Short Cycle TTC

in Trying to Get Pregnant
I consider myself to have a short cycle (23 days).  I've read that having a short cycle can cause a woman to not produce enough progesterone to sustain a pregnancy.  I have had a miscarriage before, about two years ago, and we JUST started TTC last month so I know it's probably too soon to start worrying but I don't want to go through a miscarriage again.  Should I go to a Dr and try to see what to do about the short cycles and get tested for low progesterone?  I've seen progesterone creams, should I just use some of that?  Ugh, I feel like I'm rambling... My husband thinks I should just relax but I can't.

    I guess I should chart.  Not sure how to do it... I understand the temp but how do you track your fluids and cervix? I have to read up on it, I guess. Thanks for the input!

    yeah, I would definitely start charting, then you can see if your have short LPs.  Mine vary, but I have had a few that were only 9 days, so I am planning to bring this up to my doctor next month when I go in for my annual.

    Being new here, the first thing I did was check out FF because of all the suggestions. It helped me understand a lot. I am a nurse and there is so much I did not know until I read up there.

    Yeah, I never thought there would be so much to this getting pregnant... I know so many people who "didn't mean to" that it feels crazy that we have to TRY... I guess everyone here's probably had that thought... Not that I've been trying for long but I thought it would just happen on the first month!  I guess I should be 16 and doubling up on condoms.  I hear that works! jk

    Thanks for the advise, I already signed up for the FF website and I'm reading through it now!
