← Human Body & HealthWhy does lower progesterone during the luteal phase sometimes result in difficulty sustaining early pregnancy?
A)Increased LH receptor downregulation occurs
B)There is higher natural killer activity
C)Endometrial decidualization process is incomplete✓
D)Follicle stimulating hormone is decreased rapidly
💡 Explanation
Inadequate progesterone compromises endometrial decidualization, a crucial step for implantation and placental development. Therefore, successful implantation is hindered, because the endometrium is not prepared. This is due to inadequate corpus luteum function, rather than altered LH activity.
