Abstract
Luteal phase and early pregnancy progesterone supplementation protocols are detailed, including indications derived from Creighton Model hormone profiles and dosing regimens for intramuscular and vaginal routes. Targeted progesterone support addresses a correctable physiological deficit identified through CrMS-guided monitoring, reducing early pregnancy loss in women with documented luteal insufficiency.
