One of the symptoms of coming of bc is short luteal phase. I read somewhere (when it was happening to me) it can take up to 7 months to sort itself out! The first time I charted after coming of bcp in January, I had a 8 day luteal phase in May. Now nearly a year on I just had a 12 day luteal phase. Not ideal, but getting better! My luteal phase is still sorting itself out.

If you google it you will see it's normal after coming of bcp to have shorter luteal phase. I haven't seen many with same problem as me where luteal phase changes - I think my body is just VERY slow at adjusting!

Just found the quote on fertility friend about it taking up to 7 cycles:

''Cycle disturbances (defined as a luteal phase length of less than 10 days or a cycle length greater than 35 days) were more frequent in the post-pill group until the seventh cycle.''

Ah ok thanks, did think that it was likely to change overtime mine was 9 days this time.

Have a look at my charts by clicking on the link and you will see how mine change. Yes although everyone says luteal phase stays constant each cycle many don't know this is AFTER your body has adjusted from being on oral contraceptives or such like.

The fact that it says this is normal up until the 7th cycle following bc on fertility friend stops me being worried, as this is a reputable site and not just any website.
