TTC After a Loss

Shorter Cycles after D & C?

I just finished with my first normal cycle after my D & C, I got my first period after my D & C 28 days after the procedure and my first normal cycle just ended at 25 days.

I just started charting on FF and I noticed that I ovulated on day 14 and my LP was only 11 days so my cycle was 25 days.  Did anyone else have a shorter cycle or a shorter LP after having a miscarriage?  Do you think this is something I should be worried about if I continue to only have a 11 day LP?  I've read having a shorter LP makes it harder to get pregnant, is 11 days too short?

I didn't chart before I became pregnant.  My 3 cycles before becoming pregnant were 30 days and the 6 cycles before those cycles were 25.  I had the 6 cycles that were only 25 days right after stoping birth control pills.  I was trying to not get pregnant at the time of those cycles. 

TIA!

Re: Shorter Cycles after D & C?

  • I am not sure how short the LP phase has to be before they consider it as a "luteal phase defect", but I would check with your OB just to make sure they don't want to check your hormone levels.

    I just wanted to say that I only hope I can have shorter cycles after my D&C as my cycles prior to BFP were 31-35 days on metformin, which I am going to try to avoid taking this time around and see what happens:)

    Good luck with TTC!
