Do low progesterone levels cause implantation failure?

By Zaira Salvador B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

Yes. Progesterone has a key role in maturing the uterine lining for embryo implantation. Low levels of progesterone after ovulation (i.e. luteal phase deficiency) might lead to implantation failure.
