Hey Ladies,
I just wanted to set up a thread to discuss short luteal phases.. ladies who have them, ladies who have conceived with one & of course any advice people may have for lengthening them as I've seen a few ladies bring it up in other posts..
Before TTC my cycles have always been very regular and always 28 days give or take a day I am only on my 3rd month TTC so still very much trial & error for me (I am temping & using opks)
My first month I'm almost certain I had a very early MC, Had implantation pains & spotting but I then bled heavily at 10DPO and was heavy for about 5 days which is very very unusual for me.. would this be due to a short LP?
My second cycle AF arrived 11DPO and was normal (light, about 3-4 days) .. making my cycle 26 days and an LP of 10 days.
Of course I haven't been TTC or temping long enough to know whether this was maybe just a one off.. my cycles have always been 28 days so for me I guess time will tell..
I've heard so much conflicting opinions on 'short LP's' some people think as long as it's 9+ days you can get pregnant which I agree.. however it does lower your chances, if your egg chooses that cycle not to implant until 9DPO then your AF would be on its way before it even had a chance to implant fully..
Be nice to hear from any ladies that have short LP's and if they are doing anything to try and lengthen them - also those of have had their BFP's?
