Short Luteal Phase #2

[mascaraisamust]

For all things luteal phase, join us!

If you have a short one, have managed to extend one or haven't even a clue what one even is, here is a friendly bunch of ladies for all things TTC related!

Thank you for the welcome. This is cycle three for me.

Mrsunsure I have had a miscarriage and, for me at any rate, my LP stayed the same. Sorry.

Mrsunsure my LP stayed the same too. Have heard others say it has changed for them but even my ovulation date was spot on!

Mrsmugoo, Ahhh. Can't wait to have a belly bump!

So I'm freezing cold, have been all week. As in trembling cold. Got some Corsodyl for my mouth ulcers and apart from the soreness nothing going on here.

Hi ginfuzz, are you ttc #1? I had a 9 day LP x

Mrsunsure I'm mega thirsty in the night too. Got a 2-3 weeks on CB yesterday and a 3+ today on my last test so I think I can stop now feel different to last time, a lot more cramping, shooting pains. Got teary yesterday because we'd been out too long shopping poor DH!

AF arrived for me this morning. How's everyone else doing?

Mascara, these all sound like really good signs, fx for you.

Sorry for AF Sunshine, how long was your LP this time?

I've ordered the Fertilaid ready for next cycle, really hoping it'll give me my christmas BFP. x

12days again so I'm happy with that at least. Not sure what it's down the to but originally it was 9/10 days.

Also light and no pain for third month in a row! So I've not had to use the codeine the doctor gave me!

I also have a date for my second scan to see if the fluid is still in my pelvis.

You'll have to let us know how the fertilaid is!

Hello, sorry, I should have said, but I have one DC (6 months old). As well as a short LP, I have endometriosis so I am expecting it to take a while to conceive again (and even then, I am realistic about the prospect of miscarrying again).

On the plus side, I have done everything possible to time dtd well this month and I took loads of evening primrose oil which really helped me last time. Now I am convincing myself of all kinds of symptoms, which will inevitably make this week all the harder when AF arrives.

GinFuzz, did you have a short LP with your 1st? Were you able to conceive naturally?

I'm so obsessed with this whole ttc thing and can't help getting so stressed with it all, I'm aware its making me moody and snappy which I never used to be, thats another reason I need to book this trip to feel like myself again (and give poor DH a break from this horrible version of me) Mrsunsure, if you're able to relax until after xmas sounds like a great idea Leading up to xmas now I'm going to start enjoying a few glasses of wine at wkends and social events again and try not to make ttc my whole purpose.

Sunshine12. Get out and enjoy yourself. Don't let it rule your life. It's so easy done. You are on the right road to getting answers. I still swear by Preseed and dtd after ovulation. You given it a go?

Sorry AF got you sunshine15, hope you've made up for it this weekend x

Ginfuzz when you due to test? Fingers crossed for you!

Mascara, we have been using Conceive Plus. I'm 2dpo today so do you think should DTD again tonight? We were doing SMEP so DTD 3 days from +OPK, were going to have break tonight and try once more tomor.

AF is due on Thursday but I am going to try to get a FRER and test on Wednesday.

I only started tracking my cycles/ovulation/LP last year and it has always been the same. I did originally think that I had a 10 day LP, but my 12 week scan showed she had been conceived a day later than I thought.

As well as opks and charting, I have painful ovulation due to endometriosis, so I can be quite certain to within 12 hours of when I ovulate.

Last year I got pregnant twice and although I miscarried once, both were conceived naturally. When ttc the second time and at the moment, I used 3000mg of evening primrose oil from the start of my cycle until ovulation.

I'd go again sunshine! Both my bfps have been after a positive ovulation test and I know that as we didn't dtd before the positive with dH being away. Tried for 3 days after a positive. Maybe if conceive plus doesn't work switch it up for next cycle. Some people swear by conceive plus and others have said that they've had no luck with it and tried preseed and it's worked.

Best of luck ginfuzz, if you know what works for you that's a good start x

A positive opk means you're about to ovulate with 12-48 hours. The month we conceived we only managed to dtd the day before the solid smiley and 2 days later. I got temp rise on the 3rd morning after the solid smiley. Who knows whether it was the first time or the second time but I strongly suspect it was the second!

When I got pregnant I dtd on the first day of a positive opk and the next two days. However, ICs show a positive line the day before Clearblue gives me a solid smiley (I use both) and I ovulate the day after the second solid smiley.

I got positive OPKs on thurs and fri and have DTD weds to sunday so hopefully have it covered x

Those timings sound spot on sunshinegirl - hope your 2ww goes speedy!

Oh sunshine that sounds like you have a great chance. If only the 2ww wasn't so long, although I suppose one silver lining of a short LP is that it isn't as long for us as it is for others.

DH got his SA back today, all good thankfully x

Yes Mrsunsure and I am really hopeful that I am again, although I can't test until later in the week.
