Luteal Phase Support

Meaning

Luteal Phase Support is a standard clinical intervention, most often involving the exogenous administration of progesterone or a progestogen, designed to optimize the hormonal environment of the second half of the menstrual cycle following ovulation. The primary goal of this support is to ensure adequate endometrial receptivity for implantation and to maintain the early stages of pregnancy by sustaining the uterine lining. It is a fundamental practice in all cycles of assisted reproductive technology (ART) and in the management of recurrent pregnancy loss.
