Xpost to TTC - Possible dumb question

Posting here also, b/c this board gets a LOT more traffic...

My regular cycle is on the short side (about 24 days) - does this also necessarily mean I have a short luteal phase? I have a pretty short AF (usually 2-3 days - never longer) so I'm wondering if this MIGHT mean my luteal phase could be a normal length? Sorry if this is a stupid question!

Pretty sure I didn't even ovulate last month (it was my first month off BC in 15 years) but now my cycle seems to be back to the way it was pre-BC... so, I have NOT used an OPK, but will next month if we're not successful this month.

No not necessarily. You could ovulate early and still have a normal LP.

My AF only lasted 3ish days as well... I only had a 26 day cycle, i just ovulated like 2 days earlier... When you figure out your Ovulation you'll have a better idea.

No question is a dumb question.

My cycles were like 23-28 days; no matter what I began to ovulate on day 14-15 like clockwork and would still get my period on day 23. The earliest I had it was day 21 one cycle but I still ovulated on time.

As Ang said once you figure out ovulation everything else will fall into play.

Thanks!

not a dumb question but if you've only been off birth control for 1 month, at least for me, it took a few months for my cycle to sorta normalize
