Dr. McIntosh (or other),

Thanks for your response. I think I ovulate around day 9 or 10, so hopefully I do not have a luteal phase problem. Not sure why I had low progesterone.

Question: Do women with luteal phase defects tend to miscarry very early, before the baby can even develop? Or can they carry on into the 9 or 10th week? Is there any general pattern to miscarriages that result from low progesterone or luteal phase problems?

Thanks again for your willingness to answer questions.
