A member asked:

31 yrs old, ttc for 5 mos, avg menstrual length 23 days (shortest 21 days) avg luteal phase 8 days (shortest 6 days). cause for concern? options?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Short cycle: sounds as if your cycles are short which may lead to a shortened luteal phase. Consider ovulstion predictors and a menstrual calendar to follow your cycle and possible ovulation. You may well respond to clomid (clomiphene) induction of ovulation. Consider talking to your doctor
