lpd with normal progesterone?

Hello - I'm new to this forum. I have a question about LPD - I have been trying to conceive for 16 months - I have been charting my ovulation with OPKs and I am consistently noticing that luteal phase is 10-11 days. After researching this topic, it sounds like this is too short. I am also learning that this is typically caused by low progestone. However, I had my progesterone levels checked and I was told they were fine. I'm wondering why I am noticing a short luteal phase if my progestone is fine? Could a 10-11 day luteal phase be causing me to have trouble conceiving?
-Thanks for the help!

Yes, a short luteal phase is a definite reason you are not conceiving.  Mine is 12 days and my RE would like it longer.  I think 12 days is the minimum.  It takes a long time for the fertilized egg to travel and get implanted.  What does your Dr. think?  I have been taking Vitamin B6--it has lengthened mine by a day or two...one month it was 3 days longer.

Also, several days ago someone posted an article on lpd.  You might want to scroll through and see if you can find it.

Thanks for your help, I will look for that article
I talked to my doctor's nurse today - she said there was no problem with a 10-11 day luteal phase - she also said I should measure the luteal phase from the day I get my surge with the OPK to the day I start - this goes against what I've read - I thought it was measured from the day you would actually ovulate to the day you start... I'm not sure what to think..

Your luteal phase is the time after you ovulate until you get menses again.  Mine is always between 11-12 days and although that is not the ideal, my RE said that with some women you can actually have 8-9 days luteal cycles and still be ok.  She is going to put me on Clomiphene next cycle if I don't get pregnant this cycle on my own (cycle 4 of trying since loss) to try and lengthen my luteal phase.  I do know that you can get pregnant with a short luteal phase as I have done it three times.  This last pregnancy I found out I was pregnant at 10 days past ovulation...meaning that baby implanted 3-4 days prior.  It can happen!
