Shorter follicular phase. Bad or good change?

[kazine]

Okay, cycle 1, I got my positive OPK on CD19 and ovulated on day 20. Someone suggested vitex so I started taking it and have started seeing result pretty much straight away.

On cycle 2, I didn't get a real positive OPK but my chart showed I ovulated on CD15.

Cycle 3 and I just got my positive OPK on CD10.

Bad or good? I don't know if a short follicular phase is a bad thing? If it stays at 10/11 days is that okay? If it gets shorter, how much shorter is okay? :s

From what I know and have read the follicular phase isn't much of a concern as long as your LP is at least 10 days to allow time for implantation. How long are your cycles ...... Mine is 29-30 days. Mostly 29....and ovulate CD18

Cycle 1 was 31 days,
Cycle 2 was 27 days...

LP consistently 12 years so not worried about that

It will likely not affect fertility. As long as lp is healthy.....fp doesn't matter.....I know personally a couple of women who got pregnant the day after their ..... Period ended ovulated on CD 6 and 8 and got bfps. With now happy healthy babies.

I wouldn't worry about it! I generally ovulate between CD12-15 and on the one cycle I actually got pregnant, I got a positive opk on CD10 and ovulated on CD11.

With this pregnancy I had a short follicular phase (it was my first AF after birth some I'm guessing my cycle was a little messed up). But anyway I got a +OPK on CD8 and ovulated on CD 9 or 10 (instead of my usual CD14-15) and we're having a healthy baby girl

Thanks everyone! I ovulated CD11 but I'm hoping my follicular phase won't get too much shorter!
