I'm Currently Feeling:  | Short luteal phase
Hi,
I have a similar problem i think. I came off the pill last november and 9 months later have had no luck conceiving. I have used OPKs and Persona and they all say I ovulate about cd 19/ 20 but I only have a 28/ 29 day cycle. (luteal phase normally about 9 days) I am currently on CD 27 and have already had cramps and a bit of spotting. I went to the doctor and she said to chuck away the OPKs etc and just relax. But how can you relax when you are convinced there is something wrong? I too have been taking agnus castus for 3 months and it hasn't doen anything. i am now going to try vit b6, cut out alcohol completely and see if that does any good. I feel disheartened because I noe feel I can't go back to the drs. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling:  | thats similiar to my consultant, my GP seemed to understand a bit more. I used B6 for one cycle but changed them from between 31-34 days to 47 so i stopped taking them, no change to my luteal phase though. How long were you on the pill? |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I have been on and off the pill since I was 17 so 21 years. I had a daughter two years ago. I conceived her almost straight away after coming off the pill so not convinced this can be a problem especially as this time I have been off it for 9 months. Maybe it is my age? But I want to give everything I can a go and it is frutrating when the dr looks at you as if you are mad!!! | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | my consultant blamed all my ttc prblems with me being on the pill for 11 years non stop and sad id gone on it before my reproductive system was mature enough (i was 16!!) he said it will take time to regulate and should be in next 6 months my cycles seem to be quite regular now but my luteal phase too short. |

| I have even read that 10 days is too short, and 12 is better. Is it a progesterone thingy? |

| Can you ask to see a specialist? My GP knows squat, so I only talk to the OB/GYN about things. |
