Thanks for your replies. I didnt chart at all when we were trying for our first. The short luteal phase might have been a problem then too as it did take 7 years but i trusted that the Fertility specialist knew what they were doing !!!!!

Well i might just continue charting and then make an appt with FA armed with the charts so they can investigate further.

Thanks again

Laura

There are schools of thought re: LPD, some specialists believe that it is imperative to have at least a 10 day LP in order to sustain a pregnancy, others believe that LP isn't a stand alone reason for conception problems and m/c. My GYN was on the sceptic side, we had an interesting discussion about it coz my LP was never longer than 10 days and frequently shorter. He didn't think the short LP was a factor in how long it took us to get pregnant.

I do wonder if it was tho, and also if it was related to my m/c at all. Still, this is my third ongoing pregnancy so it can't have been too major an issue.]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:49:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=410356&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#410356 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=410303&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#410303 Author: tiptoes

I'm the same as you and have been taking vitex and it's increased from 8 to 10. I'm taking vitamin B6 this month too and hope that adds even more - I'm aiming for at least 12, but hoping that I just get a BFP instead ;)

I read something like 85% of implantation is after 8DPO so that means chances of implanting are pretty slim.

I'd heard your luteal phase is usually the same, so it might be worth talking to your GP or taking some supplements. My GP didn't sound like she knew what I meant about the LPD so I've gone the vitamin track.

Having a short luteal phase means that you don't build up enough endometrium in the uterus for a fertilised egg to implant properly.

I was told by my GP that a 10 day luteal phase is a the absolute minimum it should be, but preferably 12 to 14 days.]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:35:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=410287&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#410287 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=409901&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#409901 Author: queenbean

It is supposed to be the same every cycle, but mine never was.

Hi
in the latest treasures magazine there is a letter from a lady who had a short luteal phase and kept having miscarriages, she took vitamin B6 from the 1st day of her cycle and got pg and no miscarriage. Might be worth you reading this if you can get a copy. Good Luck]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:46:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=409776&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#409776 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=409602&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#409602 Author: Konagirl

That's my understanding as well, it's something that needs to be looked at as can hinder your ability to have a baby.
In answer to your other question I don't think the luteal phase changes much, 1 day pretty maximum.]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 07:58:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=409602&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#409602 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=409591&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#409591 Author: Vanillabean

Yep, I'm afraid an 8 day LP does make it harder to get pregnant because it gives the embryo less time to implant. However, this is something that can vary and there are lots things you can do to lengthen the luteal phase including acupuncture, vitamins and other alternative remedies and also progesterone supplements from the GP.

Good luck and I hope this was just a one off for you.]]> Wed, 11 Jun 2008 07:19:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=409591&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#409591 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18128&PID=409545&title=charting-and-luteal-phase#409545 Author: Kicker

Does anyone here know what impact having an 8 day luteal phase has on the chance of pregnancy. Does it make it harder to get pregnant.

Also for the ladies who have been charting for a while, does the luteal phase change at all or do you find it pretty constant through your cycles.

Thanks for your help.
