Short Luteal Phase?

I think I might have an issue with a short luteal phase. I ovulated on CD14 but I'm only on a 24 day cycle. AF is due in 4 days but I'm only 7DPO, I can do a FRER but aware implantation might not have even occured yet! Anyone else have the same issue?

This month I have..usually have a 27/28 day cycle, ovulating day 13/14 which i did this month too but have had spotting/light bleeding from 8dpo so assume this will be followed by AF in the next day or 2, making it a 24 day cycle. Very frustrating- I thought implantation was most likely at 9dpo onwards but presumably if you've started bleeding already that can't happen.

That's what I thought, if on average it is 9dpo it doesn't leave much time for things to happen. Should I be worried?!

I think people still get pregnant with a short LP- implantation can be from 6dpo I'm sure I've read. Haven't looked into it much as it's an occasional thing for me but there's a lot about it on the conception and infertility boards and ways to lengthen the LP with various supplements.

I am also investigating this as my cycles are much shorter since I had my little girl 21 months ago, and she is still breastfeeding!
I haven't been temping so not sure exactly when I'm ovulating but I feel this could be the culprit.
I have read that Vitamin B6 supplements can lengthen luteal phase.
Has anyone else had any success with this?

I have the same issue. My LP is only 10 days. Ive been to the gp about it but they keep telling me it's fine and not to worry about it. It's hard not to as everything I read online tells me the opposite. Im taking vitamin b complex (it contains b6 and other b ones) this cycle to see if it makes any difference. I tried vitex two cycles ago but stopped it after a week and a half because my skin was breaking out and I freaked out. My cycles are regular and I didnt want to mess them up. On the other hand, i see people getting bfp at 7dpo so maybe it depends on the egg and if that one egg implants quickly enough, then there's still a chance?

We're still quite early on in our TTC adventure, we'll have to play it out a few months and see how it goes!

I had the implant out September and I have 24 day cycles and ovulate on day 16. I've had 1 positive test since then but my LP is too short and just kicks it out. My periods are also light so I don't think my lining gets thick enough.

3 years ago I fell pregnant on 3rd cycle of stopping the pill and my cycles were 29 days and heavy periods. I've only just turned 28 so presuming the implant has totally messed with my hormones.

AF due tonight/tomorrow and this month I've been taking Vit B complex, extra B6, Vit C and agnus castus so I will let you know how I get on.
