I have been monitoring my cycles for about 10 months and we've been actively TTC for about 5 months. I always had a short luteal phase of only 6-8 days and was thinking I was going to need medical assistance to get pregnant. I took vitex for about 7 months to try to lengthen my LP but saw no real difference. After some research I heard that maca root can also help lengthen your LP so I dropped vitex and started maca this month. Although this month was not the best timing for getting pregnant (going to Las Vegas in a few weeks, Mom will be away the month I'm due) I took a casual approach to TTC and definitely was less focused on it.
While away with my mom on a trip last week she told me she had a strong feeling that this was the month I'd get pregnant and even sent me out to buy HPTs. I held off on taking it cause I wanted DH to be the first to find out. I've never had a luteal phase long enough to test so when I tested at 12 DPO I honestly wasn't expecting a positive, I just figured the maca was working to lengthen my cycle. Well I was wrong, the test was clearly positive!
It didn't feel real so yesterday I picked up a digital and took it and another FRER, and it looks like it's for sure! I just pray now that it sticks
