Short luteal phase - how short is too short?

[Penguino888]

Hi everyone! Hoping someone may be able to shed some light.

My cycle has been varying between 24-28 days but has been 24 days for the last 3 cycles with ovulation on day 14.

I have been a bit worried about the shorter luteal phase being only 10 days as everything that I read says that less than 10 days is potentially not long enough to give the egg a chance to implant before AF comes.

I think I just scrape through for the minimum, but has anyone successfully conceived on a less than 10 day luteal phase?

Or has anyone has any luck in making their luteal phase longer? If so, what did you do?

I have a 10 day LP. I have no idea whether I had a 10 day LP back then but I have a 5 year old so if I did it didn’t matter.

I think 10 days is still within normal range but on the short side.

I have a 10 day luteal phase, a few times it's been 11. I've been ttc for 17 cycles without a single BFP. Both the nhs and private fertility clinics have said it's fine, although my acupuncturist thinks it not great. Nothing has made it longer. In myself I do feel it might be a problem but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm heading for IVF anyway so I won't need to worry about it.

I had a 10 day luteal phase too and caught on very quickly. (I'm 19 weeks now). Can't remember what it was with my first child however very lucky that time too x

Thanks so much everyone ❤️💕

10 days is fine, try not to worry! I have a 9/10 day lp and have a 2 year old and am 15 weeks with number 2...
