Hey- my LP was 7 days or less until my daughter was 14 months old, and then i started B6 and progesterone cream (emerita) and cut down feeds to 2-3 per day and it went to 10 days, then the next cycle I got pregnant. I'm still BF her, so there's hope!

My RE says aside from nursing, a short LP is usually a sign of weak ovulation...he really believes clomid is the way to lenghten it. It has always worked for me and my lp was like 8 days before doing it. i am on progesterone too though. Big hugs...it is so frustrating knowing you don't stand a chance. My lp was 8 days...i did 1 cycle of clomid and pregnant. Then it was like 8 days again, clomid and lp was 12 days but no bfp.

I was laying in agony in bed because of cramps and DH came in and was telling me that he remembered my OB and NP saying that they thought I may have endometriosis. Something about my internal exam after c/s and the terrible cramps I get each cycle. They didn't note ANYTHING in my records though.

call your OB again and also bring up the endo. Demand to be seen and if they still hassle you, get a new OB. Endo is nothing to mess with since it can only get worse (scar tissue). You may just need the lap to get 'cleaned out.' I understand the no insurance right now but, for now, it would only be an office visit. Is that do-able? I know my mom struggled to get pregnant with me, found out she had endo, had the lap and the very next cycle, BFP with me. It is definitely worth a discussion with your OB at this point. Big super hugs, Anjuli

Huge hugs! I had a super short LP too. 5-7 days long. When you are able, I would get a second opinion from a different Dr too. My Dr was willing to work with me after just 6 months. I took Clomid and progesterone and the combo worked. Prior to that when I took both B6 and vitex, my LP was about a day longer. If you can't get to a Dr for a while, I would try B6, vitex and natural progesterone cream and see if that helps at all. Having such a short LP is so very frustrating! It sucks feeling like you don't even have a shot at pregnancy because your body won't give it a chance. I really hope that you are able to figure something out. Huge hugs!
