A member asked:

Is it normal for a womans luteal phase to vary in length each month? i have a 14/15 day phase..but sometimes its as short as 11 days. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably normal: It's normal to have some variation in luteal phase. A short luteal phase is often defined as one less than 10 days (others say 12 days). I think yours is normal.
