Spotting since 8dpo- Possible luteal phase defect?

outbumberedmomrn

I have been spotting since 8dpo and I don't know if this is could be a symptom of LPD? I know if your LP is too short if it is less than 10 days. I know I will probably get my period tomorrow or Monday which will be 12-13 dpo but would it be right to assume that spotting since 8dpo means low progesterone? I'm sorry if this post is a little confusing, I am having a hard time trying to find the right wording to explain this. 

TIA. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

It could be, but one cycle of spotting wouldn't concern me too much. A pattern is more telling.

I was thinking the same thing. It took DH and I about a year to conceive DS and I am thinking maybe LPD was one reason why.

Well, LPD's do suck, but they are easily treatable with Clomid and progesterone support if that's the only issue. We also have MFI, which makes things a bit more complicated.

Clomid + Prometrium lengthens my LP from 8-10 days to 14-16, so that's a plus! Now, if only I could just get KTFU!

I start spotting anywhere from 2dpo to 8dpo and then spot for the remainder of my LP.  In my case, I actually do have a LPD.  I would see if it's something that continues for a few cycles.  If it does, I would check in with your doctor.
