TTC 35 short luteal phase - Conceived first no problem

[Victoriaspa]

Hi there I’ve never posted on here before, but wondered if anyone had any advice.
we have been ttc for 6 months now, I’m almost 36 and already have one son 18 months, conceived him 2nd month of trying. But this time taking longer. I have noticed when charting my ovulation I ovulate around day 20 with only a 27 day cycle. I just wondered if anyone had any advice. As the drs don’t even seem to know about short luteal phase, should I go to a clinic, can you get medication? They have done my blood tests and all my results were fine.

I should add I’m already taking vitex, b complex, iron, vit c, d and any other vitamins that have been recommended.

I took soy isoflavones which brought my ovulation forward a few days, thus "lengthening" my luteal phase. It's basically nature's Clomid. Found all the info about how to take it on this board.

I also used progesterone pessaries from ovulation since that could also have been why my luteal phase was short.

Anyway, whichever it was, it worked 😅

I’m going through similar this month! Didn’t track as I had ran out (they came today) according to my previous cycles my peak was 29th june but yesterday 6/7/22 cycle day 26 I had ewcm and Today plus cramps and a blazing positive opk! According to my app tho period is due in 6 days! So random!

Hi I have a 8 day lp and conceived my second pregnancy (twins) after 2 months of trying so it can happen!

I'm (just turned) 36 and when we started trying for DC2 my LP was only about 8 days. I took loads of vitamins, paid for a set of private bloods (was told all was fine although I'm sceptical those bloods showed I was ovulating correctly).

Tried for a year and was feeling increasingly despondent that we'd ever had DC2.

Had to take a break from TTCing and literally one drunken shag and I'm now 34w pregnant...so I think it can happen at any time, just need to keep trying and hoping for the best.

Thanks so much this is helpful, where did you get the progesterone pessaries from?

Gynaecologist!

I’ve heard soo many people say when they stop trying it happens, but it’s soo hard to stop trying and relax when you want it soo bad!

I feel the exact same !! What Cd are you?

I’m currently on CD4 my average cycles are 27 days and I ovulate around day 20 :(

Fingers crossed this is your month and the 7 days is enough time!!

How long have you been ttc?

Did you dr refer you?

I have 28 day cycles and usually get my peak on day 18 or 19. I’ve had three pregnancies, each conceived within seven months of starting ttc. I read a bit about short luteal phases and most studies show that after a year of trying you’re just as likely to be pregnant as someone with an average 14 day phase. I remember the stress and frustration though and I truly empathise, it’s so hard to keep being disappointed each month. 💛

Following as my LP is 10 days, down from 14 days before I had a MC 6 months ago. I’m taking folic acid, vit D and vit C every day. Ovulation has come forward thankfully but LP still 10 days. I’m scared to take things like agnus castus and those soy isoflavones in case they mess up ovulation for me, it’s taken 6 months to bring it down to CD18 from CD30 something!
Been TTC 6 months and nothing. 3 previous pregnancies conceived in 1-4 months of trying. I am worried about my LP but feel like a doctor won’t be bothered.

Thank you, it really is, I read that study too! So fingers crossed!

im sorry for you MC, I stopped breastfeeding in December but my milk only stopped last month, so I wonder sometimes if it’s hormones still not settled down. Do you think it could be your hormones from the MC? I’ve found talking to drs most of them don’t even know what a short luteal phase is! :(

I’m month 7 of trying, cycle day 27 of around 32 - only just realised I have a peak on cycle day 26/27 so unsure if it’s a one off or will continue

@LuckyMoonstone I have a 10 day LP, I ovulate on CD19 of a 29 day cycle but I conceived my son on 2nd month ttc and he's 16 months now so it can happen, sending you all baby dust 🤞🏻x

Is this or the previous question directed at me?
Could you tag people or quote the post you're responding to? Otherwise it's hard to follow! 😆

If for me, no, I just booked directly (not UK)

@KSmith94 ah thank you

I’ve done reading about soy isoflavones but I’m still a bit wary, but I also really want to try them

@Emily907 thank you so much, which private clinic did you call? When I speak to the drs they just don’t get it.

are we thinking ones an evap and ones neg!?
so weird, same urine sample but diff cheapie
