Dr. Braun, The doctor said the embryo failed at around 6 weeks. Is a short luteal phase a possibility for the failure at this time? I am having an ultrasound at the advice of my doctor at six weeks because of the previous blighted ovum diagnosis. Is there anything that can be done at that time if there is a problem with progesterone or short luteal phase? ( I thought that the difficulty with a short luteal phase was acheiving pregnancy-not sustainint it?) Thanks!! >This information is not intended to supplant the need for you to
