Mine was 7-8 days. I tried acupuncture, progesterone, and B6 to lengthen, neither worked. I took Clomid and progesterone after O, an that has worked twice.

Good luck!

I had some shortish LPs prior to my My first four cycles trying were 9-10 day LPs. The last two unsuccessful cycles were 12 and 13 days.

In addition to the marginal LP, I was having a lot of menstrual (and mid cycle, and random other times) pain and was throwing a lot of interventions in to try to feel better and get KU.

I took a vitex and a B-50 supplement daily in the two longer LP cycles and in my cycle. I was also going to acupuncture weekly during those three cycles.

*Raises Hand*
I have a LP of only 10-11 days, mostly 10 days. My OBGYN did not think it a big deal. One year later, and just had my RE apt. Finally someone is concerned about it! I'm having an HSG Tues, and if it's normal I'll start clomid next cycle. I've tried b100 complex- didn't do anything, as well as acupuncture (covered by insurance but *TMI* ended up making my cycles super light and clots when they're normally just a steady flow with no clots).

@MissLace: I think my LP got one day longer each cycle, so it was gradual, but it seemed to help. I'm curious about what my cycles will look like when they finally come back pp. We want to start TTC #2 at the end of the year, so I'm kinda wishing my cycles would hurry up and return already so I can get a feel of what my body is going to do (it took 13 months and a m/c to get pregnant with LO).

Just got back from the gynecologist. She didn't seem overly concerned about my short LP because I'm ovulating and have a period every cycle. And it's still early. She said there's no reason to wait the mandated year before doing anything, though. She gave me paperwork/referral for DH to get a SA to rule that out.

She also said I can have post-ovulation bloodwork and CD 3 bloodwork to check hormones. The next thing she would probably do is send me out to get a HSG, which seems kind of an extreme place to start. THEN she said "well, we can do a pelvic ultrasound to see how your uterine lining and the egg looks." (Which sounds a lot more reasonable to me.)

Overall, she said she'd probably give it another few months and see what happens but I can go ahead and do the bloodwork and stuff. So, I guess I at least have a plan now.

This morning I got the flashing smiley on my OPK on CD 20. The gyn said maybe that is a sign I will ovulate a little earlier in my cycle (it's been like CD25-26 or so).

So, that's the update. I may try B6 again this cycle as soon as I ovulate.

I took b6/b12 to increase from 8/9 days to 11/12 days. I also took Vitex, and I now have a 9.5 month old, like @lilteacherbee!

My cycle finally returned and we're TTC, but I might be fighting the same issues again. I had irregular cycles pre BC.

I had a short LP before TTC with my LO. I got off the pill in April, and my LP was 6 days. I started B6 immediately (I was also getting B12 injections already which is why I didn't take a complex) and my LP went to 10, then 14 days and I conceived my LO who is now 15 months old.

I can't know for sure whether my cycle was just regulating post BCP or if the B vitamins helped but this time around I'm taking B vitamins regardless.
