After egg retrieval, if there is no transfer, is it still necessary to take progesterone?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Please ask: If the egg retrieval fails to result in implantation, do I still need to take progesterone?

Doctor's answer:

Hello: Actually, I'm not quite sure why you are undergoing IVF—is it due to insufficient progesterone, estrogen deficiency, or a lack of adequate follicle-stimulating hormone in your body. The effect of taking progesterone alone is limited. Gynecological diseases not only affect a patient's physical health but can also lead to the occurrence of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it's best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment can be administered. Additionally, pay close attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
