Hi Mumma2be, my LP was usually between 9-11 days which I think was quite short and I usually got spotting around day 4 - 8dpo. I started taking clomid to help bring OV forward in my cycle as I was having very long cycles overall. In the cycle I got pregnant I think OV was around CD16-18 which is the earliest it has ever been, no early spotting and a nice BFP at the end of it.
Hope this helps
