Hey congrats!
I ovulate REALLY late (between cd20 and 25) so WOULD LOVE a day 14 ovulation! Am hoping to try Clomid in a few months as I also have a 8/9 lp. Apparently the lp is normally not the bit of the cycle that varies - it's the bit before - but I have heard that Clomid works by regulating the before and after bit so you'll hopefully be fine. Congrats! Now go and make the most of it ;-) ! x

so if i ovulate late i will have a short lp ????? I thought no matter when you ovulated it was 14 days? Im so confused.

Hi Julianasmommy
No - from what I understand most women have a fairly fixed luteal phase that lasts anywhere from 8 days (considered short) to 15 or even 16. Mine is always 9-10, so if I ovulate on day 20, I'll start AF on day 30, but if I ovulate on day 25, I'll start AF on day 35. Am trying to extend my LP though, so want to ovulate sooner so I get more goes at it each year!

No, it's not always 14 days. It's 14 days if you have a 28 day cycle but not everyone does. Mine varies. If I have a 30 day cycle I end up ovulating on day 16. So, it doesn't mean you have a LPD.
