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?

Haha how strange! Let's hope AF stays away then. Triple testing on Wednesday fingers crossed!

Had mostly creamy cm and some with a brown tinge earlier so I thought AF was nearly here. Nothing though now.

Ovia also predicts that I should test on Wednesday. I'm guessing because that will be 14dpo. We may be testing the same date.

Mascara - step away from the pee sticks!!

mrsmugoo · 10/10/2015 18:42

Mrs - as long as the spotting is brown then it's almost certainly implantation bleeding which is totally normal and nothing to worry about at all Smile

Sunshinegirl2015 · 10/10/2015 18:32

Mascara FF predicts I'll have another 11LP and get AF on Wednesday 14th.

Still nothing yet and don't feel like she's coming. DH is hopeful it's an implantation dip but I feel like my temps have just been too low in general.

Oh shary, big hugs. It's rubbish isn't it. Sounds like you could do with some clomid x

Just found out another friend is expecting at the same time as I would have been due and although I'm happy for her i just feel like why couldn't it have been me too Sad

Stupidly just took a FRER! Why?!!! Of course a bfn. Ovia says three days until testing, I'll wait until then use my cheapies and do a frer next weekend unless Af catches me first, which I'm sure she will!

Hi Ladies!

Firstly congratulations on the BFPs! :)

Mascara I've just read back- I'm SO pleased your private appointment went well! FX for you!

I've not really been posting much here because with my cycles being so long there is literally nothing to report for weeks and weeks on end. I'm really disappointed at the moment though because I ovulated on CD29 last cycle and had an LP of 12-13 days. Its CD31 now and no ovulation yet. My AFs have been kicking in on CD42/43 each time so I feel like every day I don't ovulate now I'm hurtling towards a short LP. I thought LP was fixed?! Clearly not! TTC has been really getting to me these past few weeks. I actually cried after DTD the other night because it just felt so regimented.

:(

Sunshine when is AF due normally? Fx

OP posts:
Sunshinegirl2015 · 10/10/2015 10:20

Yep take it at 06:15 on the dot orally. This is my third month temping and last two months there has been a clear temp shift after ovulation. No sign on AF yet.

Still time yet, it might shoot back up into the 36s! I'm 10dpo today, got a day ahead of myself somehow! Awake and I'm hungry...

mrsmugoo · 10/10/2015 06:39

Sunshinegirl your temps go up and down a lot! Do you take at exactly the same time every day??

Sunshinegirl2015 · 10/10/2015 06:23

Can't help but think I'm out this month and not sure what to make of temps. Only 7DPO today..don't feel like AF is coming but who can tell.

And it's been 6 weeks (cd42) since the mc now... Thought things would have started getting back to normal.

I'm pretty sure it's the mc just messing with my cycle tbh. Got no signs either way!
