Period a week after ovulation

[Dancingfairydreams]

Hiya,

Just after some advice please. Using ovusense form the first month, cycle started 13th Dec. Sensor told me I ovulated on Monday 4th Jan. But my period was due, and has started today. Does this mean I have a short luteal phase? Do I need more data to prove this? Is there anything I can do to lengthen this?

Background, 34, ttc nearly 2 years, ectopic pregnancy in May, one tube lost. Been told I have PCOS, so have a high BMI, but am trying to lower.

Any insight greatly appreciated, thank you

Hi there,

I had a LP of 9 days when I came off the pill earlier this year. I took vit b6 to lengthen mine - from what I had read on here- as doctor told me I must be ovulating earlier and my luteal phase could not be that short despite knowing I wasn’t wrong! I also ate a lot of greens (spinach etc) and gave up anything fun- sugar, caffeine, alcohol the lot.

First month lengthened by 2 days, second month fell pregnant - took the b6 til 12 weeks for the progesterone. I don’t know if it all helped but I was 37 and a bit worried about fertility so threw everything at it :) also used SMEP for timings, temping and ovulation sticks. It’s worth really knowing your cycle and tracking symptoms. I had spent my adult life not really knowing what on earth my body was doing!!

Thank you @Excitablemuch I'll look into the b6.

Hiya @Excitablemuch me again sorry ! Is there set days to take the b6 or do you take for the whole cycle? I've ordered some 🙂

I think I took it the whole cycle... in the first instance to see what happened.... I took 1 tablet first cycle and the upped it the second.... I googled - there are a few threads on here :)
