trying for second

ash1986lee

Been TTC for 6 months now (yes I know this isn't that long in the whole grand scheme of things). I've been charting and I've noticed a few things, the biggest one being I ovulate "late" in my cycle (CD 21 and 19 of a 30 and 26 day cycle). This makes my LP 7-9 days. When I do get my period it is very light for a few days, and I've had spotting a couple days before AF.
I want to make an apt to discuss with my dr but I know she'll just dismiss it saying I haven't been trying long enough. If there might be a reason I'm having trouble this time around id rather get to the bottom of it now.
Anyone have something similar happen? Advice/things that worked for you

Hi @ash1986lee.  May I ask if you breastfed your first and if so, when you weaned/how many PP periods you've had?  I noticed my LP was short the first few cycles after weaning my daughter and was concerned about it.  I read on one of the boards about this happening to a few other people and that their LPs lengthened out over the first 6 months after weaning.  You might want to give it another month or two if you've only charted a couple and see if it improves over time.  Just a thought.  Good luck!

Thank you for responding. @Heath&Jas‌ I did not breastfeed my first (tried and was unable to). I read that as well

I'd probably go see your doctor then. You may just need some progesterone to help lengthen your LP.
