Abstract

Progesterone supplementation is a routine practice after intrauterine insemination and IVF-ET procedures. Progesterone is indicated in patients of PCOS and cervical incompetence. It also helps in prevention of recurrent unexplained miscarriages. Effect of a high dose of progesterone supplementation in causing earlier onset of Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) merits further focussed investigation.
