LP variation

in Trying to Get Pregnant
How much is it normal for the luteal phase to vary for one person? I've only temped for two full cycles, so I am still learning what is normal for me. However, I have had an 11 and 15 day luteal phase, which made me curious about what is normal. I've seen a lot of posts stressing that luteal phases tend to be the same, so I wondered about everyone else's experience.

    I've had a 6 day LP, a 9 day LP and my longest was 10 last cycle. I stopped birth control in late December so my body is probably still adjusting. However, my cycles are consistently 28/29/30 days.

    Shortest is 12 days and longest was 16 days. Generally, my LP is about 13 days.

    I'm surpised, or not as knowledgable as I thought..hmmm anyway my lp is 14-15 days I also thought one or two day difference is common along with a random shorter/longer lp but typically fairly typical.

    I thought they stayed constant too. I've only charted one full cycle and mine was 9 days, which worries me, but I'm waiting to see.

    @kap617, you got it right.

    And thanks everyone who responded. It's nice to know they LPs aren't as constant for everyone as I had convinced myself.

    The first year off of BC, I had a LP of 11. Now that it has been over a year I am consistently seeing, 12-13. Probably because I have been trying to get healthier.

    I've got five cycles where I charted and they ranged from 11-14. But sometimes I debate on what to call CD1 so that can cause some fluctuation I think.

    Also, to add to what everyone else has said, it's hard to see a pattern from only two months. My luteal phase is normally 13 days...it has been thirteen days EVERY month except for the third month I was temping, when it was something like 10 days. I am fairly certain about my O date because I was using OPKs AND temping. You might have to temp a few more months before really getting a handle on it.

    Mine are most frequently 11, but vary up to 14 with one 10 and one 15 thrown in there.  I think as long as they are within a few days and are 10 or longer you're good.

    Mine can range anywhere from 11 - 15 days. I think I had one that was 9 a few cycles back. But it's totally normal if they very here and there From my understanding as long as you're hitting at least 10 days long you're good.

    FF tells me I range from 10-17 days, but I'm not convinced about the 17 day one. Most of my charts imply 10-12 day LPs. I always miss a few temps so sometimes FF has trouble pinpointing my O day.

    My first one using temping & OPKs as an indicator of ovulation was 12 days, but my second one w/ temping & OPKs was 10 days.  I think variation is normal.

    my LP is always either 11 or 10. Its been 10 for about 4 months now. Its been helpful temping so as to know exactly when AF is going to show up or not.
