Huge congratulations! That's so exciting!!

AFM: I do believe I Ov'd last night. My temp had a crazy spike this morning. Hopefully a few more days of high temps will confirm. But I'm pretty sure I'm now in my 2ww.

Feeling out. Charts messed up. Ovulation didn't/probably won't occur. I won't be testing this month. to the rest of you ladies I hope you get your 's!!!

 

[samthemum]

The more I look at my chart, the more I am convinced I didn't ovulate at all. I don't know. My body is probably playing tricks with me again.

Congrats on your bfp! My af is due the 6th and took a test today and got a bfn . Fx I get my bfp soon!

 

[jessthemess]

I as well am feeling out girlies! I'll still probably test because I have one million ICs.

I'm 11dpo and feeling a bit crampy and just about like AF is coming. Know what I mean?

A lot of info if you have any advice on luteal phases for me....

My first two cycles off of BCP, after six months on it, were 43 and 42 days long which is about what they were before I was on BCP as well. When I started OPKs and temping this cycle I assumed that meant I'd ovulate about CD28 on 12/28ish, continuing with the 42 day average and start my next cycle on 1/10/12.

But then I ovulated on CD24. I have been thinking this means I ovulated earlier and my cycle would be shorter and that in turn, my next cycle would start fourteen days later on CD38/14dpo which would be about 1/6.

Today it occurred to me, what if I have a long luteal phase? I know I won't know for sure till I've charted a few more months and actually have a pattern I can see. But let's say I have luteal phase of 18 days instead of the average 14 and in that case I will actually start my next cycle on CD42 or 1/10 and I might always ovulate around CD24.

Does a long luteal phase affect my fertility? Anyone else have a long luteal phase? Does it affect when I should be taking pregnancy tests?

I've googled this some and gotten some mixed answers. But honestly, I just trust you all so much more than what pops up on google usually. Know what I mean?

Wisegeek says, Although a long luteal phase can be inconvenient, once discovered it is typically easy to work around. Since the phase is typically fixed, women can simply alter their calendars to fit the likely day of menstruation based on the longer length of their individual phase. There is little information that suggests that a long luteal phase can result in infertility or miscarriage, although studies on this subject are not readily available.

Sorry to blow up our January testers thread with long luteal stuff, just wondering if anyone else happens to know any good info. Thanks!

Hey Vic! MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP!!!

You must be over the moon!

Can I just ask how many dpo are you? Also, I see you're in the UK so was wondering what test you used? I have been using the Boots own brand but was thinking of getting some cheapie 10mg u ones off Amazon. I will be testing this time next week if AF doesn't show her ugly face.

Congrats again!

oh gives me a bit of hope then! I dont really have any symptoms and I don't remember having any symptoms with my ds untill my af didnt arrive, but then again he was a nice surprise so wasn't looking out for any symptoms! heres to a happy and healthy 9 months for you! xx

Jess if this is your 3rd cycle after bcp than maybe your cycles are shortening. Or maybe you just happened to catch an odd month that you o'd earlier than normal. Sadly it's true, that it will just take a few months to catch on to what is regular for you. Even then you can have odd months. Take me for example Gl! Sorry I didn't have anything diffinitive to say

I've heard that your LP is always supposed to be the same.... Not sure if this is true though, but that's what I've heard on here before!
And I do think your cycles are just shortening so that's good for you, right?!

vic161209 Congrats!!!! H&H 9 months!!

Def still helpful! Thanks!

So annoying that it takes a few cycles to understand how our bodies work so that we are easier able to get pg, when really we'd just all like to get pg on the first cycle haha

can anyone shed some light on this today i was having really sharp pains right in middle uterus area. it was on and off all day. it reminded me of my- my period is about to begin now cramp but im just over week away before im meant to start? has anyone else felt this?

 

[lcgoodac]

I was like this a few days ago but tested today and got bfn. Think our bodies are just playing tricks on us! My af is due on the 6th so who knows what's happening in there!
