceases production of progesterone and placenta begins its own progesterone production.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
