Short cycle and short luteal phase

Hi girls, early in my journey - but I have started tracking and have realised I have a 25-26 day cycle, with LH peak on day 15. Meaning ovulation the next day or so… am I right in thinking this means I have a short literal phase of 9 days? What shall I do to help this?

Do you track your temperature? It's the only way to confirm when ovulation happens. I get a very quick LH peak and ovulate in less than 12 hours (so not the normal 12-36 hours). If your LP is 9 days it is a little short. I've heard vitamin B6 and high dose vitamin C can help lengthen by a day or 2.

@WhiskeyInTheJar33 thank you so much. I will try upping the b6. Already on vit C. I’m buying a thermometer too. In reality, I have no idea when my ovulation comes - I’m just working on the assumption it’s 24-36hrs post LH surge. But you’re quite right, it may be quite different to that.
Thank you Flowers
