Has anyone gotten pregnant and had a luteal phase shorter than 10 days? This was my first cycle to chart and I had only 9 days of high temperatures with a dip in the middle of those temps. I am hoping it was a fluke and we will find out better news charting this cycle. Was it difficult for you to get pregnant with this? What did your doctor do to correct it? We have been ttc for 1 year now. My husband just had a sperm analysis done and it came back great. I am having an FSH blood test today sinse it is the 3rd day of my period. These are the first steps my doctor recommended before we are referred to a fertility specialist. She also suggested charting my cycles for about 3 months to see any patterns. I have just started on my second cycle of charting. Please any advice would be helpful. We don't want to spend alot of unneccesary money if we don't have too.

Are there any tests or anything else that would have to be done to determine that I do have a luteal phase defect or does the doctor look at your charting and determine that you need progesterone? I plan on asking my doctor these questions in a few days but would like a heads up from someone whose been in this situation. I had an FSH blood test done today. So I didn't know if a blood test would need to be done to determine my progesterone level. Thanks for the info.

Usually if your luteal phase is less than 12 days then you're not going to be able to get pg without help. 9 days isn't long enough for an egg to make it to where it needs to be to be fertilized and implanted. This could definitely be due to a lack of progesterone. I would talk to your doctor about it. You can get put on progesterone supplements to lengthen your luteal phase. Good luck!!

It relies upon on how short is short. whether that's a minimum of 10 days, then there is not any issue. being pregnant could be accomplished with a minimum of 10 days. whether that's decrease than 10 days, the egg would possibly no longer have sufficient time to top implant. If it would not have the possibility, then it may no longer tell your physique to produce the being pregnant hormone hcg. Hcg will end your menstrual era by utilising conserving the progesterone extreme and the estrogen decrease. you're able to get pregnant, besides the indisputable fact which you will desire to to income with a physician to elongate the luteal section. ultimate of success to you!

Anything less than 10 days is a defect. Talk to your doctor because it can be solved with progesterone. Best wishes!

Your luteal phase needs to be at least 10 days to get pregnant. You need to see your OB.
