Help on Short Luteal Phase
The penny has dropped on what is now wrong with my body and all of my excitment and hope has gone - at least until I can speak to the doctor about it.
I remember at least one of you has said that they do ovulate - but becos of the high prolactin levels, the FSH gets inhibited and so the follicle doesnt develop properly, so that when you do ovulate the egg that released is immature and therefore no good for fertilisation. I also remember someone said that they miscarried on high prolactin levels because the luteal phase is short, and they ovulate late in the cycle, so there isnt enough time/hormone for the egg to implant safely???
I think this might be happening to me. Ive never ovulated while Ive been off the pill since March 07 and this month I ovulated last week. Im now 6 dpo and I have got very definate af pains - so af is very much on her way. This would mean that I ovulated late in my cycle? And then this would mean that the egg that was relased would be immature????
Has anybody had this and if so what have you been given to help with it? Im expecting clomid. But I was wondering if anyone might have been given progesterone to help with the luteal phase? This is just a theory so i might not be right
