What types of corpus luteum deficiency are checked?

1. If the estrogen content in the blood is measured between the 18th and 28th day of the menstrual period and its content is significantly lower than normal, it indicates luteal insufficiency.

2. Use ultrasound to detect the ovulation period. The time from ovulation to menstruation should be about 14 days. If it is less than 12 days, it means that the corpus luteum is insufficient.

3. Accurately measuring the body temperature during ovulation is the simplest method, but also the least accurate method. Measure the body temperature every morning, then record it and put it on the temperature sheet.

4. Curettage is performed on the 26th day of the menstrual cycle to take a sample of the uterine wall for histological examination. If the uterine wall metabolism is poor or lags behind the endometrium of two days after the curettage day, it is considered to be corpus luteum deficiency.

Corpus luteum insufficiency does not always mean that the endocrine effect of the progesterone produced by the uterus and ovaries after ovulation is insufficient, resulting in insufficient estrogen metabolism, insufficient metabolic conversion of the uterine wall, ovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and unfavorable implantation of the embryo combined with sperm and egg, which can cause infertility or habitual abortion.
