Can I get pregnant naturally if I have luteal phase deficiency?

If you are unable to conceive, there may be an underlying medical issue, such as luteal insufficiency. The name derives from the corpus luteum, which forms from the egg cell after ovulation and releases the hormone progesterone. Luteal phase deficiency occurs when the corpus luteum is insufficiently developed and therefore cannot release enough progesterone. Luteal phase deficiency is one of the most common causes of unfulfilled desire to have children. The luteal hormone is not only responsible for building up the uterine lining, but also ensures optimal implantation of the embryo. However, luteal insufficiency often goes undetected. If luteal insufficiency is diagnosed, it can be treated very effectively. This significantly improves the chances of getting pregnant despite luteal insufficiency!

Corpus luteum insufficiency: A Detailed Explanation

How do I determine if I have luteal phase deficiency?

With OvulaRing, you can accurately and objectively identify luteal phase deficiency. OvulaRing uses your core body temperature, measured continuously via the vagina, to pinpoint ovulation with great precision and directly indicates the length of the second phase of your cycle.

In addition, your gynecologist may measure your blood progesterone levels once or twice during the second phase of your cycle.

If the hormone test is performed too early, it can easily lead to misdiagnoses. OvulaRing is already being used successfully by many gynecologists to diagnose and treat luteal phase deficiency more accurately than before.
