TTC with short luteal phase. Anyone else?

Currently TTC#3. Cycles have been wonky since stopping BF my youngest 4 months ago. I’ve only had 2 periods in that time and the last one lasted over 2 weeks!

I’m not looking for advice per se because I think it’s just a case of waiting for things to settle down again, but is anyone else out there TTC and dealing with a short LP? Want to hang out?

I’m currently on CD39 and I think about 5DPO. Last LP was only 6 days and the one before that 3, but I’m not feeling “periody” yet so fx this one will be a bit longer again.

Hi MrsY! Glad to hear from someone in the same boat. It’s so frustrating, isn’t it? I’m not a patient person by nature haha!

My DC are nearly 3 and 1, both conceived easily, though I had similar problems after stopping BF DC1. It took 3-4 months to regulate last time so I’m heading into unchartered territory here.

How old are your DC? How are you feeling about the prospect of having 3? I’m nervous about it but we’ve decided to go for it! I don’t want too big a gap for work reasons.

I'm also ttc#3 since stopping bf about 3m ago. I'm on cycle 3 since then but they have been 30 days, 24 days and now on CD29 but never got a static smiley and gave up testing on CD21 after 11 flashing ones so no idea how long this cycle will be.

My LP also seems to be fairly short 10 days and 8 days so far which isn't ideal. Hoping it will lengthen soon, although when ttc#2 it was only 10-11 days and I managed to get pregnant so hopefully it will get back to that consistently.

I've had backache and feeling periody the past few days but not sure what to expect as no idea if or when I ovd

How old are your DC? Were they both conceived easily?
