R/R/CS: My luteal phase was only 9 days last cycle. I'm kind of concerned about my inconsistent luteal phases. They have been anywhere from 9-14 days long. It makes the TWW extra frustrating to get a surprise period 4 days early. Anyone experience this?
I'm not an expert, but I think the only time that you need to be concerned about short LPs is when they are consistently under 9 for a few cycles (someone correct me if I'm wrong!).
Other than that, my LP also fluctuates by a few days every cycle and I think that is pretty normal. I find that charting helps since the temp drop shows when I can expect AF so that I'm not completely surprised by it.

Thanks for the info! Glad to know that some fluctuation is NBD. I have been charting, but I guess I need to assume if I get a temp dip from 8dpo on that it could be AF. Sometimes I think my obsessive brain gets the best of me over-analyzing the data!
