Endometrial dating (Noyes et al. Fertility and sterility 1950)

Proliferative phase - straight/edema/coiled
Early secretory phase (POD 2-5)
    2: Uniform subnuclear vacuolization (≥50%),
        pseudostratification
, frequent mitoses
    3: subnuclear vacuole+, nuclear uniformity, scattered mitoses
    4: luminal vacuole+, rare mitoses
    5: infrequent vacuole, secretion
Midsecretory phase (POD 6-8): no vacuole, no decidua
    6: prominent secretion
 7: early stromal edema
 8: maximal stromal adema
Late secretory phase (POD 9-14)
 9: spiral artery prominent
 10: periarterial predecidua
 11: islands of predecidua
 12: coalescent predecidua
 13: confluent decidua, granulocytes prominent
 14: extravasation
Menstruation - Crumbing of stroma, thrombi

Considering as out-of-phase a delay of 3 days or more.
Recent study suggests that simple histological evaluation is
not a valid measure of the quality of luteal function or endometrial receptivity.
Would be useful to exclude neoplasm or infection.
