Question

AF craving for chocolate/menstrual cramps...over a week before period along with MASSIVE temp drop?!

I'm TTC my third after 2 pregnancies. (Our first was a stillbirth, our second was 2 months preemie) Our first two were conceived with IVF due to my PCOS, and my husband having count and motility issues. While I know the odds are stacked against us, since I've been breastfeeding our daughter, my cycles have been regular. I hadn't been keeping track, but I had started noticing I was ovulating, (usually noticing the pain afterwards), and then having a period. We started having unprotected sex, not trying but not preventing. I noticed I had increased drive, and fertile CM so we dtd. I'm 7-8dpo, had a massive temp dip this morning we below average for me, but am also having AF cramps and my typical fast food and chocolate cravings. Am I out for this month?

Is there any way that I could try to extend my luteal phase? I am still having dry cm, and all, but I'm 99% sure my period is coming in a couple of days.

Taking B6 seemed to have helped me increase my luteal phase naturally by a day or two, so you should try that! If you had a temp drop, it could be implantation if your temp goes back up in the days after that. My temp doesn't drop until the day or two before I actually start AF. Good luck!

Thanks! My temp did go back up, and I had about an hour of very specific pain in two points, in my uterus. No sign of AF, and the cramps have mostly gone away. I keep getting waves of very dull cramping that never lasts long. I'm not sure what to think, now!
