Luteal Phase Support with Progesterone
Optimising the luteal phase to support implantation and early pregnancy.
Overview
About this treatment
The luteal phase — the second half of your menstrual cycle, from ovulation to menstruation — is critical for successful implantation and early pregnancy. Progesterone, produced by the corpus luteum after ovulation, prepares the uterine lining to receive and sustain an embryo. Luteal phase deficiency, where progesterone levels are insufficient or the phase is too short, is an underrecognised cause of difficulty conceiving and early pregnancy loss. Our doctors specialise in identifying and correcting luteal phase insufficiency with targeted progesterone support.
Our Approach
How we help
- Comprehensive assessment of luteal phase length and progesterone levels through timed blood tests
- Identification of underlying causes including thyroid dysfunction, hyperprolactinaemia, and ovulatory disorders
- Personalised progesterone supplementation protocols — oral, vaginal, or injectable — tailored to your cycle and clinical needs
- Coordination with your fertility specialist or IVF team to align luteal support with your treatment cycle
- Ongoing monitoring of progesterone levels and cycle response to optimise dosing
- Lifestyle and nutritional strategies to support corpus luteum function naturally
