Short follicular phase

[Hopefulhedgehog]

I have a 27 day cycle, usually ovulating on CD 11 then 16 day luteal phase. I think 11 is on the cusp of what is classed as early ovulation so in an ideal world I would push it back a couple of days to make sure the egg is mature. There seems to be a lot of information about lengthening the luteal phase but not the follicular phase. Does anyone know of any supplements which may lengthen my follicular phase?

I found Soy Isoflavones lengthened my follicular phase. I was actually trying to lengthen my luteal phase but it pushed my ovulation back from CD14/15 to CD17/18

At the beginning of March I started taking lots of supplements and my ov day went from day 12 to 16. It also meant my AF was later than it's been for about 10 years which I found quite anxiety inducing, so I switched from pregnacare, which is notorious for lengthening cycles to another multi-vit and dropped the EPO. This month after making this change, I ovulated day 11. Atm I'm not too worried about this being too early as have found lots of posts from women with successful pregnancies who ovulated early, but would definitely try pregnacare and/or EPO if I wanted a longer follicular phase

Thanks girls. I just started EPO last month so will keep going with that and if no luck in a few months may try soy.

Good luck! 🤞for you x
