LP before and after birth
| Wed, 01-25-2012 - 9:53am |
Hi Ladies,
I'm wondering about how other mum's LPs have changed since having their babies. I had my first period a couple of weeks ago and I suspect my LP is a few days shorter than before DS. My chart is ambiguous as my temp didn't drop until day three of bleeding and my temps weren't consistantly high after I ovulated last cycle. But I suspect my LP may be less than 10 days. Before DS it was 12-13 days. DS is 15 months and is feeding 4 to 7 times a day now. I've been using vitex since last month although I took a break when I got my period back. I started up again when my EWCM dissppeared the other day before I Oed.
I always thought the LP stayed the same. Am I in trouble now or will it lenghthen again? I'd like to stop taking vitex asap.

I would count the end of your LP to when you started bleeding, regardless of temps since it's not uncommon for them to take a bit to drop. It's also pretty normal to have LP "issues" while BFing. Our first LP I think was 11 days (while BFing 18month old) and we decided to add B6 as we had done while TTC #2. While TTC #2, it lengthened it a day each month until we hit 14DPO I think and then finally got our BFP. It also lengthened while TTC #3, we added a day each time, though I guess it's hard to say if that was the B6 or time doing it's thing too.
Good luck!
HTH,
Jasmine
