Short LP after miscarriage

mijakachmijakach member
in TTC After a Loss

I started spotting earlier today and it just started getting heavier. So it looks like it is most likely AF. I would say that I'm ecstatic that AF is finally here which means I can officially start TTC again. But I'm only 10 dpo, which means a 9 day LP.

I've never charted before, so I have no clue what my typical LP is, and if this is just short because of the m/c. So I was wondering, have any of you noticed a shorter LP after miscarriage that went back to normal the next cycle?

Obviously I'm concerned since I know LP should be at least 12 days. I'll definitely be calling my doctor, but I can't call until at least Monday. So until then, I figured I'd see what your experiences have been. Thanks!

    I didn't chart before, and actually still don't, but my LP was only 9-10 days on my last cycle, which was my first post-m/c. I know this isn't helpful to you, but you're not alone!

    How long has it been since your loss ?  Your first few cycles after a loss can be really wonky... And if you never charted before, it's hard to say...

    My loss was 4 weeks ago today. I ovulated on CD19. I wish I was reading my chart wrong, but it looks like ovulation day was pretty clear.

    My doctor gave me the go ahead to start TTC right after my first AF. I'm just worried about another m/c if I get pregnant this cycle and still have a short LP. It just sucks that I'm basically looking for any possible thing that could be wrong with me. I have a hard time with believing that my first m/c was just a fluke/issues with chromosomal abnormalities.

    I've recently read that your LP will NOT vary as much as your pre-o will.

    Most doctors will consider 10 days to be a normal luteal phase.

    I've been averaging 10-11 days during LP since my 4th m/c. I've suspected it since my 1st m/c and 4 out of 5 doctors have either told me LPD does not exist or there is no way to diagnosis it and discussed just putting me on progesterone.

    I'm warning that your doctor may turn his/her nose at you when you suggest this. Just beware & stand your ground.

    The 5th doctor I found through Fertility Care. After a hormonal profile on 3, 5, 7, 9 & 11 dpo she diagnosed me with Type III LPD. Its being treated w/ hcg trigger injections on 5, 7 & 9 dpo. Feel free to check out my blog. I talk about it a lot!

    Good luck!

    I'm waiting for first AF after my D&C but I can tell you that FF has my average LP at 11 days prior to my miscarriage.  We'll see what this coming week brings.   Hopefully an AF!  Good luck to you!

    I don't have much to add because I didn't chart before my m/c. I charted the month I got my BFP, so I'm not really sure. I do know that post m/c, I O'd 4 days later than the time I charted, and then my LP was only 10 days. But again, I'm not sure if that was normal for me or not...

    Yes, my LP was only 9 days after my m/c; after that it increased to 11 or 12.  I also have been taking B6 to help increase it.

    I'm sorry it took so long and that so many doctors just brushed it off. I'll check out your blog - thanks. :)
