Use of progesterone in 3 challenging cases

In this audiocast, a multidisciplinary panel discusses case-based practical issues in the use of progesterone therapy. Moderated by Sandra A. Carson, MD, a group of experts reviews pertinent medical studies and offers insight into their own clinical practices. Participants include: Valerie L. Baker, MD; James H. Liu, MD; and Susan, Wysocki, RN, WHNP-BC, FAANP. The group addresses such challenging questions as:

When administering progesterone to support early pregnancy during in vitro fertilization, what protocols for initiating and continuing treatment should clinicians follow, in the absence of evidence?

What counsel should clinicians provide when confronted with patients who have concerns about hormone therapy and a desire for compounded creams?

What are the options clinicians can consider when treating an obese patient with secondary amenorrhea and multiple comorbidities?
