Short Luteal Phase?

[Trudyscrumptious76]

Morning! If anyone has a mo can they look at my chart?

Does this mean my LP this cycle was only 6 days? Why would this happen?

I had a blood test on Mon, will this show low progesterone? I'm almost pleased I've had such a bad cycle if it means it'll show on the test.

Hi babe,

Have you actually got AF yet or are you still just spotting? If you haven't then you still keep counting. Blood test will hopefully show what's going on although it may have been up at a good level on Monday and has suddenly dropped. If the level turns out ok but your luteal phases stays short I would take a copy of your charts along to the doctor to show them.

Thanx for looking Sus. Still spotting but temps have dropped below coverline. Does this mean my LP is over? I will definitely take my chart in with me. At the docs next Weds for results so AF should've shown by then.

sorry i cant help you much, but good luck at the dr's
have you tried posting a question on ff notice board about it?

 

[Trudyscrumptious76]

Didn't realise I could do that. Thanx Claire30 I'll do that.

You should still count days under coverline as within your luteal phase. It's only over when AF definately gets you.

I guess I did have a short LP this month. 8 days is a bit worrying, will def tell the doc next month if tests show normal. Will tell him anyway actually. OH goes for tests Mon so by end of next week we should know one way or the other. Scary eh?

How long have you been charting for?

Some months I have shorter LP than others, it could be the same for you that you're don't have consistently the same LP each month.

Good luck with it all.

I've been charting for 2 months now. Just worried because I understood that it should be at the very least 10 days. Will see what the blood tests show next week

I know how easy it is to worry when you're TTC, I was the same before my first pregnancy.

I read up a lot on TTC and sometimes too much info can have a negative affect on you.

Your other chart was 10 DPO which is fine. One of my cycles earlier this year was really short 7 days or something, the rest have been at least 10 days.

Try not to worry but I know it's easier said than done. I hope your blood test results will reassure you.

|Thanks Bagpuss. I'm trying not to worry. I'll find out Weds if there is anything to worry about.
