However, couples have been less daunting thank to many supporting infertility methods and one of the best methods is in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Corpus luteum plays a very important role in the maintenance and development of pregnancy in the early stages. Corpus luteum mainly secretes progesterone - the main hormone affecting the endometrium in the luteal phase, creating good conditions for embryo implantation.
Progesterone can be used orally, intramuscularly and vaginal. The blood progesterone level in vaginal administration is higher than in oral administration and is maintained up to 48 hours. Vaginal progesterone has no side effects drowsiness or dizziness, vertigo due to not pass the metabolism in the liver. A great advantage of the vaginal administration is the very quick absorption of uterine tissue .
