Short Luteal Phase

[Cougar]

i was on depo as well, not for long though, only the 3 months that it lasts, but i bleed for 6 months.....after that i temped my cycle only to have a very short luteal phase of 9days....i started taking vitex the next cycle as i heard it can help your lengthen your luteal phase......and i feel pregnant that cycle to my surprise.

Hi Kyliekd,
how are you going with your LP. I just found your thread after searching "short luteal phase" I have just finished a cycle with a 10 day LP and the one before was 9 days. I wonder if it can take it bit to get to the right length after contraception???? I had implanon for 6 yrs. And is vitex better or B6... or something else?

hope you have managed to find what will help you out....

myson - I just found this thread again myself. My LP last month was 11 days then the cycle that just ended yesterday it was only 10 days. Hmmm - not happy. I'm going to take B6 as I'm also on clomid and apparently vitex is not recommended when you are taking clomid.

Thanks AJC. I hope it works for you GL. Are you on clomid because of your short LP or for other fertility reasons? Dont mean to be nosey...

[AJC]

You're not nosey myson. It's great to share stories and experiences with other people in here. I guess I have unexplained infertility - ttc for nearly 2 yrs with 2 x unexplained m/c, lots and lots and lots of tests which all say that my body is functioning normally - short LP so yes the clomid is mainly just to give my hormones a helping hand. I do O on my own but ob just thought I needed a little help. Just went to pharmacy to get my B6 tablets and the first one just went down the shute - fingers crossed. Good luck to you!

Kyliekd - hope things are going well for you.

Your story sounds a lot like mine ajc. ttc for nearly 2 yrs for both my girls with 2 x unexplained m/c.
Will take my first b6 tonight. Hope it works for us both

myson - for you.

Here's to the B6

So it was just 3rd & 4th time lucky for you? Sorry to hear of your losses.

I can't wait to be pg again, I had a bad feeling with my second pg from but something inside me just tells me that it's going to be ok next time. Here's hoping.
