The luteal phase plays a very important role in the process of conception. Luteal support is indicated if the luteal phase is defective, to prevent the risk of difficulty conceiving or miscarriage.

The luteal phase is the second half of the menstrual cycle, starting after ovulation and ending with the next menstrual period. A short luteal phase has been linked to difficulty conceiving and early pregnancy loss. The luteal phase is an important part of not only your fertility, but also your overall health.

If you have difficulty conceiving or are pregnant but miscarry, one of the possible causes is a luteal phase defect (luteal insufficiency). This is a condition that causes disruption of the menstrual cycle. Although scientists have debated whether this is the direct cause of infertility, there is no way to test this hypothesis.

The monthly menstrual phenomenon will appear when women enter puberty and plays an important role in reproductive health. Therefore, women need to equip themselves with knowledge about menstrual physiology to help monitor and control their health at this stage.
