Are you ovulating? Are you using OPKs or charting to verify ovulation? Also, how long is your LP? If it's shorter than 10 days then you wouldn't be able to sustain pregnancy from what I've heard. So if you ovulating early enough in your cycle so your LP is long enough, then it's possible. But it sounds as though it's probably too short of a cycle to give you a real shot at conceiving. Good luck!

I don't know if it is impossible to get pregnant on such a short cycle, but I have heard that with short cycles you may not ovulate, which obviously is not good. Sorry I don't have a real life story (although I did have an 18 day cycle last month & am currently on CD 21, so I'm hoping AF keeps holding off...hopefully for 9 months!) Good luck
