RPC reviewer comment - Condition would be better called "Luteal phase defect" as that is when it is clinically relevant, especially in setting of miscarriage and fertility. A condition caused by low levels of Progesterone, the female hormone that controls menstruation. An imbalance in the level of progesterone affects normal egg release (ovulation) and can cause irregular periods. This is also seen as a possible risk factor in early miscarriage and difficulty getting pregnant. Known causes include anorexia, excessive exercise, obesity, diabetes or other hormonal problems (e.g. thyroid disorders).
Typical Symptoms of Luteal Insufficiency
- Difficulty getting pregnant
- Abnormal period length or flow
- Bleeding in between menstrual cycles / periods or after menopause
- Abnormal menstrual cycles e.g. too early or too late
- Short interval between periods e.g. 24 days or less
- Hardly any bleeding during periods
- History of previous miscarriage or abortion
Diagnostic Questions for Luteal Insufficiency
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are you struggling to conceive?
- Have your periods become longer or heavier than usual?
- Have you experienced vaginal bleeding or discharge outside of your periods or after menopause?
- Do you have irregular periods?
- Is your menstrual cycle less than 24 days?
Treatment of Luteal Insufficiency
Treatment may not be necessary unless planning for pregnancy. Treatment depends on the cause, such as gaining weight in anorexia or losing weight in obesity, correcting other hormonal imbalances etc. Progesterone supplementation may be required in some cases to reduce risk of miscarriage and help with fertility. A specialist consultation is advised.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.
(Sep 26, 2024)
Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
