Pregnant after short luteal phase?

I have only been charting two cycles, so I don't have a lot or comparison this time around. My last cycle only had a luteal phase of 8 days, so I was surprised when I got a + at 11 DPO this cycle. I'm currently 16 DPO and still getting a positive test. What I'm wondering is about short luteal phase and miscarriage. Everything be read says if you conceive with a short LP, there is a higher likelihood of early miscarriage. What I'm confused about is the term early miscarriage. In this case, does that mean like a chemical pregnancy or sometime in the next few weeks? Since I was only charting for two cycles, I have no idea if my 8 day LP was a fluke or f all my LPs have been short since my period returned in December. Just trying to figure out the terminology bc a lot of articles sound very ominous regarding conception after a Short LP.

    I don't have any input for you, but I was wondering whereabouts you were.  I saw your BFP on TTGP (yay!), but then you never really appeared here. 

    Do you have a dr's appt yet?  Can they do betas to help you determine how things are going?  FX for you.

    I agree with PP. I would call your OB and see if they will run your betas, just to give you some peace of mind:)

    I only had a 9 day LP when charting with DD (3 cycles), so I knew on the 10th day when I didn't see spotting that I had a chance. 

    I did have red spotting both with DD and this pregnancy around 6/7 wks, but both have been healthy pregnancies.

    Good luck!

    We've been on vacation, so I haven't been very active around here! I'll email my nurses' and see what they say. I don't think I can go in until we get back Monday, unless an urgent care can do the bloodwork.

    I called my ob and they said everything sounds fine, but they would be happy to check my hormone levels. We are out of town right now, so I guess I'll go first thing Monday.
