Trying again after loss, short luteal phase and spotting at 8 dpo

[cmg91]

Hi.

My DH and I lost our twin boys at 22 weeks on Boxing Day 2025. We’ve started trying again and this is my first time tracking BBT. My periods came back after 9 weeks and are usually 34 days (which is normal for me) but the last cycle, my luteal phase was 8 days and I’ve started spotting today at 8 dpo today. My chart looks like this?

Any advice? Are my hormones still settling?

So sorry you have been, and will still be going through, a loss like that. Yes, I'd say your cycle is still settling. When my period came back my luteal phase was too short to sustain a pregnancy (I had one chemical pregnancy and nothing happened the other month) but then it lengthened and I had a trouble free pregnancy. Apparently high dose vitamin C can help lengthen it - might be worth researching x

Thank you 💙💙 It was a hard few days: my Grandad died on Christmas Eve, my husband’s Grandma died Christmas Day and then we lost our boys on Boxing Day.

Ive been on inositol for a while - we had an early miscarriage in March 2025 then my body stopped ovulating so they recommended inositol to me and we immediately conceived the twins!

I guess it happened so fast with the other two pregnancies, I thought it would be the same this time.

I guess I need to be patient!! I’m glad all went okay with your pregnancy. xxx
