A member asked:

Been trying to conceive naturally w/o success n noticed i have a short follicular phase (~7days) n normal luteal phase. is this a contributing factor?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Possibly: Short follicular phase si not a problem by itself but 7 days is extremely short. How are you determining the length of your follicular phase? Are your cycles actually only 21 days? Consistently?
