Abstract | PURPOSE: To present reasons for luteal phase deficiency when taking controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for purposes of inducing multiple oocytes for in vitro fertilization (IVF), and to suggest strategies to overcome the defect. METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: Better methods are needed to adequately assess full correction of the luteal phase defect. In some cases the luteal phase defect associated with COH is not correctable and FSH stimulation should be reduced or all embryos frozen and defer transfer to an artificial estrogen progesterone or natural cycle.
