What can cause changes in LP?
| Tue, 05-12-2009 - 6:37pm |
I'm just curious if any of you know what can cause a woman's LP to shorten? Obviously, at one point in my life, I had at least an adequate LP. This last cycle was the first time I have ever charted, but according to FF, I only had a 7 day LP. I know that there is no way that could have always been the case for me. I was on BCP from Aug to Dec, but only because my Dr. thought it would help shorten and lighten AF. (He's the 3rd Dr. to try this since I was a teenager, it never works!) I decided at the first of the year that I didn't want to continue taking them since, again, it wasn't doing any good. Do you think it might be possible that could play a factor in my short LP? I've been doing some reading today, and am going to start taking B6. Figure it can't hurt. Have you ever heard of someone going from a normal LP to such a short LP?

Hi Teresa,
Looking at your chart, I think FF might have the cross hairs wrong.
If you 'disregard' the high temp from CD 8 then FF might bring your CH's back to CD 13 or 14, as that would fit in more with your EWCM and cervix being open.
That would give you a 13 day LP, which is pretty good.
One thing I do find slightly odd though, is that your temps are still above coverline and haven't dropped for AF. Maybe you just have freaky charts :-)
So you may

You were exactly right. FF moved O to CD13 with that change, and that makes much more sense. I've been saying all along that something wasn't right with my chart! My temp did go down a bit today, but it's still well above the coverline (which also got lowered when I made the change). AF has not been "normal" for me this month, so if my temp doesn't drop more in the morning, I'm going to try another HPT, just to make sure.
Thanks for your help!
