Luteal Phase not 14 days - normal?

Not sure if anyone knows this, but my luteal phase was about 9 days long. That isn't the normal 14 I keep hearing. Should I be concerned?
Me: 37 DH:41
10/2009 - TTC#1 Stopped BCP! Let's DO this!
1/2010 - BFP (Natural) --> 10/2010 - DS born! Yay!
12/2010 - DH diagnosed with stage 3B testicular cancer. #cancersucks
10/2011 - Complications with DH and lymph nodes in groin area removed. No longer able to ejaculate.
1/2014 - TTC#2 - IUI#1. No luck. Findings: DH sperm did not survive freeze. RE recommends IVF with ICSI.
3/2014 - IVF Cycle #1 Started BCP
4/2014 - Lupron, Gonal-F, and Menopur
5/7/2014 - ER day (25 eggs retrieved, 15 mature)
5/10/2014 - 6 fertilized, 3 embryos frozen - one grade A and two Grade B. Plan was to grow out to blastocyst stage but rest of eggs arrested by day 3. Decided to freeze on day 3.
2/9/2016 - FET #1 with Grade A (8 cell - 3 day embryo); 2/20 - Beta was <5. BFN.  :/ Waiting for period and start next FET.
7/8/2016 - FET #2 with Grade B (8 cell - 3 day embryo), fingers crossed this one sticks. :)
7/19 - Beta was 74. BFP!!!!; 7/21 - Beta was 182; 1st U/S on 8/2; 2nd U/S on 8/16 :)

    Are you doing fertility treatments? If not, this is probably not the right board for you. If you are, you should be on progesterone to lengthen the LP.

    I will be having my first IUI procedure in July. I've charted for two months and noticed that the cycle length is not regular. No meds, just supplements (Pregnitude).

    To provide a small history, my DH was diagnosed with stage 3B testicular cancer and went through chemo and has been in remission for over a year now. Thank god his oncology doctor recommended we bank.  Unfortunately, my DH's sperm levels are low due to the illness and stress of having to bank right before having chemo. We have about 11 vials banked (with about 9 mil swimmers spread of the amount of vials). Due to complications of his treatment through surgery of his lymph nodes, he is now sterile and does not ejaculate. So we are now going the IUI route. I just received word last month that I have a low ovarian reserve (Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) 1.42) at the age of 34. Turns out at my age, the normal range is up to 8.43 ng/ml and when lower than 2.0, they start considering more aggressive treatments sooner.

    Ok, well your LP length is not an issue if you are doing an IUI. They put you on progesterone. My husband has lowish count and morph and before treatments my LP was 7 days. My RE said my LP length will not matter because of the meds.
