Abstract
A CrMS-synchronized hormone sampling protocol is detailed in which progesterone, estradiol, and other reproductive hormones are drawn at cycle-phase-specific time points defined by the charted Peak Day rather than by fixed cycle day, producing a targeted hormone profile that accurately reflects luteal and follicular function. This Peak Day-referenced approach substantially improves the diagnostic sensitivity for luteal phase deficiency, follicular dysfunction, and other endocrine abnormalities that fixed-day sampling routinely misclassifies.
