Can anyone help with my dates?

[SmileyKez]

Hi girls, this was my first cycle in a few where I actually ovulated so I am not very good with the whole dates/luteal phase thing.

I got a strong + OPK on the 20th and BD that night, the following day the OPK was still a darkish line but I wouldn't class it as a positive. My chart shows the 20th as my ovulation date, but I think it was the following day as I had pains in my right side which I assume were from my ovary.

The only other time I have had a + opk, AF came 16 days after I got that positive result, does that mean my luteal phase is about 16 days?

If its 14 days, should I expect AF tomorrow? And 15 days the day after etc...

Sorry if this makes no sense but i'd appreciate any thoughts xx

i would say af would be due tomorrow or the next day.i'm not totally sure but i think luteal phase is usually no more than 14 days but is always the same every month,fingers crossed ur chart looks good and if ur temps stay up i would test

Thanx for asking! Well the witch hasn't showed up today and my temps went up again slightly again this morning! I don't feel like she is on her way but I can't remember what signs I get usually as I've had a few cycles with no ov and no symptoms!
I've had a few cramps today that don't feel like af, more like dicky tummy cramps and been to the loo alot (tmi) which is unusual before af so I'm
hoping this is a good sign!
Trying not to test until Saturday! X

Why did you exclude the temp on CD19?

Mmm trying to think, I think it was because I had absolutely no sleep and was up and down all night so didn't think it was accurate, not sure if that's what I shoulda done, this is my first month of charting!

Here's hoping you get a ! As for luteal phase it can last anywhere from 10-16 days on average but doctors like it better for it to be 12 days or more. Best of luck to you!

Well think I am out! Got my usual pre AF cramps in my tummy and legs today so think she'll be here tomorrow, damn witch!

So now I'm wondering if I have a longer luteal phase or if I ov'd later than my chart or I thought?
