How do you figure out your luteal phase and is it different evry month?

Answer 1

Your leutal phase begins at ovulation, and ends when you menstruate. For example, a woman who has a 28 day cycle, and ovulates on day 14 of that cycle, would then have a 14 day leutal phase. If a woman's leutal phase is too long or too short, it may cause problems conceiving, and it is also theorised to be a factor in recurrent miscarriages.

As a woman does not always ovulate on the same day of her cycle each month, the leutal phase is not always the same length.

I'm going to include the link to a trying to conceive forum that I think you might find useful. It's full of supportive women with boundless knowledge about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.

Answer 2

The luteal phase is the time between ovulation and your menses. IMO the best way to figure it out is to begin charting using your basal body tempature and ovulation predictor kits. Try www.fertilityfriend.com - it is free and very informative.

Your luteal phase should be the same every month. Mine is 12 days.
