Does anyone have a short luteal phase of 8-10 days? Did Clomid work for you? Any other options?
Some doctors (many actually) will prescribe Clomid to help with a short luteal phase along with prometrium (an oral progesterone supplement) or progesterone suppositories. Personally, my luteal phase is typically only 10 days. From what I've read, this can cause problems and most doctors will state that anything under 12 days could be an issue (though some say it's anything less than 10 days). I started taking Vitex this cycle to try and help... and it did! In just one cycle of taking Vitex I ovulated sooner than usual (on CD11 instead of CD16) and my luteal phase was extended by two days (up to 12 days this cycle). I can only hope that continued use will just keep making things better as Vitex is known to have a cumulative effect over time. That's a personal choice for you though. Many doctors will go ahead and see and treat you if you can confirm/prove a luteal phase defect. So, you can go to the doctor and get medical intervention, or you can try the Vitex and see if that helps out. Good luck to you and tons of baby dust your way.

Has anyone with a short luteal phase managed to conceive?
I start to get spotting 7 days after ovulation and then the full period comes about 3 or 4 days later. Even if my husband's sperm fertilises my egg, the period comes too quickly for them to implant. Is anybody else in this situation? Have you managed to get pregnant? Does anyone know of any solutions?

Hi, Are you charting to be sure that you know when you are ovulating and not having a miscarriage? Perhaps that the best thing for you to do is to take your charts and make an appointment with a fertility specialist. I know that there are natural remedies that you can take but i am not sure how safe they are. A fertility specialist will be able to help you as there is medication that you can take. I am sorry that i can not be of much help.
