I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get rid of this problem? I probably have a progesterone problem. I have a short luteual phase and have a history of miscarriages. I have been taking Optivite for over a year and doing the diet recommended in Fertility, cylces and nutrition but they haven't helped. I am almost 41. I know this is part of aging but is there anything to be done about it? I also want to try to have another baby and need to get things straightened out. I have taken progesterone in the past to sustain pregnancies.

Have you tried using Natural Progesterone Cream during the 2ww to extend your luteal phase a bit? That might help.

Don't have any more advice for you...but if you suspect a progesterone deficiency, it might be the best option for you...

I second what Rachel wrote.
I have been using Natural progesterone to lengthen the luteul phase. It has helped, definitely.

What about the lighting suggestions in Shannon's book to extend the luteal phase?

I added Vitamin E and Evening Primrose Oil in my vitamin routine. It seemed to work the trick this time, as my progesterone level was high in early pregnancy.

Thanks!
