lp of ten days help needed

[lozzie27]

Hi girls! Only been ttc for approx 2 months the first month I got pg but had a mc at five weeks 1 day that was on the 23rd of Feb. So I am quite new to the game, I have been using opks and have just been messing about with ovulation calculaters on line and realise I have a lp of ten days (maybe 9) I have read that anything between 10 and 14 is normall but below this you will struggle to support a pregnancy. So I am now wondering if this is the reason for my early m/c is there anything I can do to help this anything you girls can suggest or have experienced the same thing. I am due to ovulate on or around the 9th of April I had my af on the 23rd of March is there anything I can do this cycle to lengthen this this month or do I have to wait till cd1 next month!? Many thanks

You would need to see your doctor to have your hormone levels tested such as progesterone to see if this is a problem. It's definitely a good thing to do regardless- and even more so after having a mc!! You can take progesterone supplements if you have an issue there. Best of luck hun!

I think you can also take Agnus Castus. It's supposed to help with a shortened luteal phase. A friend of mine tried it after 18 months of TTC and got pregnant right away!!

oohh thanks hanskiz will google that now!!! Not sure if anything will help me this cycle as I am already on cd8 but i will give it a go!!!

I'd imagine the Agnus Castus would be quite effective for you as your LP is only a little shortened. Don't know when yo can start it though. xx

Hi just thought I would add my bit! After always having a normal LP, mine dropped down to about 9-10days, DH and I had being TTC for 3 months, went to see doc she said not a problem?!
I researched (like you) and took Vit B complex 100 (one a day) and agnus castus twice a day (upto O only) got pregnant first month and I am nearly ten weeks. Have not had progesterone levels checked as the amount of throwing I am doing and the absolutely huge and painful (.)(.) proves to me the hormones are doing okay!

I have had a previous mc at 10 weeks so fingers crossed this time.

Good luck sweetie, certainly worked for me!
