9 mo TTC after IUD Short luteal phase

am nearing the end of my 9th month of TTC. When I first got my Mirena IUD out, had 13-14 day luteal phase for 3 cycles. Then I got a fever a couple days post ovulation and had AF on 5 DPO. Ever since I've had 8-11 day luteal phase. Have tried Vitex, B6, and now progesterone cream to try to lengthen phase. We have also been using FertileCM, PreeSeed, and Conceive+ because I have little to no EWCM naturally.

Seems bizzare to loose days in luteal phase. We're starting a workup to rule out early ovarian failure (came back fine) and tomorrow we are having a semen analysis done. We're both young (27 and 30) and in relatively good health (although I do have autoimmune arthritis). Next cycle we plan on using Clomid (assuming semen analysis comes back okay).

Anyone else have similar experience? I keep hoping AF doesn't show this month, but it's hard to expect anything else at this point...
