Anyone's Luteal Phase Length change?

Mama4 · Oct 5th, 2009, 14:41 PM

Ok, Ive read a ton of things that claim each woman's Luteal Phase can be different BUT typcially the same woman will have the same length phase each time...

But I know for a fact I have a few friends here on BNB who do NOT always have the same number of Days Past Ov...

Please share with me your opinion, the length of your LP and whether or not it varies from month to month...

I have been tracking my cycle during this year, but up until this month, not ovulation. I am massively surprised to say that my luteal phase was 10 whole days! I was thinking it would be 12-14, but the witch caught up with me.

The only other month I tracked it, my LP was 14 days, so mine clearly changes!

I've only charted one previous cycle to this one and my LP was 14 days. So I figured my temp would plummet yesterday and I would get AF today...temp dropped a bit yesterday but went back up a little this morning.

I really figured AF would be here last night or this morning...feels like she is on her way, but I was just the tiniest bit hopeful since I've made it to 15DPO that maybe that could be a good sign...

I KNOW I should not read too much into it. I did break down and test yesterday afternoon - used a cheapy $1 test and used what little urine I could squeeze out - had already emptied my bladder a few minutes before I caved in and decided to test. I should have held my pee for a few hours first, but I didnt. Makes no sense I know! Im hoping that my urine sample wasnt a good one and maybe there is still a chance for me to get a BFP this cycle!

Mine have been 18-14-14-15.
Sigh.
Thought I was there that first Charting month.
I told my doctor that my luteal phase changes... don't think he listened (but I got the blood tests I wanted anyway!)

Mine has been anywhere from 9-12 days.

Thanks for the replies guys! I am just going to try NOT to read too much into my chart at this point. I know it is most useful for determining when I've ovulated and after that, well, its not a real dependable predictor of any thing else....

So Im just gonna try to remain patient and assume that AF is still on her way. I dont have any tests in the house and no opportunity to purchase any soon, so I think I will wait until Im 18DPO to even think about testing again like FF suggests (if AF doenst get me sooner...

I'm sure my does, thats only going by EWCM, I'm only on my first cycle chart - I don't count the days, I just know that AF is usually here on the dot after 28 days, if shes not then I start to think about testing!

the ics are really crap at picking up lines until about 18dpo i got a positive on a frer at 10 dpo and a pregnant on a xdigi at 11 dpo but my ics were still negative i would go get a frer and try and hold your pee for about 4 hours,your chart looks promising.xx
