Luteal phase questions

I went off BCP 2 months ago and began charting.  We aren't TTC yet, but sometime in the future we will.  For the last 2 months my luteal phase has been 7 days and 8 days.  I know that's not good for TTC.  These are my questions:

 1.  How long is your average luteal phase?

2.  Is this something that might change the longer I'm off BCP? Or is it just the biology of my body?

3.  Is there anything I can be doing to change this now, before we TTC?  Anything natural/homeopathic?

Re: Luteal phase questions

  • I've been off birth control since the beginning of July. My cycles have always been right around 28 days and my LP is 12 days.

    ?This month though is an entirely different story.

    ?Take a look at my chart.?

  • My LP was a little on the short side after stopping birth control pills (which I expected, as my body was just adjusting) but I did add in a B6 supplement and it seemed to help. I don't have many charts becuase we got pregnant fast but it definitley did increase my LP.
  • Just an FYI.  I voted 11-13, since my normal natural LP is 12.  However, I am on monthly prog. supps and that makes my LP 19 now.
