The effectiveness and safety of Chinese herbal medicine in infertile women with luteal phase deficiency: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Luteal Phase Deficiency in Regularly Menstruating Women: Prevalence and Overlap in Identification Based on Clinical and Biochemical Diagnostic Criteria
2014 Jun 01 The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism Schliep KC, Mumford SL, Hammoud AO, Stanford JB, Kissell KA, Sjaarda LA, et al.
Among ovulatory cycles (n = 463), 8.9% had clinical LPD, 8.4% had biochemical LPD, and 4.3% met both criteria. Recurrent clinical and biochemical LPD was observed in 3.4% and 2.1% of women, respectively. Clinical and biochemical LPD were associated with lower follicular estradiol (both P ≤ .001) and luteal estradiol (P = .03 and P = .02, respectively), while clinical LPD was additionally associated with lower LH and FSH across all cycle phases (P ≤ .001). The findings suggest that clinical and biochemical LPD may reflect different underlying mechanisms, and combining ovulation identification with well-timed luteal progesterone measurement could be a cost-effective and specific tool for LPD assessment by clinicians and researchers.
