Luteal Phase Defect—Luteal
phase defect occurs when there is a post-ovulation
progesterone deficiency. When this happens, uterine
lining will not be receptive to implantation, and
embryos will not attach. Acupuncture and herbs will
help regulate endocrine function so that progesterone
levels will stabilize with treatment. It is recommended
that a woman seeking acupuncture to regulate FSH levels,
and increase healthy functioning come in for treatment
every two weeks. Generally these visits should be in
sync with her cycle. Herbal treatments can be
prescribed to increase the effectiveness of acupuncture
treatments in the meantime.
