Hi, I have a short LP of 8 days...any point trying?
Hi, I am on day 16 of a 31 day cycle, I don't O till day 23 and only have a LP of 8 days (see my last 3 cycles) Is there any point trying this month? I take B6 and EPO plus have some progesterone cream this month. GP doing test after O but say they won't treat short LP because I have 2 kids and am 40. Should I just be happy with what I have or is there a chance I could get pregnant with such a short LP. Tks x

It's fairly unlikely that you will get pregnant with that short of an LP, as a fertilized egg needs more time than that to implant. BUT, I have significantly lengthened my LP by taking Vitex. I used to have a LP of 7 or 8 days and it is now 12 days after 3 months on the Vitex. You can pick it up at any vitamin or health food store. I highly recommend it! Good luck!!

I take false unicorn root for the first half of my cycle then vitex for the second half. I have heard that you can take vitex for the full cycle as well. The false unicorn root balances hormones and helpf increase FSH, vitex helps with progesterone.
I also take prenatals, royal jelly and EPO until ovulation.
I'm 38 and trying for my second using a donor. I MC and on my 5th month 3DPO
Good luck, it's hard when your body doesn't do what you want it to!

Thankyou so much for your info and I'm so sorry for your mc. It is so hard :( I am seeing a different GP to interperet blood reuslts this month so think ill see what he says and go from there. Its frustrating waiting for the 'special' dates to test since I don't ovulate till late but I will be patient and wait. I'm not one to give up but if my body dosnt want to work as it should then I really have little choice. Good Luck to you all :)
