Subject: extremely long luteal phase?
> I was diagnosed with PCOS quite a few years ago, and recently I started
> trying out different vitamins & herbs, as well as a low-carbohydrate
> diet and regular exercise. For the first time ever at the end of
> November, I had a period that was not induced by Provera. Then again at
> the end of January, same thing. At that point, I decided to start
> charting my BBT to determine if I was ovulating. 30 days into my cycle,
> it appears that I ovulated, and now I'm 28 days post-ovulation with no
> period and sustained high temperatures. Multiple HPTs have been
> negative. What else could cause such a lengthy luteal phase?
