Thirty six gilts were superovulated. The progesterone content was significantly correlated with the number of ovulation points (corpus luteum) (r1=0.4441, p0.01). There was no statistically significant correlation between progesterone level and the number of collected embryos (r20.05), but progesterone level was strongly correlative with the number of three to eight- cell embryos (r3=0.6692, p0.01). So, the progesterone content could be, to a certain extent, considered a parameter of embryonic stage
