soy isoflavones for short luteal phase? Endometriosis?

Basically, as the subject suggests! Am trying B6 and agnus castor, but read something about soy isoflavones to generally lengthen menstrual cycle and LP. Has anyone heard anything about this / tried it? I am desperate!!

I was also wondering whether endemetriosis might be a root cause of the short LP. I get heavy periods, pelvic pain but no pain during sex etc. I get lower back pain and cramps during AF. Does this sound like it could be endometriosis? My GP basically fobbed me off and said to come back in a year if I hadn't managed to conceive. She is supposedly an OB/GYN specialist. I said I had heavy bleeds lasting roughly 6-7 days out of a 27/28 days cycle, OV-ing on CD19 or 20 but she seemed unconcerned....

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Bit of a late reply, newmumof2, sorry, but just wanted to say thanks for your replies and that I have got my first pot of progesterone cream! Hoping it will lengthen LP this month. We will see! Thanks for your reply.
