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!

Thanks fuzzy and sunshine. No cramps, one instance of bleeding that was just about too much for a pantyliner, otherwise nothing. Gone completely now. I will go for my bloods still but try and remember what happened . I'm driving home for Christmas on Tuesday so really today (CD4, possibly) is my only opportunity.

Fingers crossed mrsrose that now you have more information the progesterone will really help - it really seems to have helped other ladies on here xx

Sunshine, you're not out yet, it could even be an anomoly. When is AF due? x

Could it be an implantation dip sunshine? x

I have just checked my records and I have had implantation bleeding on CD12 and CD9. So I would say it could well be an implantion dip and to not lose hope yet. I haven't ever taken my temps in a month that I have got pregnant but I am sure the bleeding must occur around the same time as both are about implantation.

Glad you are going for your bloods today Oriana and I hope this is the start of your cycle.

I stopped temping after ov every time - too stressful watching temps every day - after ov whatever will be, will be!

Thanks still staying positive although now spotting. Bit more than usual but not enough to be AF. Usually I spot for a day or two before AF arrives.

Hopeful it was an Implantation dip. Fertility friend reckons I'm due Wednesday 23rd so to be spotting now if AF was coming would be about right for me.

Thanks everyone for the positive vibes :) It seems they are progesterone pessaries so hopefully they will work for me. Although I still feel something weird is going on inside this month and I did have a temp dip yesterday which has gone back up today so trying to feel realistically positive that something might have happened. Prescription is for 3 months so I will go back to her in March - hopefully with a bfp already!! I'm curious how long my LP will be this month - FF thinks I'm due on Christmas Day (which will be 11 days) so it'll either be the best or worst day ever!

Sunshine I'm with the others, it could be a good sign and you're not out yet! Fx for you!

They've worked for two of us first time mrsrose! Fingers crossed!

Mrsrose, I definitely think you will get lucky with the progesterone, fx.

Well I think I'm probably out again this month, I'm 8dpo and due AF xmas eve but this afternoon felt a bit like AF had arrived tho when went to the loo just a tiny bit of spotting, and had light period pains and sicky feeling, exactly the same as I do when AF arrives. Hopefully the Fertilaid hasn't made my luteal phase even shorter than it already was!! x

AF has arrived. Too heavy to be spotting and it's red. Plus I have cramps and lower back ache and weak thighs. 9 day luteal phase this cycle. Not sure what's up as had 9, 10, 11, 12, 12 and now a 9 day LP again. I though LP wasn't meant to change?

Eating chocolate with a hot water bottle. On to the next cycle. At least I can enjoy a cheeky mulled wine or two this Christmas x

Sorry to hear that Sunshine, our bodies do play tricks on us don't they x

Oh no! Sorry to hear that Sunshine2015 :(

Sunshine12, that could be implantation spotting potentially? Not sure how long your lp is normally though of course x

Thanks both. I still have hope for the rest of you to get Xmas bfps!

DH still thinks we're in. He's googling implantation dips and bleeds haha.

Mrsrose, as much as I would love to think it was implantation it just feels too similar to how I feel before AF. If AF does arrive that will be a year of trying.. sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get to see those 2 little lines. but for now I'm going to keep praying for a christmas miracle[santa]

Sunshine how long have you been TTC I can't remember

We started in January so a year, is that the same for you?

Yeah last new year.

Oh Sunshinegirl2015, I hope it is implantation bleeding. Both times I have had it included proper cramps and really thinking it as AF (so much so that I assumed I was out the following month and kept on ttc 😂). I shall keep everything crossed for you.

Unless AF arrives in the meantime, I have decided I will test on Thursday and Friday. I think AF is due on Friday but only because I ovulated earlier than usual so my dates might be all wrong this cycle.

Sorry sunshines enjoy christmas, try and relax at xmas and try to forget about ttc. Throw out the opks, temp sticks and just get back to folic. GL fuzzy x

Argh, temp dropped again today and I have suspiciously af like cramps. Only 9dpo so I'm hoping I'm wrong :( If my lp is shorter than 11 days this month that'll be the shortest it's ever been. No spotting yet though at least...

Hope you get to 11 days Mrsr, 11 is really good! I got a strong bfp on 12dpo and implantation bleeding from 10dpo so you'd be in for a fighting chance with 11 day LP.

I did another test just because my spotting stopped completely after a few days and I can see a very very very faint line (doesn't even show up in photos). DH and my best friend can't see anything. I suspect I am making things up and setting myself up for real disappointment but I'm still unreasonably excited, will test again tomorrow. My temps have dropped so it seems unlikely but I swear I can see something.

Oh Oriana, I have everything crossed and it all sounds exactly like me last year when I was pregnant.

9dpo and cramps could still be implantation mrsr.

How are you today Sunshine2015 and Sunshine12?

Thanks mrsmugoo and FuzzyOwl :)

Oooh got everything crossed for you Oriana!!
