What's going on - short cycles and short LP

I came off the pill about 5 months ago, and have had very short cycles ever since - 22-24 days. We're TTC and I'm tracking BBT and using OPKs so I'm fairly sure I'm ovulating, but only having a luteal phase of around 10 days. I'm taking B6, VitC and VitD supplements as I heard they can help, but so far they don't seem to be doing anything at all. Does anyone have any tips on what I could be doing to help? It's really getting me down, I feel like there's something wrong with me.

I know it's not for everyone, but acupuncture has good success rates of regulating luteal phases. 5 months is still quite short (I know it doesn't feel like it!) after years on artificial hormones in contraception. I've heard people using pregnacare supplements particularly find their cycles increase in length, which isn't usually seen in other pregnancy supplements. Good luck!

Thanks @PlanBea - I'll look into acupuncture and will try pregnacare. I think I'm just finding it stressful as last time I came off the pill before I had my DS my cycles regulated pretty much straight away and we didn't have any issues conceiving. This time it feels like I've not even got a chance as there's such a short break between periods.
