"The menstrual cycle is a two-act play. The first half is about preparing an egg, and the luteal phase prepares your body for pregnancy. For your system to be truly healthy, that second act needs to be long enough and strong enough."
During this time, the "corpus luteum" produces Progesterone. Progesterone is essential because it matures the uterine lining, making it stable for an embryo to implant.
In a Luteal Phase Defect (LPD), either the phase is too short (period arrives less than 10 days post-ovulation) or the progesterone is too low to maintain the uterine lining.
LPD is often a "secondary" symptom of another issue, such as high stress, thyroid dysfunction, or PCOS.
By documenting your ovulation signs and spotting patterns in Florya, our clinical engine identifies if your luteal phase is consistently short.
Signs You Might Have LPD
- Frequent Spotting Seeing brown or pink discharge for 3-5 days before your actual period begins.
- Short Cycles Consistently having cycles that are 21 to 24 days long.
- Unexplained Infertility Having difficulty conceiving despite regular ovulation.
- Early Pregnancy Loss Struggling with recurrent early miscarriages (chemical pregnancies).
