	Luteal phase defect - Evanston Northwestern Healthcare (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Luteal phase defect is when there is inadequate secretion or action of the hormone progesterone during the menstrual cycle.
		The concept of luteal phase defect is controversial, and its role in infertility is uncertain.
		Traditionally, a biopsy of the endometrium is the standard for diagnosing luteal phase defect.

		When the luteal phase is shorter than normal the implantation of a fertilized egg cannot happen which in turn results in apparent infertility.
		Sixty cases of infertility due to luteal phase defect were treated with herbs to tonify the kidney and regulate the menstrual cycle.
		After the treatment, the hyperthermal phase score of basal body temperature (BBT) was markedly increased (P less than 0.05), the hyperthermal phase 7-8 days after ovulation improved (P less than 0.001), the transitional period of BBT remarkably shortened, and the pregnancy rate in 32 uncomplicated cases of luteal phase defect was 56%.

	Fertility-Facts.com ~ Luteal Phase
		The luteal phase, also referred to as 'days past ovulation' or 'DPO', is the portion of the cycle that begins at ovulation and ends the day before your next period.
		The luteal phase is named after the corpus luteum (Latin: "yellow body"), a structure that grows on the surface of the ovary where a mature egg was released at ovulation.
		The only way to determine the exact length of your luteal phase is through hormone-specific blood tests, however fertility charting can help you to determine the length of your luteal phase with a good degree of accuracy.

	Emerson Ecologics - Vitamin C Increases Fertility in Women with Luteal Phase Defect
		The menstrual cycle is divided into two phases: the follicular phase, beginning at the onset of menses and ending at ovulation; and the luteal phase, beginning at ovulation and ending with the onset of menses.
		The follicular phase is marked by rising estrogen levels, while progesterone is the predominant hormone in the luteal phase.
		Luteal phase defect is a hormonal disorder marked by insufficient progesterone levels during the luteal phase, resulting in menstrual disorders, infertility, and recurrent miscarriages.

	Medical Encyclopedia: Luteal phase defect (Print Version)
		The luteal phase is the time between ovulation and the start of the next menstrual cycle.
		Luteal phase defects affect about 3 to 4% of women with infertility, and up to 5% in women with a history of repeated miscarriages.
		However, luteal phase defects can be found in up to 30% of menstrual cycles of otherwise healthy women.

		Progesterone injections or gel (Crinone) are often used when luteal phase defect is suspected.
		If there is evidence that low FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) is present with luteal phase defects, clomiphene citrate may also be used.

		The luteal phase refers to the span of time in the menstrual cycle between ovulation and the onset of the next menses.
		When a luteal phase is less than 10 days, a pregnancy cannot be sustained because there is not enough progesterone being produced.
		Progesterone supplementation during the luteal phase is normally the correct treatment if it is conclusive that the follicle development is normal.

	Luteal Phase Deficiency · LPD
		The time from the onset of the period to ovulation is known as the "follicular phase," a time characterized by estrogen production and follicular growth (a follicle is an area in the ovary where an egg grows).
		The time from ovulation to onset of the next period is known as the "luteal phase," during which the "corpus luteum" (yellow body; the area where the egg was released) makes progesterone.
		Some experts believe that luteal phase deficiency (a short luteal phase, insufficient progesterone production by the corpus luteum, or poor responsiveness of the endometrium to normal progesterone levels) may cause infertility; others believe that while LPD occurs occasionally, it is unlikely to be a persistent cause of infertility.

	RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association: Treatment of Infertility: Luteal Phase Defect
		Luteal phase defect occurs when the endometrium is inadequately prepared, either because the secretion of Progesterone by the ovary is below normal or because the endometrium isn't responding to the normal stimulation by Progesterone.
		In contrast, if the difference between the dating of the biopsy and the menstrual date differs by more than two days, the endometrium is said to be "out of phase;" in other words, a luteal phase defect is present.
		Because sporadic cycles with luteal phase defect can occur in any woman, a definitive diagnosis is made by two out-of-phase biopsies.

	Luteal Phase
		The Luteal Phase is a term that is used in describing the time period that's calculated from the day after ovulation and runs through the remainder of a monthly cycle.
		Since a woman's luteal phase is very consistent you may watch the length of your luteal phase to identify success in conception.
		For example, if your luteal phase is usually 12 days and never more than 13 and you are at day 15 of your luteal phase and menstrual period has not arrived, there is a very good possibility that pregnancy has occurred.

	Luteal Phase
		The luteal phase is the time from ovulation until the next menstrual flow: during this time, the lining of the uterus is prepared to be supportive of the fertilized egg.
		An abnormal luteal phase, defined as less than 10 days length and/or less than adequate development of the endometrial lining taken by endometrial biopsy can be improved by (1) progesterone supplementation (oral, injection, or vaginal suppository therapy, beginning the days following a positive urine ovulation detect kit test); 2.

		The luteal phase (or secretory phase) is the latter phase of the estrous cycle in animals, and the menstrual cycle in humans and great apes.
		The main hormone controlling this stage is progesterone, which is significantly higher during the luteal phase then during other phases of the cycle.
		Some sources define the end of the luteal phase to be a distinct "ischemic phase".

		If the level is low, there is probably an inadequate luteal phase; however, a normal progesterone level does not exlude the diagnosis of inadequate luteal phase.
		Treatment of inadequate luteal phase consists of either progesterone replacement or an ovulation induction agent such as clomiphene citrate.

		Studies regarding cell adhesion molecules or integrins, growth factors, and cytokines are all in the experimental phase.

		The overall conclusion is that luteal phase dysfunction (LPD) does exist, but the endometrial biopsy is not sufficient to diagnose the defect.

	Women's Health: What is Premenstrual Syndrome
		Premenstrual syndrome (PMS, or Late Luteal Phase Dysphoric Disorder) is a cluster of symptoms, comprising physical and emotional changes, associated with the second part of menstrual cycle.
		The essential feature of PMS is a cyclic pattern of severe emotional and behavioral symptoms occurring typically during the last week of the luteal phase and remitting within a few days after the onset of follicular phase (i.e., symptoms begin one week before and remit within a few days after the onset of menstruation).
		In most menstrual cycles during the past year, symptoms occurred during the last week of the luteal phase and remitted within a few days of after onset of the follicular phase.

	Luteal support with progesterone vs. HCG
		The luteal phase is the day after ovulation to the day before the menstrual flow.
		It is also known as the secretory phase because the progesterone will cause some more thickening of the endometrium as well as vascularization of the endometrium in case of a pregnancy.
		HCG increases post-peak or luteal phase progesterone AND estradiol and prolongs the post-peak or luteal phase.

	luteal phase defect
		First, your luteal phase is the time between ovulation and the start of your period.
		Your luteal phase is unknown unless you know for sure on which day you ovulated during this cycle, however, the "average" luteal phase length is 14 days, but it can be as little as 10 or as much as 16 days and still be "normal".
		A luteal phase less than 10 days is called "luteal phase defect" as there is not enough time for the egg to be fertilized, travel through the fallopian tubes, properly implant and begin secreting the pregnancy hormone (which keeps your period from starting).
