Super short luteal phase anyone?

[msugirl]

Hi ladies!
So, I'm gearing up for my second FET, and between my last MC and now, started temping via FF.
I've always had super irregular cycles (typically very long) and thought I'd see if I even ovulate on my own without meds.
Anyways, from this, I've learned that I have 7-8 day long luteal phases. I took Crinone during my last two pregnancies that led to MC, and I know that's supposed to help with short luteal phases.
Is anyone else doing / taking anything else for this?  I was always told that it was just unlucky 'bad eggs' that led to my MCs, but I really wonder now if my initial thoughts about it aren't true and that it's my body that's doing the damage.
Anyways, just wanted to know if any of you ladies are dealing with short luteal phases and what you're doing about it.

Thanks in advance! xo

I have 7-8 day LP off meds, so I take prometrium 200 mg vaginally every cycle. Most of the time I have to stop it to get AF but sometimes it starts 13dpo while still on progesterone. I took crinone when I was pregnant (MMC) and hated that stuff. Talk about a mess! All I have now is tons of yellowish discharge two week out of every month... sweet.

Ugh YES. I can't stand it but my RE gave me the options of crinone or PIO...and I'd rather have a mess than a sore butt.
Do you know if prometrium is 'stronger' than crinone? Wondering if maybe I just need more progesterone...

So I complained about the crinone and my RE seemed to think prometrium suppositories were equivalent. Hell, I'd rather even take the PIO than more crinone.

I have a short LP, 10 days always no matter when I O. My first FET failed and I got the speech about how some embryos are just abnormal. But I had had massive cramping the entire time so he was worried maybe my proneness was low on suppsotires. He switched me to PIO and took a biopsy, still to low. So now I have to take 2 shots a day just to get my progesterone right. Maybe it is the same with you and it just isn't getting your progesterone up enough?

BTW that is the cutest puppy ever.

Hmm that's a good point. I know that back when I was doing IUI's etc they were taking my progesterone level after O.
Since I started IVF cycles though, they basically look at my lining five days before FET and then tell me to start crinone that day.
I think I might ask them to get a progesterone level this time around...I just hate the fact that my body keeps killing these embies...
