11 day luteal phase

Hi, so I’ve been off contraception since June, I fell pregnant after about 6 weeks but unfortunately the pregnancy ended in miscarriage at 6 weeks. I’ve been reading a lot online about the luteal phase. My luteal phase is only 11 days and I have a 26 day cycle, I’ve read that anything under a 10 day luteal phase can be considered a fertility problem and can cause miscarriage. And 12-14 is considered normal. So I’m right in the middle of short and “Normal”. I just want to hear other people’s stories on having an 11 day luteal phase and if people done anything to try and lengthen their luteal phase. .

TIA

I have a 9/10 LP. It took me 7 months to fall pregnant and I had an emc. I was taking loads of supplements in the end: high vitamin C, high levels of B6, eating organic - it got silly! I had my bloods done to check I was ovulating and my progesterone levels were low hence why an onset of my period, the sperm even if implanted would never have chance to implant long enough for a viable pregnancy as my progesterone levels were already dropping. My gp didn't have time of day for my short luteal phase/low progesterone theory so I got the day 3/21 bloods done through the go and then paid for a private consultation. After explaining it to a private consultant he immediately understood the issue and prescribed cyclogest to take after ovulation and I got pregnant shortly after and went on to full term. It might have been coincidence, maybe I would have gone on to carry full term anyway but I'm looking to ttc #2 soon with a 9/10 LP and I will definitely be getting cyclogest again. Aside this I stopped taking the multitude of vitamins (as they were confusing my body that doing good), I just took a conception vitamin. Hope this helps.
