OBJECTIVE Histologically documented luteal-phase defects (LPD) have been detected in 20-40% of women with recurrent spontaneous abortions. In 28 patients with recurrent spontaneous abortions, luteal-phase serum progesterone (P) levels (days 19, 21, 23, 25) and endometrial biopsies were evaluated. METHODS On the basis of endometrial biopsy findings, the patients were separated into two groups: Group 1, recurrent spontaneous abortions with LPDs (n = 18); and Group 2, recurrent spontaneous abortions with normal biopsies (n = 7). The data are shown in the table below. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that the P values found in Group 1 were significantly lower than those in Group 2, almost throughout the luteal phase. The results also indicate a close relationship between the P profile in the luteal phase and endometrial biopsy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008183 Luteal Phase The period in the MENSTRUAL CYCLE that follows OVULATION, characterized by the development of CORPUS LUTEUM, increase in PROGESTERONE production by the OVARY and secretion by the glandular epithelium of the ENDOMETRIUM. The luteal phase begins with ovulation and ends with the onset of MENSTRUATION.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D004717 Endometrium The mucous membrane lining of the uterine cavity that is hormonally responsive during the MENSTRUAL CYCLE and PREGNANCY. The endometrium undergoes cyclic changes that characterize MENSTRUATION. After successful FERTILIZATION, it serves to sustain the developing embryo. Endometria
