luteal phase question

Will the luteal phase tend to stay the same length even if a woman's cycle is irregular? Ie. always 14 days even if the cycle changes from 27 to 31 days...

Thanks.

Yes your LP (luteal phase) should stay pretty consistent. O time could vary but the time after O until AF (AKA LP) should be the same. A short LP could result in problems with m/c's due, could be due to low progestone. But yes LP should stay the same, most women have 14 day LP's, but not all.
