Me too! We are cycle buddies! I'm 9dpo, and I've had a short LP since my period came back from having my DS3. I took Clomid this cycle and it looks like it has lengthened my LP! If AF doesn't come this weekend, I'm going to test on Monday. I have a busy weekend, and I won't have much time to myself to pee on a stick!

FX we see more BFPs soon!!

Sorry KC short LPs are plaguing so many of us! 😥 I'm going to test on Sat, I'll be 10dpo. I can't make heads or tails of symptoms anymore, I have a lot during BFN cycles unfortunately.

I'm sorry to hear that kc! I really hope next month will be great for you! I know how you feel..

Have you tried vitex? Maybe ask atomic about it?
I used to wait to ovulate for ages and then my lp was very short.. Vitex gave me my first ds after months of going crazy.

So sorry, kc15880!! :bighug:

I'm hoping af starts for me soon. Yesterday was my last dose of progesterone, so I'm thinking she'll probably show up tomorrow which is horrible timing! I have tons of stuff to do tomorrow. We're in the process of selling our house and buying a new one. Tomorrow, we have the appraisal on our house, a pest inspection on our house, and then the full house inspection on the house we're buying. It's going to be a crazy long day and it really sucks that it's going to be the first day of af. I anticipate it being a horribly heavy period. My uterus feels enormous! Does anyone know if progesterone makes you retain water? I've noticed that my legs are super puffy the last 3-4 days. I keep thinking it's because I'm dehydrated, but it just seems to keep getting worse despite my increased water intake.

That sucks Momamia! What horrible timing [emoji20].

Congrats on the new house! We moved into our new house the beginning of August, and we love it! 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and a finished basement! We are still hoping to sell our old house or rent it.

Hang in there!!

Estrogen causes water retention- progesterone reduces it. My guess is the estrogen levels are rising in your body due to AF approaching and that is what is causing it.

AFM- I'm so tired that I'm taking a nap with my boys. I haven't done that in ages! I think I've over done it the past few days deep cleaning my new house. I cleaned it before we moved in, but I always like to deep clean in the fall before winter sets in.

Going to nap now, haha!

So sorry KC. Has the short LPs been going on for a while or is this something new?

So happy for all the ladies who have moved or are moving. It is tough, but hopefully worth it and you are moving up to something better. We bought ours almost a year ago and love it. It is a big house because we were planning on filling it with children, but my uterus and ovaries must not agree with the plan.

I am CD 22 and still no +OPK. This means after three cycles on Metformin where my cycle got shorter, now they are getting longer again. Could the Metformin not be working anymore? I regret taking this month off clomid. I only did it to wait for blood and ultrasound test but then both came back pretty normal, just the expected cysts on my ovaries. I HATE LONG CYCLES! Even if I got a positive today (which I doubt I will), it would put me at about a 38 day cycle because I have long LPs too. Gggggrrrr... no EWCM, no ovulation cramps, no nothing

Ive had a short luteal phase for the past 5 months now & AF has been light. Im working with Atomic to alter my sway (again!) in the hope I can improve things without going to blue friendly.

I had short lp issues as well, in July my lp was only 7 days. With atomic help and advice from lots of knowledgeable ladies on this site I made changes and got pregnant the next cycle. For me I had to introduce 4-6 eggs per week, daily diary and one portion of red meat per week. I also had to make sure I was at the upper end of the calories and fat and protein levels of the le diet. I think breast feeding and cardio plus very low calorie intake ( under the minimum for le) was too much for my body. I also did not realise that certain vegetables are free and not included in your totals so I was well under. I had to make lots of changes that were more blue friendly but I was not going to get pregnant any other way. As atomic would say not getting pregnant, you don't have any chance of desired gender. If I could do it over again, I would stick to the upper limits of the diet due to cardio and breast feeding, if I had done this my cycles may not have gone wacky and I would not have to repair the damage done by making more blue friendly choices. I actually found the short lp the most frustrating part of trying to conceive, I felt like I was doing everything but not even getting a chance to get pregnant. Good luck everyone, fingers and toes crossed for you all! X

I am finding it hard not to symptom spot today, even though I am bang on course for AF, and I know that in my head.

Does anyone else have that problem ?

I remember having it all too well mrssparkles..... and I'm sure no matter how much I tell myself I wont - I will again lol

I too am guilty of symptom spotting ladies...AF was right on track, but I did it anyways. 😊

It's CD2 for me. Temping hasn't cooperated these last couple of days. I had to pee (tmi?) close to my 5:30 am temp taking time, so I just forgot about it. Hoping to start tomorrow and see what happens the rest of this month. I did begin maca root this cycle because my temps seemed so low last month.

In times past it has helped me balance out my hormones (and emotions) pretty quickly and temps were high, then I became pregnant.

Any other maca users?

Yes, I have been having eggs, meat & the full fat dairy & iron supplement for the past 2 cycles but that hasnt helped yet (no change at all yet). I am going to add in fish once a week & toast for breakfast in case the fasting between 6pm-11am is just too much for my body. Also adding in more fruit & veg. Hubby stopped the peppermint tea 2 months ago & he will stop OLE now too. No J&D, no lube. Im already a couch potato so I cant change that! We have also had a long winter here & very little sun - so I am making a conscious effort to get outside & improve my vitamin d levels. My cycles are very regular at 28-29 days its just the short luteal phase that is our biggest issue at the moment. Thanks for your story - very helpful!

What is maca root veggiegirl?

Maca & Fertility

As infertility is becoming an increasing issue facing both women and men, it’s no wonder why so many people today are turning to natural alternatives for improving fertility. So far, research has only examined maca root’s impact on fertility in animals, with much of the research showing promising results. Studies support maca’s traditional use as a fertility enhancer, especially for females, noting its ability to increase serum luteinizing hormone in the pituitary gland. This hormone is associated with fertility, among other factors in the body.

Maca root has been used extensively as a hormone balancer, and research shows that its high nutrient density and phytochemical content may be the underlying contributors to this effect. Researchers evaluating the herb for weight loss observed that women taking a maca root supplement enjoyed a reduction in many of the most common menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes, sleep disruptions, night sweats, and depression. A similar study found women taking maca root enjoyed a significant relief from symptoms associated with menopause.

What does symptom spotting mean?

I used maca with vitex a few years ago, thanks for reminding me. Maybe l will use it again since my temps are so low.
I started taking a tablespoon of coconut oil now daily because l read it helps raise bbt by working on thyroid and metabolism. Anyone try this?
