Hi ladies

I have a short LP, about 9-10 days. Anyone else in the same boat? Have you managed to get pregnant with a short LP? Any advice would be very welcome!

I’ve stopped the pill recently but ever since have had a short luteal phase. This is my third cycle so I’ve really upped my game with the research. I’m taking vitamin C, pregnacare (was already taking it), ashwagandha as I think stress could be the cause of it - cortisol blocks progesterone receptors so it’s physically stopping it from increasing, I’ve got agnus castus that I’m going to try taking only from 2dpo (just to make sure I’ve definitely ovulated first as it can potentially alter it). Also planning to try and relax a bit (ha) 😂 Going to do meditation and yoga starting this week as I do think stress is probably the cause of it for me!

Hello!!

First post on here. I came here to try find out more about a short luteal phase. My luteal phase is 8 or 9 days. Have been tracking my cycles for over a year and have been consistently 8 or 9.

Googling can be quite grim and has me quite down hearted to be honest.

I have a normal -ish bmi (slightly over weight!) and had my thyroid checked recently and my period comes like clockwork with no spotting. So I don't tick any of the boxes google gives me.

Just wondering people with a short luteal phase, when do you take a pregnancy test? How quickly did it show for other people who have been lucky?

Any success stories would be so welcome to bring me out of this doom and gloom I seem to have got myself in....
