It took me 28 months for my periods to return, and then a further four or five months until my periods were actually «normal» with a long
enough luteal phase (the bit after ovulation) to sustain a fertilized egg.
Not exact matches
The key is to observe fertility signs to determine if you are ovulating and whether your
luteal phase is long
enough.
If progesterone does not elevate
enough after ovulation or if it drops too soon before your period, you may have a
luteal phase defect (LPD).
If there isn't
enough progesterone, it can lead to a shortened
luteal phase (the second half of the cycle after ovulation occurs), which can prevent implantation from happening.
Prolactin is a hormone that when high
enough will prevent ovulation from occurring, so reducing levels of this hormone is key to increasing LH and progesterone for successful ovulation and a strong
luteal phase.
If your
luteal phase is too short, however, there is not
enough time for the fertilized egg to successfully implant before the hormonal signal to shed the lining.
