    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive endocrinology and infertility research.
    • Clinical nursing and patient support in reproductive health.

    Background:

    • Infertility affects 15% of reproductive-aged individuals.
    • Luteal phase defect (LPD) is linked to primary infertility and recurrent miscarriage in ~35% of cases.
    • LPD involves insufficient progesterone production by the corpus luteum.

    Observation:

    • The study examines clinical manifestations of luteal phase defect.
    • Nursing interventions and patient education are crucial for managing LPD.
    • A case study illustrates the application of these interventions.

    Findings:

    • Supplemental progesterone therapy before implantation and into early pregnancy is effective.
    • This therapy significantly improves successful pregnancy outcomes.
    • Nurses play a vital role in patient care and support.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and intervention for LPD can enhance fertility.
    • Progesterone supplementation offers a viable treatment for LPD-related infertility and miscarriage.
    • Integrated nursing care improves patient management and outcomes in reproductive medicine.
