Short luteal phase
So me and my partner have been ttc since June 1st 2024 after I came off the implant May 23rd 2024 (didn’t count the very first period after the removal) so it’s not been a year yet! However I’ve noticed my cycles have been irregular in terms of length and I’ve noticed after tracking temp and confirming ovulation that I have a luteal phase of 9-10 days with it averaging on 10 days. I had a chemical in July as well and have no known fertility issues. I’m afraid that the fact my luteal phase short is the reason it’s not “sticking”. I’m also 25 in February and doubt a gp would see me yet due to my age but don’t want to leave it “too late” either? Any advice would be much appreciated ❤️

@Clara that’s exactly what I thought too, because if that’s the reason I’m not catching then I’d rather seek help sooner then later like you said with the waiting lists etc. I just don’t know how to go about it at all.
I just called my GP said I’d been trying a year and nothing had happened, then they booked me in for an appointment pretty quickly tbh.
We were 27 when we approached our GP after 6 months of trying. We were listened to and both had tests carried out before being referred for IVF, in September 2023 after 2 years of trying we fell pregnant with our son just 2 months before IVF was due to start. He is now 8 months old. Definitely don’t be afraid to approach your GP and don’t give up hope x

I don’t have any advice really, but my luteal phase is consistently 10 days and I also had a chemical and since then it’s been 15 months and I’ve not had a single positive test and currently in the middle of IVF. I went to the GP when I was 27 and I felt listened to and I was referred to fertility clinic within a few months. But then again some people can conceive naturally with a 10 day luteal phase so it might happen for you just take a little more time. I guess there’s no harm going to the GP and getting in the system, as there could be a lot of waiting around. Good luck x
