Experience with short luteal phase?

Some say it sways pink, I believe it is totally neutral after seeing a very even split with short LP and people with all boys and all girls.

What the real concern is, is twofold. First concern is that it's been proven pretty definitively that prog supps do not help anyone get or stay pregnant. And secondly, if you have just had a baby in Feb. of 2016, the reason your LP is short is because your body is not super ready to get pregnant again. The short LP is a way of "nature's birth control" because your body may not be ready to get pregnant yet, and this may mean you are more "set" for a girl than a boy.

What you have described above, first cycle after stopping breastfeeding, that is totally normal for that first month to be an oddball one.

I know some of you guys are super antsy to get TTC again but I think you should be patient for best results and hold off at least till 12 months between kiddos, and more like 18 is better. But you gotta do what you gotta do.

Thanks atomic. Great advice! Much appreciated! I am not looking to try for a little while yet but I am slowly changing the way I go about my diet etc.

Also do you mean by 12-18 months between kids, fall pregnant with the next one when they are about 1 year old - 18 months old?

Yes, at minimum. A lot of my blue swayers are in some huge rush to TTC immediately. For best results I strongly urge all blue swayers to wait 12-18 months before TTC again.

I don't care if you have seen 700 other people get boys within a year, it is NOT your best shot. If you want your best shot, please give your body a break and enjoy your new baby before rushing to TTC another. These 3-6-9 month age gaps between babies are not good for you health wise, they aren't good for your blue sway, and having babies that close together is really, really hard (trust me I had 2 less than 2 years apart and it was brutal!)

the only blue swayers who should TTC inside of a year are those who absolutely must due to age or some other conflicting factor. If you want your best chance at a boy, wait.
