LUTEINIZED UNRUPTURED FOLLICLE

• In a small percentage of normal women, the dominant follicle will occasionally undergo the luteinization process without rupture following the mid-cycle surge
• As a result of the increased progesterone secretion, the uterine lining develops its normal characteristic changes following ovulation, but no oocyte is released and conception cannot occur. This phenomenon is called the luteinized unruptured follicle (LUF)

• Unknown etiology

• Follicular study reveals the stage
• USG - The dominant follicle increase in size and remain without releasing the ovum and thus preventing ovulation
