Antonio Forgiarini, gynaecologist at Next Fertility Valencia, explains in this video whether it is possible to achieve a pregnancy despite an insufficient luteal phase:
Yes it's possible, especially because we don't know if luteal insufficiency is a real problem or not, especially in natural cycle because they are very variable. Normally, when we suspect this problem we can add progesterone. Progesterone is the principal hormone during the lutal phase, so we can add it during the second phase of the menstrual cycle in a natural cycle or after a reproductive treatment we usually always add progesterone during the lutal phase.
