What is considered a short Luteal Phase??

I'm not sure when I ovulate anymore. Before the m/c I was always CD14 (I'm on a 28 day cycle). After that i was on CD16 and now that I've had a 2nd m/c I really have no clue when I O at all.

I tried doing the OPKs this month (I'm on CD14 right now) and I guess I still haven't O'd, even though I've had the EWCM these past couple days.

I'm curious what is actually considered a short Luteal Phase though. If I get it on CD16 on a 28 day cycle, does that mean something bad?

If you O later than usual, and don't have an LP problem, you'll just get AF later than usual.

The "O" date is what fluctuates in a woman's cycle, not the LP (by more than a day or two).

Any LP shorter than 10 days is considered problematic, although mine is usually 9-10 days and I've gotten pregnant twice with the help of b-complex vitamins. Some women need further medical intervention because a short LP can mean there are other issues (such as a progesterone deficiency).

Good luck
