- What's with the regression to the 9 day luteal phase?
- Why did Clomid fix the LPD, but injectibles + progesterone supplements NOT (even with multiple follies)?
- Is it a coincidence that the only two cycles using Ovidrel were the only two medicated cycles with a shortened LP?
- Is it possible that my body simply isn't making use of the available progesterone for some reason?
- Has the diagnosis shifted from LPD to "Unexplained"?
- What is the plan to get better response from Rightie this time?
- Should we just wait for Leftie's month instead?
- Why do you expect this new progesterone plan is going to help?
- Has my AMH been tested? If so: what was it, and if not: why?
- If this doesn't work, what is the next step?
Can you think of any other questions I should be taking along?
I had a LPD - 9-11 days and slightly longer on either Clomid or Injectibles (w/ Endometrin). I honestly don't know the reason for the short luteal phase, but my guess is that I was ovulating bad eggs. But who knows. I was completely unexplained except for the short luteal phase and low AMH...not even sure if they're related. But I'd definitely ask for the AMH - my FSH and all other ovarian reserve markers were totally normal, but my AMH was not. My RE gave me a higher dose of drugs as a result, which worked!
ReplyDeleteHave you ruled out any invasive surgeries like laparoscopy? I don't know if it's necessary or not in your case, but u/s and HSG can't detect everything. Also, what about trying Femara instead of Clomid? Maybe Femara will help more with LPD?
ReplyDeleteI don't think AMH and luteal phase are necessarily related. My AMH is dismal, my eggs are complete crap, but I have a solid 12-13 day LP with no spotting or dips below coverline. Of course, one person does not a double-blind, empirical study make.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could help but my problems seem to solely lie in my husband. :(
ReplyDeleteGood luck at your doctor's appointment! Oh, do you bring a notebook with to take notes and write your questions down?
