Luteal phase

4 replies

Hi, I have a luteal phase of 10 days .. Right of the borderline of "short".

Would love to hear from other people with 9/10 day phases ... Success stories or otherwise!

I am currently taking Pregnacare Conception tablets, not sure if I should add additional vitamin B6?

Also thinking about taking baby aspirin as I have heard this helps with implantation.

Hi! I think I might have a short luteal phase. Have temped for the first time this month and think ov might have been on 16/17 and I have a 26 day cycle. I'm interested to know what others think. I know B6 is recommended. Smile

Hi can someone please help me.... I'm not quite sure what luteal phase is?

Is it the time between you ov and AF?

Froggy2013 · 11/03/2013 11:01

Yep, exactly, time between OV and AF. It doesn't really vary (although the length between end of AF and when you OV might). 10 days is borderline requirement for implantation to occur/be maintained.

Well, my luteal phase seems to be around 9-10 days now... And I managed to get a BFP back in November, so it does happen. It didn't stick, though... Sorry not to have a more positive story to share!

I've also heard about B6, but I would've thought that this is in the Pregnacare tablets. I'm a bit cautious about taking something that could really affect my cycles...

With the baby aspirin, opinions are divided whether as to take it while ttc or start once you get a BFP. I've bought some, but because I am having blood tests done on Thursday, I haven't started it yet. My SIL took it when she fell pregnant again after a mc, and had a healthy DD. So I think I'll take it, just need to decide when to start it...
It's probably not a guarantee for success, but whatever helps!
