Abstract
Disruptions along the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis — including luteal phase deficiency, inadequate LH surges, and follicular maturation failure — are among the most common and underdiagnosed contributors to infertility and recurrent pregnancy loss. Targeted hormone supplementation guided by cycle-specific progesterone and estradiol assays, timed to CrMS biomarkers, restores functional ovulatory and luteal competence without suppressing the axis.
