Almost always 14. But sometimes 15 when my body feels like screwing with me.

This past cycle it was 14 and it is the only cycle that I have used OPKs on. I think it can be anywhere from 12-14, but they were a shorter when I was breastfeeding/weaning.

Without progesterone, it was 12ish days but I would spot anywhere from 1-3 days beforehand.

Mine has been 8-10 days since I've been charting. Getting my progesterone checked this month to see what's going on.

My RE wants a minimum of 12 days.
I'm usually at least 12, but have fallen short of that a few times, so I now take progesterone during my LP to help out.

@Happygal: I was solidly 12 to 14 but last cycle was 10 and this cycle I'm already spotting at 11.

Pre-baby it was 12-13. Now it's still regulating (first cycle was 7 days, second was 10, hoping for 12+ this time).

Mine used to be 10 days. I have no idea now because I haven't been tracking

I'm not consistent, I've had anywhere from 11-14 days. I can't complain about a short LP. I'm 14 DPO right now, and still just spotting, so we'll see what the next day or two holds for me.

Mine is between 8 and 9 days, but I spot for 3 to 5 days beforehand. Trying to figure out what's going on as my progesterone test came back "normal".

@sarahnicole218: Fingers crossed for you!! I'm in a similar boat. 10 dpo and still spotting, but nothing else so far.

When I was charting it was 13 days. I don't know if that's changed now.

@RonniLeigh: Apparently I just had to talk about it for AF to finally arrive. This LP was 13 days.

@sarahnicole218: Oh boo. Isn't that the worst! It usually happens to me whenever I finally break down and test.

Almost always 12 days. Although I sometimes spot very lightly only on 8 or 9 dpo.

It has ranged from 8-12, with an average around 10 days. Hoping to get my progesterone tested soon...

Mine used to be 12-14 days but nursingy son it was initially 6 days. Vitex and B6 have stretched it to between 7-9 days. I'm night weaning this month and I hope that does the trick.
@spaniellove: how much B6 do you tale? Do you take it daily? I've been thinking of upping my dose.
