TL;DR: Oral micronized progesterone is efficacious in the treatment of luteal phase defects and the majority of patients preferred the oral formulation over the vaginal route of administration.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE : Vaginal progesterone suppositories are an accepted treatment for infertility attributed to luteal phase defects. Although oral micronized progesterone may be preferable to suppositories for many patients, there are no studies on its use for patients with luteal phase defects. This study evaluated the efficacy of oral micronized progesterone for the treatment of luteal phase defects. STUDY DESIGN : Seven women with luteai phase defects previousily corrected by vaginal suppositories were administered oral micronize progesterone (200 mg by mouth three times a day). Endometrial biopsies were performed to evaluate treatment efficacy. Questionnaires were used to assess side effects, including sedation. RESUITS : On oral micronized progesterone, all patients had in-phase endometrial biopsies. Despite complaints of drowsiness, the majority of patients preferred the oral formulation over the vaginal route of administration. CONCLUSION : We conclude that oral micronized progesterone is efficacious in the treatment of luteal phase defects. (J Reprod Med 1995 ;40 :521-524)

TL;DR: An infertile woman had segmental defects of the proximal ampullae of both fallopian tubes that appeared similar to that of bilateral tubal electrosurgical sterilization at laparoscopy.
Abstract: An infertile woman had segmental defects of the proximal ampullae of both fallopian tubes. At laparoscopy, its appearance was similar to that of bilateral tubal electrosurgical sterilization. We believe this is the first description of this congenital anomaly.
