Long Luteal Phase! Help!!
Hi
I need all your help and advise please. I have a 37 day cycle usually and I have been trying to get pregnant now for the last six months so no such luck as I was always using the ovulation Calculator on the Internet. However this month I have used the ovulation kits and I have discovered that I ovulate on cycle day 16. This leaves me with having a 22 day Luteal phase. Can anyone give me any advise or is this going to be a problem? I have read about short Luteal phases but nothing about long ones.
Thanks

Pregnancy test calculator
Use this calculator to help you decide when to take your first home pregnancy test.

Having a long luteal phase shouldn't cause you issues. A short luteal phase is an issue (if it's less than 9 or 10), because that doesn't give a fertilized egg time to attach and burrow in before the lining starts to shed.
I know it's frustrating, but six months is totally within the 'norm' for a healthy couple. If you haven't already, you could try taking robitussin before you ovulate and see if that helps you conceive - I swear that's how I got pregnant with my second.
Good luck!
