Hi ladies!
I was wondering if there were any others with a short luteal phase (LP) currently in the TWW? I know it's a different wait for us because everyone else is like "I'm testing on Monday!" and we're just praying the witch won't get us before Monday
I thought it would be a good idea to have a support group for each other, discuss LP lengthening experiences, and deal with not knowing when (if ever) we'll get to test.
About me:
LP length: Somewhere between 7-9 days. It varies, so that freaks me out. My most recent LP was 7 days with spotting on 7dpo.
Medications: I'm taking Vitex (lengthening LP, balancing hormones), Vitamin B6 (yes I know I should be taking the complex but I only found that out after I ordered 2 bottles of the B6 and I'm too cheap to waste them
), and Red Raspberry Leaf (balancing hormones). This is my first cycle on the B6 and Vitex, so we'll see how things go. I really wanted to try lengthening the LP by using herbs to naturally balance out my hormones before going for any medications.
Progesterone: Had progesterone tested at 3dpo; came back at 10.1 ng/mL.
Currently: 7dpo and TERRIFIED! Last cycle this was where my spotting began and period hit at 8dpo, so I'm going to be checking like a mad woman today. I had some spotting at 5dpo and was worried because it looked just like my typical pre-period spotting, but it only lasted 2 hours and no spotting at all since then. So fingers crossed it was maybe implantation?? Now I just need my cycle to hold out long enough for the HCG to build up and knock off the
!
Testing: Saturday (10dpo) if AF doesn't get me before then.
Prayers and baby dust for all you other LPers in the TWW with me!
