    Luteal Phases

    What is classified as a 'short' LP? My cycles have become a bit shorter, 25 days roughly, and I seem to be O'ing on day 14. Is 11days LP long enough to conceive or is it classified as too short and possibly a problem??

    Less than 10 days is "too short", as you need about 10 days for an implantation. 11 days is long enough to conceive, but 14+ days is "best" (however, from the PoV of someone who had two 20-odd day LPs, sometimes shorter is better to put you out of your misery!).

    I think u should be ok with 11 day LP - as Ryn said u normally need 7-10 days for implantation. Wishing u all the best!!!

    My LP is usually about 11 days and I've had no problem getting pregnant.
    Less than 10 can be problematic.

    11 days should be fine. Mine was 10 or 11 days usually and I managed to get pregnant!
    good luck !

    thanks everyone! Fingers crossed for next time, FH is away for a couple of weeks but hopefully we'll be lucky the month after that
