Short LH phase

Hi Ladies,

I have been having a short LP phase of 8 every month without fail.I ovulate and 8 days later get my period.I have had all the testing done for my hormones with a fertility specialist and all within normal range.My supposed PCOS diagnosis off another docotor was wrong also according to her as my levels are within range.My egg count was 25.The specialist was reluctant to put me on Clomid as she thinks I don't need it and can get pregnant with a short phase.Has anything worked for anyone else in lengthening it? I really want to try Clomid but feel it's such an expensive process of consultations to get it and that's if I do get it.Is there a safe online store that sells it? I have tried vitex,progesterone cream(wild yam and vitex) eating more B6 foods.

I'm lurking as I'm in the same boat. Mine was 13 at Christmas, steadily gone down to 10, 8, 6 and last month 5.... We'll see next week what this one brings. Are you doing cardio? Have you lost a lot of weight? My dr wouldn't even do tests - just told me I was stressed!!

Sounds like me! It's frustrating that's for sure.I do do cardio 5 days a week but normally only walking and have actually put on 2kg.

snap, 8 days here

I have had a dr say I didn't have pcos because my hormones were normal but I have now been diagnosed due to other factors. It is a combination of the pcos symptoms they looks for but not necessarily all of them.

Clomid could help with the short LP so I would get a 2nd opinion.

Where are you located? That can make a difference to if you can access it other ways. Here in Australia it is pretty difficult to get without a prescription.

bump this for me as I accidentally opened it and don't have enough time to answer right now sorry

Atomic, any ideas where a legitimate site to order it from?

Clomid is the gold standard for lengthening LP and 8 days is pretty short. Yes, you can get pregnant with an LP that short and people do it all the time. But it would be great to get Clomid, too.

How can your tests be in normal range, surely progesterone is at least somewhat low?? Did they test progesterone?

Vitex, B6, and prog cream generally don't work that well. What I would do is add in the full fat dairy 1 serv. a day, 4-6 eggs a week, salmon or red meat 1 serving a week idea and drop fiber if you're still taking it for a start.

I can't recommend getting medications on line as there is the possibiltiy that they will be unsafe knockoffs that contain harmful ingredients. That having been said I do know tons of people have done so and been perfectly fine doing that. I don't know what pharmacists they used.

We have to fix this honeybee, even if you have to gain weight to do it.
