Corpus Luteum - progesterone
Posted: Tue Dec 01, 2015 6:02 am
I have a simple question about Corpus Luteum (CL) in the case of IVF.
Is there a functional CL after oocyte extraction or is there several CL if the Dr extracts several oocytes? I can not find any scientific material regarding the development/function of Corpus Luteum after oocyte extraction during IVF. Because the follicle is 'damaged' when the vacuum-needle is inserted and the oocytes (eggs) are sucked out. Can this damaged follicle turn into a functional Corpus Luteum?
BEST!
