Short Luteal Phase

939 replies

mascaraisamust · 05/07/2015 22:57

So after 6 months of ttc I've worked out I've got a short luteal phase of 9 days, however it could be even less. I get a positive opk on day 19 and 9 days later AF appears. I'm fearing it could be less that 9 days if I ovulate 24-36 hours after a postive opk. No suprises that there hasn't been a bfp yet. I'm thinking this is my obstacle. Seems I've tried everything else. Do I go to my GP? Is there any point? On preconception vitamins with b6 in and have been in them for three months and no changes. Also AF is really painful every month, wondering if there is more to this. Any ideas? Or anyone experienced/ing similar?

I say go for it! Fx for you! If you do let us know! I dream of the day I see two lines :)

Ladies I'm thinking about doing a FRER tomorrow morning 12 dpo. Almost certain it'll be a BFN but I just feel like I need to "do" something.
Spotting appears to have halted again. I just hate this limbo. Nothing to lose, my hopes are not up!

That's good news Mascara

Sanch don't rely too heavy on temps, last month AF arrived before my temp drop. I thought I may be pregnant but kept getting BFNs. Temp didn't drop until a day after I came on so I'm a bit sceptical. The month before I had the drop so knew to expect AF. This time I wasn't prepared haha.

Thats good news then Mascara.

I hate it too, I hate the constant worry and constantly feeling under pressure with everyone constantly asking!! I really never thought it would be like this.

Ah Mrs and Sanch, it's so frustrating! You may have ovulated Sanch, never say never!

Mrs, fingers crossed that AF stays away! And that saturday flies by.

I got a flashing smily on the CB opk. Knew it! So maybe I will ovulate after all, and it would explain why there is no AF on the horizon!

lol me too! Signing up for half marathons, least I know I can run even if my body wont get pregnant!!

mrsmugoo · 29/09/2015 15:20

The downside is, I've spent a fortune online because I keep ordering things to take my mind off how stressed I am!

Sanch1 · 29/09/2015 15:00

Seems sensible, you may get a false negative before that and there's no need for possibly extra disappointment. All fingers crossed for you. Saturday isnt that far away!

mrsmugoo · 29/09/2015 14:47

Saturday is my last day of the pessaries and I was told to test then. That would be 15dpo and although I know I can technically test before then if I just wait to then I will get a final answer and if I do get a BFP then I carry on with the pessaries for the first trimester anyway.

Sanch1 · 29/09/2015 14:43

When would you be due Mrs? And I agree, its boring, and frustrating and all sorts of other crappy emotions!

Thinking about it fly I may not have ov'd until this morning, got my +ve at 7pm Sunday night, and with the 12-36 hour thing, today might be the day. Will have to try and persuade DH that we DTD quickly tonight despite his bad back and cold (manflu)!

mrsmugoo · 29/09/2015 14:31

I don't know? I kind of just want to wait til I'm actually due to test in case its a BFN and I'm in limbo.

I just HATE this.

flymo79 · 29/09/2015 14:17

sanch, could you have ov'd yesterday (monday)? fx you catch it, still time, right?
mrs, can you do a FRER at 10dpo? they are good up to four days early I thought

mrsmugoo · 29/09/2015 13:59

I just wish I could POAS!! if it's a no then I'd sigh and think onwards and upwards. Hate all the lingering around waiting.

Got TTC is bloody boring. You waste your life waiting to ovulate, waiting to test….

Sanch1 · 29/09/2015 11:10

Try to stay positive, at least its not red xx

mrsmugoo · 29/09/2015 10:43

A bit more sludgy brown spotting this morning :(

Sanch1 · 29/09/2015 09:23

How are things this morning Mrs?

I am down in the dumps this morning as temp has gone down, so I presume no ov from the +ve OPK on Sunday? So much for not stressing so much this month!

Sunshinegirl2015 · 28/09/2015 22:28

Mrs hoping it's not AF and that you get your BFP x

Ah bless him, my DH keeps asking that too.

Sanch1 · 28/09/2015 20:31

I'm trying not to stress, what will be will be! It's tough at the min, we have long term house guests. He just asked if I'd done one of those test things, so we'll see, he might man up!!

Oh no Sanch. Fingers x he's better soon!

Sanch1 · 28/09/2015 19:22

No chance of that mascara, DH has man flu. Have to hope last night was enough, and hope he's feeling better tomorrow!

Ah ok mrs, I'll take your word for it and just assume it's rubbish then! I will test again in the morning then, if it's still negative I'll save my pennies and wait for AF to appear!

mrsmugoo · 28/09/2015 17:12

Mascara - the clearblue digis say that the lines on the insert don't mean anything I.e it's not the same as a traditional opk

Thanks for your supportive words.

Just wiped again and nothing. So just a small amount of quite sludgy brown blood so far. Fingers crossed.
