Vit B 6 can lengthen the luteal phase - and maca powder capsules are beneficial for your progesterone levels. You can take up to 200 mg total per day . It is best taken with a vit B complex. Marilyn Shannon's book "Fertility, Cycles, and Nutrition" covers all topics related to fertility including short luteal phase. It is well worth reading. There is great advice on how to improve your lp and fertility with nutrition and supplements. I have been dealing with a relatively short lp due to age (average 11 days). According to my specialist this is still sufficient for conception and I am not using progesterone supplements. Mucus can be enhanced by taking evening primrose oil, black currant oil, borage seed oil from CD 1 to ov. You can take one or the other or a combination of all. Find out what dosage works for you. I am taking 3,000 mg a day and it has improved my fertile mucus considerably in quantity and quality. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

We have almost the exact same cycle!! My cycles are usually 28 days. Sometimes a little less sometimes a little more. And I tend to ovulate somewhere between day 15-17. My luteal phase is rarely over 11 days and half of the time I spot before my pd starts. My doc just put me on clomid. First cycle didn't work out so he is putting me on it for 2 days longer as he doesn't want to shock my ovaries. If I am to get pregnant I am to call right away and he will get me some progesterone. I have been trying for 13 cycles and in a few days I will be on to my 14th cycle. In my year of trying I did the b6, along with all these other things people said to try and nothing worked for me. So before my appt. I quit doing all those things to get my body back to normal for when I saw the doc. Could be a coincidence but I also noticed during my last few cycles that when I quit drinking soda even just my one a day my luteal phase was longer once cycle by two days another by 1. Good luck!!!
