title: [Luteal insufficiency and sterility].
abstract: Luteal insufficiency is badly defined, and shows up with difficulty as a definite syndrome, and, although regarded by some as a frequent cause of hypofertility, is found by others in 3% of cases only. The author attempts to establish objective criteria for luteal insufficiency and to evaluate the proposed therapy, emphasising that the apparent good results are difficult to authenticate in the absence of a control series.
