Analysis of the Endometrial Transcriptome at the Time of Implantation in Women Receiving a Single Post-Ovulatory Dose of Levonorgestrel or Mifepristone.
Levonorgestrel (LNG) is a progesterone receptor agonist used in both regular and emergency hormonal contraception; however, its effects on the endometrium as a contraceptive remain widely unknown and under public debate. ⋯ The administration of LNG as a hormonal emergency contraceptive resulted in an endometrial gene expression profile associated with receptivity. These results agree on the concept that LNG does not affect endometrial receptivity and/or embryo implantation when used as an emergency contraceptive.
