50mg clomid (clomiphene) has corrected luteal phase defect. once this medication is discontinued will the luteal phase defect return?

Defect or no defect: Many don't believe that luteal phase defect actually exists. Usually people with a diagnosed luteal phase defect actually have problem with growing a healthy egg. Remember the egg and its associated cells determine the length of the luteal phase.
