The purpose of this study is to determine whether progesterone hormone levels differ
following egg retrieval with a single lumen needle compared with a double lumen needle.
These levels will be measured on several days before and after egg retrieval. The
progesterone levels in each IVF group will also be compared to the group of women who are
having IUI. In addition, these progesterone levels will be correlated with pregnancy
outcomes.

This is a prospective randomized trial consisting of 3 groups of patients. Following a long
lupron protocol IVF cycle there is a need for supplemental progesterone. The purpose of this
study is to determine what range of serum levels should be observed when differing methods
of egg aspiration have been administered and whether or not there is a correlation with
outcomes or pregnancies.
