Help me extend my luteal phase :)

[happybeany]

I think I've got a short luteal phase... I have only been properly charting this month, but was using OPK's loosely before. I always get positives late in my cycle, about 7 days before AF. This month is (in theory) 5 days - I'm due today, but no AF yet so might be longer hopefully

I got pregnant with my son really, really late in my cycle last year, and had a mini period so I didn't even realise I was pregnant at first - so I know I can get pregnant and keep it..

Is there anything I can do to naturally extend my luteal phase?

Vitamin b6 is supposed to help people with short luteal phases

Thanks! I'm so new to *trying* to conceive!

It is kind of controversial to some people, but soy isoflavones helped me ovulate. I heard they help you ov. early sometimes, I got my +opk cd12. Good luck girl!

I bought some earlier today, I need to look them up a bit more and learn how to use them properly but hoping that they work for me!

No AF for this cycle yet so I'm still hopeful

Soy usually does make women O earlier. So you could try that but at your own risk because it could mess up your cycle too. I would take a b6 but it will only work if you take it along with a b complex though from everything I have seen.

Yeah I got both of those. Thinking of just going down that route next time as I know I can get pregnant with my short lp, and I do ovulate, just late
