What makes you think this is a luteal phase defect? The cycle looks anovulatory to me.

Quoting Amelia Margaret:" What makes you think this is a luteal phase defect? The cycle looks anovulatory to me."

well first off i havent heard of anovulartory so it could be either one.
it may be to early to tell but if its either one of these i want to know asap to take care of it!
this is why i think its a luteal phase defect. but i also ready that this has to happen twice before getting checked for it.

The major symptom of LPD is a short luteal phase. This will be manifested as a short ovulation cycle or cycles which are irregular.
and
A luteal phase is the time in a woman’s cycle between ovulation and menstruation. In a pregnant woman, during the luteal phase the fertilized egg will travel from the fallopian tube and into the uterus for implantation. The luteal phase is normally 14 days long and on an average it can be anywhere from 10 to 17 days long. If your luteal phase lasts anything under 10 days it is considered a luteal phase defect. But some doctors believe that if the luteal phase falls under 12 days, then it is a problem. If you conceive and you have a luteal phase defect, you will have an early miscarriage.
A luteal phase defect cannot sustain a pregnancy because the uterine lining in these women begins to break down, bringing on the menstrual bleeding and causing an early miscarriage. There could be more than one reason for the luteal phase defect which can be found out after medical analysis. Going by statistics, the number one reason for a luteal phase defect is low progesterone levels. Your doctor can do a progesterone test on you 7 days past ovulation to determine exactly how deficient you are. Once you know that there are several ways of correcting this defect.

why do you think its anovulatory?

im reading up on it right now
it seems it could be either one of these.

i think i need to start running/working out
ive been stressed this month/cycle as well so that might have an effect

But you haven't yet reached the luteal phase in this cycle yet, so that's why I asked. The time it takes from ovulation until your period starts for most women is about 14 days - even for women with irregular cycles. Usually when women have really long or irregular cycles it's the follicular phase (from period to ovulation) that varies. So women who have a short luteal phase (10 days or less) usually have a luteal phase defect. Often this is remedied with progesterone supplements.

But since you haven't reached the luteal phase in your current cycle yet (or have only just entered it) there is no way to tell from this cycle that you might have LPD.

Looking at your chart it looks to me that you are having a long cycle and of course it's the follicular phase that is being long. This can totally be just a one time thing and sometimes it just happens. Nothing to worry about. If this is how it is every cycle then it's time to see a doctor about it.

I hope all this makes sense!

Your chart doesn't show the temperature shift that indicates ovulation has occurred. You'll know that you have ovulated when you have three elevated temps in a row. Once you've been charting for awhile it will be easy to see what is a pre-O temp and a post-O temp.

oh okay so next month it will tell me when i O or after next month it will start telling me? i was wondering when it starts showing that!

Actually if you O'd today then tomorrow will be 1dpo. But if today's temp is the first in your temp shift it would actually mean that you O'd around cycle day 19, making you 2dpo! It takes awhile after ovulating to secrete enough progesterone to shift your temp. BTW it's that progesterone that's making your boobies all sore!

It should. Just takes some getting used to.
