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?

Just popping up to say I'm still lurking!
CD30, no signs of ovulation, crossing everything for a good luteal phase.
Hope everyone is okay xxx

I had brown discharge from 10dpo for about a week. I got my BFP on 12dpo.
Fingers crossed for you Mrs, sounds promising!!

sunshinegirl12 · 09/10/2015 20:21

5 days, very light brown spotting and then it disappeared! It was when my AF should have been due x

I was 14dpo. I've got some cheapies so I might test tomorrow. Not getting my hopes up though!

Mrsunsure! Congrats you! A line is a line! Do it with FMU tomorrow!

A very lucky thread indeed 3 bfps in a few weeks!

Mascara, how many dpo were you when you got your BFP before? If no AF tomorrow I would be very tempted to test x

sunshinegirl12 · 09/10/2015 19:23

Oh wow, a BFP!! This thread seems to be lucky at the moment. How many dpo are you? I think it is quite commen to get a bit of brown discharge at the start, so fingers crossed this is your lucky monthSmile congrats x

No AF, strange I was certain it was coming as I had light tummy pain. Still creamy CM, if it doesn't come tonight then I've made it past 9dpo!

Got my letter from the private consulatation that they've sent to my gp. Bloods to do are prolactin, amh, vitamin and calcium levels, fsh and LH so if you ever want to know what to test for! Between cd2-7.

Sunshine smell was my first symptom, I have a terrible sense of smell.

I don't feel like AF is coming and I don't feel pregnant. Not sure when I'd test.

Sanch sit back and relax, wishing you all the best! X

Well you never know sunshine Smile its a good excuse to eat lots anyway, just in case.

I know what you mean about symptom spotting, I've had a really strong sense of smell since yesterday which I've not had before, I'm getting annoyed with myself as I know its far too early and just don't have a good feeling about this month anymore. I've been thinking about it all day and got myself into a really grumpy mood, need to pull myself together before DH gets home x

Sunshinegirl2015 · 09/10/2015 16:25

How's everyone else doing today? 6DPO here. Wet creamy CF this morning with temp 0.02C above coverline.

I know it's super early for any symptoms so not sure why but I've had three lunches today on top of breakfast this morning (shredded wheat with hot milk). Courgetti and avocado, then was still hungry so had a cheese and spinach omelette and then still hungry so have just had beans and cheese on toast! I start work soon and worried I'll be hungry again haha. How random. Although I seem to get some odd symptom or another every month so not thinking its a pending BFP just random.

Sanch1 · 09/10/2015 10:56

Oooh I dont know if I'm brave enough for that yet! I'm usually more of a lurker on MN, this is the most involved I've ever been on a thread!

mrsmugoo · 09/10/2015 09:56

Congrats again sanch - are you joining the June antenatal thread?

Sanch1 · 09/10/2015 09:01

Thanks all! Did a digi this morning and got Pregnant 1-2 so now I can believe it. I'm quite an anxious pregnant person though, always doubting, so I'm not dancing on the ceiling yet! We're on holiday next week so I'm going to make a GP appointment for when I get back. Oh, and I have a half marathon to run next weekend! lol

Mascara, sorry that AF seems on its way, but at least if it is you can get started on your treatment. I'm sure you'll have a BFP before Christmas x

Don't lose hope yet sunshine, I am a case in point that charts dont always get it right!
