Continue keto or switch to low carb

Hello, i started keto a little over 4 weeks ago to lower my insulin / IR in hopes it will help with my "unexplained" infertility. Im 24 and have been ttc for 18 months.
I just got my bloodwork back and keto helped me drop my fasting insulin from 16 to 5. The problem now is my luteal phase is only 9 days. I know keto can mess with your cycles.
I'm unsure where to go from here. Since my insulin resistance is reversed, would it be safe to transition to a low carb (50-100g) diet in hopes of supporting my progesterone or keep keto and hope my body eventually gets used to it? Anyone with similar experiences id love to hear
