Short luteal Phase?

Question

So I've been charging for four months now and my luteal phase is definitely short. Like 8-10 days tops. 
I tried going to my PCM last month, because I've had a bunch of other issues including weight gain/no weight loss with a strict excercise and nutrition plan, long cycles, and just overall "weird" stuff for me, and she didn't order ANY hormone tests. 
Do I need to be more specific? Is this something a doc will treat even though we haven't been trying long?
I'm pretty frustrated :(

Answer

I would just ask to be referred to a gyno. You need one for abnormal periods and just all around female health. Once you tell and gyno about all this they will typically order labs to check hormones and all that to see if anything is going on.

Answer

I went to my PCM to tell him exactly the same thing to told yours and I requested a progesterone test. He wouldn't do it 😑

Answer

I know with my experience the same thing was happening to me and I wanted my thyroid checked. My PMC at the time told me there was nothing they could do because we hadn't been trying a full year (only 6 mo) and tricare won't even accept or cover any testing having do with fertility or fertility related issues if you haven't been trying for over a year, which made sense, but it didn't. I had other concerns too, but because apparently they went hand in hand they wouldn't do anything.
