Infertility is a social problem affecting 10-15% of couples, which is why it is so important that doctors have access to up-to-date and verified knowledge. This issue is devoted to diagnostics, which should be started as soon as possible. Attention was drawn to the possibility of performing certain diagnostic tests in the field of basic gynecological care without the need to consult a center for assisted reproduction. An example is the examination of the patency of the fallopian tubes using the so-called high-contrast hysterosalpingography, which can be successfully performed in any gynecological office equipped with an ultrasound machine.

The publication also discusses the basics of pathophysiological disorders of the luteal phase, with particular emphasis on the potential role of progesterone and various schemes for administering progesterone preparations depending, inter alia, on the hormone concentration in serum. Among specialists dealing with infertility, this topic is currently widely discussed due to the lack of clear guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of luteal phase insufficiency.

One of the most serious problems of modern reproductive medicine, which is recurrent miscarriages due to limited therapeutic options, was also addressed in this issue. The article presents a scheme for the use of gonadotropins aimed at increasing the thickness and - potentially - the quality of the endometrium, which is an interesting alternative that can be carried out in the gynecological office in everyday practice.
