What are the possible causes of Luteal Phase Defect?
The underlying causes of luteal phase defect can be attributed to stress, pituitary imbalances, energetic blockages, improperly nourished follicles, or lack of blood flow. What is Luteal Phase Defect? When a luteal phase defect occurs, this means that the hormone progesterone isn’t produced in adequate amounts, the follicle hasn’t developed properly, or the tissue is unresponsive because of stress or other ‘environmental’ reasons, thus the uterine lining may fail to respond to the body’s progesterone output, and won’t support a pregnancy. In the case of luteal phase defect, If a lack of progesterone were the only reason for this deficit, the administration of progesterone would cure it.
