Short Luteal phase, suggestions?

[AidensMama]

Been TTC for over a year now with some seriously irregular cycles. AF showed up today after only a 6 or 7 day LP. I know that this is not good, and probably points to a hormonal issue.

I am going to the GP in a few weeks and we are planning to do a smear and check my thyroid and some other basic levels. I'm going to bring up the short LP and progesterone and see what she has to say.

I am just wondering if anyone could recommend some vitamins or supplements that might be useful in working on this issue?

The only vitamin I came across when researching this was vitamin B6. It works for some women, it didn't work for me. Starting clomid helped for a cycle, then it went short again so I am now on clomid plus progesterone support. If you are LTTTC then you really need to get your GP to refer you to a fertility clinic to give you the investigations and help you need.

I would def be taking B6 as well as OTC progesterone cream at least until you are able to see the dr. I am in the same boat and am taking both this month to hopefully lengthen my LP which is 9 days!

What cream are you using, if you don't mind me asking? I'll be interested to see what it does for your cycle.
