Le diet causing short LP??

[Mavindi]

So I've been on LE diet for a few months now and just started Clomid this month and AF has shown at 6dpo!!! So disappointed has this happened to anyone else doing LE? I'm not even all that strict with it either :/

I don't know but I'm following this thread! I sure hope not, my normal LP is total crap anyways.

Not sure, I have been on the atomic fertility diet for about 4 months and took clomid for 2 cycles and when I stopped, my second cycle off clomid I ovulated on cd 8 and AF came on 11 dpo so I had a 10 day leutal phase compared to 13 or 14. Not a fan of clomid for me.

Ick. Could very well be the clomid, that stuff can thin the lining which might explain the short LP.

My LP is pathetic - even without any drugs or any sway, it averages 10 days and can be shorter. Ugh. So I don't need to do anything that reduces it even more! No Clomid for me sounds like.

If this is the first cycle you've had a short LP, I'd definitely blame clomid not the LE. Even though clomid is supposed to extend your LP for most women, some experience the opposite. Especially older ladies. Are you AMA?

Yes, it can, but I suspect it's the Clomid. We have just had several people who had short LP all of a sudden starting Clomid (which is weird because Clomid is supposed to help LP and can be a miracle for people with short LP)

Please tell me your day's totals just so I can be sure you're in the right range and tell you waht to tweak.

Here's the thing though. Clomid is the gold standard for LENGTHENING LP. I have seen the vast majority of people have fantastic results iwth Clomid for their short LP, and I wouldn't hesitate to use it for anyone who is experiencing short LP issues.

Sometimes it takes more than a month for your body to work things out. These things aren't miracle drugs, it takes time for your hormonal profile to shift.

Just be sure to eat enough fat (60 g) and I'd have anyone with short LP normally, do atomic fertility diet.

For sure, I'm worried about my fertility running out so no extremes for me. I have to be moderate with IR and PCO tendencies anyways.

We have been getting some good results with people going gluten free, too. I hate to jump on a bandwagon LOL but it's really seemed to help a few gals who weren't getting pregnant, to conceive.
