Hi ladies!
So, since coming off BCP 5 cycles ago, my luteal phase ranges between 9-11 days, and my CM is slowly becoming non-existent for some reason. I want to start taking supplements. We've only been TTC for this cycle, but just got AF, and I need to feel like I'm doing something about increasing my chances of getting a BFP and having a healthy pregnancy...so I'm hoping to increase my luteal phase. I have come up with a tentative plan...but it might be overkill because I'm taking A LOT of different things.
I thought about taking the vitex for my whole cycle...I'm just super nervous about it messing up my overall cycle timing, but I've also heard so many positives about it! My cycles range between 25-30 days with O between day 14-19, so I'm not too worried about the length of my cycle, but mainly my luteal phase (and also the amount of CM I get), so this is my initial plan (it's intense). Any thoughts?
Whole Cycle –
Prenatals, baby Aspirin, Vitamin C and B Complex
CD1 to O –
Vitex and RRL tea
Around O –
OPKs for SMEP purposes, Conceive Plus, Mucinex
Luteal Phase –
Progesterone Cream
I temp and chart my CM too.
I was so down last night, but I have new resolve today to make this work! I would LOVE it if you ladies with experience in short luteal phases and using supplements had any input. Thank you!!
