Hey guys. How long is your lp supposed to be??? I've been using opk's last month and this one and both have given me positive readings at cd 19 with lots of ewc cm. My cycle seems to have settled to 33 days. So with o coming about day 20 or 21 this leaves my lp @ 11 days. Is that too short?
Hi Tara - I'm not an expert but the information I've seen says the 'typical' luteal phase is between 11 and 16 days. If it's 10 or under it may be a bit short but I've still heard of people conceiving with a short luteal phase. There are some vitamins and supplements that are said to lengthen it - Dr Google may know more
Tara, I have an 11 day luteal phase and have no problems at all conceiving, only ever takes me 1 or 2 cycles I think if it's any shorter though there can be problems. There are ways to try and lengthen your luteal phase if you are having trouble (vitamin B6 and progesterone creams can help).
Typically my LP is around 10 days, it was 10 days exactly both months before I fell pg with DS. I was taking vitamin B6 to help lengthen it the month we fell pg with DS. Good luck!!
11 days is totally normal! If it is less than 8 or 9 then i have heard that some people can have problems and that you would thAT need to see a doctor as there is actually a medical condition or a hormone level that can be responsible for that.
good luck and just keep having fun!!! Stress is not a friend to conception!! AHhahaha
My luetal phase before having my 3rd son was down to about 8 days, I ended up taking Vit B6 and a herbal supplement called Vitex, these worked and I fell pregnant that cylce.
