i started charting my cycle because we have been trying to conceive #2. I did this at fertilityfriend dot com, it showed that my temps were indicative of a short progesterone cycle. The first half of your cycle is dominated by estrogen, then the second half (after ovulation) progesterone, which is seen by a spike in temp. My luteal phase (progesterone dominent) is only 9-10 days, while the first half of the cycle is about 21 days. I also had a chemical pregnancy in sept, which is common with low progesterone. I have not talked to my doctor about this as we are going to take some time off with trying for another baby so maybe i can get my hormones leveled out naturally.
