> Hello.
>
> I have read that it is considered a "Luteal Phase Defect" to have
> spotting during the LP prior to 10 days of high temps (above cover
> line)...
>
> I have internal spotting from 6DPO to 9DPO. The spotting increases
> gradually to full menses (CD1 at 14DPO)
>
> Therefore; my LP is a healthy/ normal length (12 days) however, the
> spotting occurs well before I have 10 days of high temps...
>
> My question(S):
>
> If I don't count the "internal" spotting days, it works out to be
> APPROX. 10 days of high temps without any spotting...
>
> 1) Are "internal" spotting days considered when determining/diagnosing
> LPD?
> 2) Are there any holistic/ herbal/ vitamin remedies that I could try
> prior to going to a physician? I don't want to have to go through a lot
> of testing if I can possibly do something for myself.
