    Luteal phase 7 days due to breastfeeding

    Hi
    I cant get pregnant and luteal phase too short! I found out by using ovusense. It was my 1st cycle and my baby feeds 4 times a day. I read vitamin b6 and c can help lengthen luteal phase but could that affect my sway? I need to lengthen it but maybe it will come back naturally but I just cant stay on this diet for months and months.

    What did the Ovusense tell you exactly? How did you use it?

    PLEASE do not take B6 and C. Yes, they will affect your sway negatively, but worse, they don't work for most people, and the B6 often makes matters worse anyway, so people end up not only with a short LP, but also a badly delayed ovulation too.

    Again, please go over your diet in detail. I suspect your LP is short because you are not eating enough, and in that case nothing you take will help. We have to be sure you are getting enough food, particularly fat and calories, to fix this.

    Drop fiber right away if you were using it.

    Hi I eat a lot. I actually have started to overeat to be honest. Usually around 2000 calories. I read vitamin b6 can lengthen luteal phase? If I don't take it..how could I lengthen my luteal phase or I wont be able to get pregnant. Maybe cut down amount of feeds baby takes?
    I think it may be short due to breastfeeding and only my 1st cycle since I had my baby. Ovusense showed I ovulated but then had my period today at 7dpo or 8Screenshot_20210117-025450_OvuSense.jpg

    I never have took fibre. I eat butter on my toast, have a full fat yoghurt and 2 oranges. I drink raw milk in my coffee. I eat cheese sandwiches for lunch with fruit and maybe 2 biscuits and meat and rice and sauce at dinner. I also have 1 snack which is a healthy nut bar. Sometimes wine

    No. Something is not right here and we must be proactive about figuring it out because otherwise we'll be right back here in a few months (if you're not eating enough, that is) and you've wasted time and will end up having to sway blue just to get pregnant again.

    99% of the time someone comes to me with a short LP they are not eating enough. Only very rarely is it due to breastfeeding, coming off BCP that kind of thing.

    2000 calories should be ok but what is your BMI? Sometimes we need nursing moms to go up to 2200.

    DO NOT TAKE B6. Not only does it sway blue, like I said above, most of the time people taking it find that their LP does not get longer, but then they also have a delayed ovulation.

    Yes, it's possible since it is your first cycle when nursing that plays some part but I have to err on the side of caution for you guys.

    hmm I definitely am eating enough though. Maybe my body had a shock due to not snacking so much and cutting out tea. I have 3 cups of coffee a day. Maybe the caffeine? I definitely do eat enough though. I have been pretty stressed and not sleeping. That maybe could have affected my progesterone? It says by can help. I feel maybe just cutting out 1 feed maybe could helpScreenshot_20210117-184013_Messenger.jpg

    I wouldn't take vitamins if you want a girl.

    You don't need to drop feeds, if it's down to breastfeeding we will see an improvement over time. If it's down to diet we'll tweak some things.
