Long cycle, short luteal phase. 8 months off pill. Feeling miserable!

[Elsie2021]

Hi Ladies

I have been off the pill for 8 months. My periods took about two months to return, then were pretty random and then the last 3 months have been around 38-42 day’s long.

I ovulate around CD30. The last two months I’ve had around a 10 day luteal phase. This month it was only 8.

What can I do to try and support my body to have a more regular cycle? :(

I found vit b6 was good when I had a short luteal phase.

I also cut caffeine (not completely, quit coffee now one cup of green tea a day) and swapped to wholewheat things like pasta and rice.

I also take Coq10 supplements, folic acid and vit E. The book 'it starts with an egg' was really useful.
