Abstrakt: Forty-four infertile patients with inadequate luteal phase histologically documented in at least two separate cycles and normal plasma levels of progesterone (P), estradiol (E2), and prolactin (PRL) were entered into treatment plans on a random basis involving at least 3months of each of the following: P vaginal suppositories, dehydrogesterone, and no treatment. Success rates were similar for P (62.5%) and dehydrogesterone (68.7%), based on a corrected endometrial defect during the fourth treated cycle or when a term pregnancy was achieved. However, these figures are significantly different (P<0.001) when compared with 16.6% of the control group.
