LP question (m/c ment.)

Hi ladies,

This is my 3 month TTC #2 after a m/c in June. Before my m/c I ovulated on day 14 or 15 with a 28 day cycle. Since the m/c, my cycles are 28 days but I have ovulated on day 17 the 1st month and day 18 on my second month of TTC. This means that my luteal phase has only been 10 or 11 days. Do you think this is a problem? Have you ever heard of a luteal phase changing after a m/c because I thought that the LP is usually a fixed number.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Aleximom

My Dr and I think I m/c in June and then my cycle in July was two/three days shorter than normal. I don't know but AF has never been early before this. Are you trying anything to lenghten your luteal phase?

I spoke to my OB about it and she said that lets see what happens this month and will schedule some type of biopsy to determine if I have a LP defect. I feel that this seems kind of drastic to do as it seems many people with short LP are given some type of medication. She also said that it is rare to have a problem with LP since I already had 1 successful pregnancy but it could happen.I just feel extremely confused by this whole thing and would hate to have a biopsy done but obviously would if I need it.

I think a 10-11 day LP is fine. I have a 10 day and just got my BFP. The only problem I have had is that I realized I was pg before most people find out. Since I find out on CD24, I have another 4-5 days of worry. I even went to the OB today and they had to do 3 urine tests before it came back positive! I also have spotting which could be just from implantation or a number of routine/normal things, but since I know so early, it's hard for my Dr to tell if I'm having a m/c or just normal spotting.

You'll be fine with a 10day LP. If it gets shorter, you will need some help. Other than that, your gravy!!!

Good Luck!!
