Summary

In episode 631, Lisa explores luteinized unruptured follicle syndrome (LUFS) β€” a lesser-known ovulatory dysfunction in which the dominant follicle fails to rupture and release the egg despite a normal-appearing LH surge and progesterone rise. Because LUFS can mimic a textbook ovulatory cycle on a fertility awareness chart, it represents one of the more challenging silent contributors to unexplained infertility that practitioners may encounter in clinical practice. This episode offers fertility awareness practitioners essential clinical context for supporting clients with apparently ovulatory charts who continue to face unexplained fertility challenges.
