A member asked:
Can a persistent corpus luteum cause an increase in progesterone beyond normal post-ovulatory levels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Since a corpus luteum has the capacity (and the function) to produce progesterone, it's certainly possible for it to produce Progesterone beyond the normal post-ovulatory levels.
