Everything I read says the luteal phase is almost always 14 days and doesn't

I'm pretty sure that the LP varies from woman to woman. For me, I always get AF at 14DPO, without fail. I know for some on here its 12DPO. I think (but someone correct me if I'm wrong) that it should be at least 12DPO to allow for implanation, otherwise you may have a short LP and need to get treated for that.

I think I remember reading that it should be 12 to 16 dpo. I don't think I have a problem with implantation since I conceived my dd with no issues. I guess all I can do is keep tracking and see if it remains consistently at 12dpo.

I think the synthroid messes with my cycles a bit, but they're still regular within a couple of days.

I'm also on Levoxyl for thyroid replacement. I had my entire thyroid removed in 1999 so I need total replacement of the hormone. It has neevr interfered with my cycles. I am always 26-29 and my LP has never changed. See what this cycle brings. If your LP is 12, then it will probably always be that (although I did hear it can fluctuate but no more than 1 day).

I'm not sure about the synthroid; I'm on the lowest dose - my thyroid is only slightly lower than normal and has remained consisten for three years. My cycles prior to giving birth and synthroid were longer, about 27 days every time, but I guess the pregnancy itself could have messed them up a little. I always assumed my LP was 14 days, so it was good to do the OPKs and find out otherwise - it helps with the timing.
