Sir,
We are truly delighted that the publication of our meta-analysis (Venetis et al., 2007
) initiated a very constructive debate with two recently published letters to the Editor by Fleming (2008)
and de Ziegler et al. (2008)
. The focus of this debate is the association between progesterone elevation on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) administration and the probability of pregnancy after in vitro fertilization
