“Your periods are regular—no problem here.”

✖

"Just take progesterone supplements.”

✖

“This is rare.”

NEW STORY

✔

Even with regular cycles, your second half can be too short for implantation.

✔

Supplements may help—but they don’t solve the root hormonal or stress imbalance.

✔

LPD is underdiagnosed, especially in women with stress, inflammation, or poor ovulation.

What is Luteal Phase Defect?

The luteal phase is the second half of your cycle—from ovulation to your next period. Normally, it should last 12–14 days, allowing:

Proper embryo implantation

Sustained progesterone levels

Healthy uterine lining support

But with LPD, this window is too short or too weak:

Hormonal Grid with Gradients

Ovulation happens but progesterone drops too early

Lining starts to shed before an embryo can attach

Miscarriage or failed implantation follows

How LPD Affects Fertility

Manual 3 + 2 Layout (Centered Second Row)

Periods arrive too soon after ovulation (less than 10 days)

Light spotting before periods

Implantation fails due to low progesterone

Early miscarriages due to weak luteal support

Even with fertilization, pregnancy doesn’t sustain

What Makes It Worse?

3x3 Disruptors Grid

Chronic stress → high cortisol suppresses LH and progesterone

Under-eating or over-exercising

PCOS, thyroid issues, or low AMH

Inflammatory foods and poor gut health

Lack of sleep or melatonin imbalance

High insulin → poor egg quality and luteal disruption

You don’t need a longer wait—you need a longer luteal phase.
