SHORT LUTEAL PHASE/LOW PROGESTERONE?

Question

Hi ladies 
Has anyone suffered with this and had any treatment? I'd love some advice as I have had all fertility tests and there were no problems or obvious reasons why I can't conceive. 
I know that I'm ovulating as I've been using ovusense but my luteal phase isn't long enough (7-10 days) and I'm thinking I'm low on progesterone. Has anyone suffered with this and did your GP prescribe you anything to increase your low levels or is there any other advice/ways to manage this problem?
Ttc for 3 years and man it's taking its toll 😂
Thanks in advance ☺ x

Hey!! My GP wasn’t very helpful at all but I had/have a similar issue. My luteal phase isn’t long enough, I start spotting far too early in my cycle and so in reality there isn’t enough time for an egg to implant. 
I spoke to a fertility specialist (and have since FINALLY been referred officially by my doctor after 2.5 years) but initially I was prescribed Cyclogest progesterone suppositories by a private fertility consultant, to use twice daily once ovulation has been confirmed. The second month of using it, I got pregnant. But also coincidentally my follicular phase randomly happened to be longer that month too so it was probably a combination of both those things. I miscarried at 6 weeks and haven’t been able to get pregnant since so I’m waiting on next steps. But just wanted to message to say you can definitely get something for it but it will probably be from a specialist rather than GP, but your GP may be more helpful than mine so you never know! And it might just be the thing that’s missing. Good luck!! ☺️
