When viewing images, REMEMBER to adjust the brightness and contrast controls of your monitor.  Otherwise you may lose information.

This is an example of normal blood flow surrounding a corpus luteum.  See how "robust" the flow appears.  In real-time, "robust" flow was noted around virtually the entire periphery of the corpus luteum.

This is an example of abnormal blood flow surrounding a corpus luteum.  See how "anemic" the flow appears.  In real-time, abnormally low flow was noted around the entire periphery of the corpus luteum.  This finding may be associated with unsuccessful cycles, unsuccessful pregnancies, habitual spontaneous aborters and luteal phase defects.  In my experience, this finding is of significant predictive value.
