Referred to REI today for short luteal phase and feeling broken

SAD

I was officially referred to an REI today because of my short luteal phase. It’s been 6 months straight of 6–7 day luteal phases, and last month was still only 7 days even with progesterone (100 mg daily).

I know 6 months doesn’t sound like a long time in the grand scheme of TTC, but I feel devastated. Like something is broken inside me. I asked my OBGYN for the referral, and she was supportive, but I can’t shake the feeling that she thinks I’m being “over the top.”

I guess I’m just looking for support or to hear from anyone with similar experiences. Maybe just a reminder that it’s okay to trust when something feels off in your body, and that you don’t need a doctor to confirm it before it’s real. I'm just so scared of the road I'm potentially facing now

Thanks for reading ❤️
