Anyone have a Luteal Phase Defect
| Mon, 09-08-2003 - 9:33pm |
I charted and used OPKs this month and determined (as I suspected) that my Luteal Phase is only 9 days. I have already had a chemical pg so I know that this is an issue for me although the doctor will not see me until I have two months of charts. Which makes no sense as they say the LP does not change for a woman each cycle. So this cycle will be 9days and I will go another cycle without being able to get pg.
Does anyone else have a LP defect and if so, what is the treatment?

I don't have LPD, but here is an article about diagnosis and treatment:

DOn't be upset with your doc for making you wait two cycles. The reason they do that is because a majority of women have occasional 'bad" cycles (anovulatory or short LP, etc) So they just want to make sure that the first month wasn't a fluke. What you do this month is up to you. If you want to try home remedies, thats fine, but if they work somewhat, your doc may not see you next month. So if you would rather have doctor intervention and supervision, don't do anything until you see the doc. (except be taking a prenatal or multivitamin) I did notice that the prenatals prescribed by my doc have 20 mg or B6, so that could help a little, regular multivitamin only has 2 mg.
Hope this helps.
