I'm in the same boat! My sister-in law has a baby, and everyone keeps asking me when I'm going to giver her a cousin. I keep saying "As soon as I can" or "We're trying", but it feels weird to keep saying that. I'm sure it's in my head, but I feel like they're looking at me with pity or something. It's not a good feeling.

It is normal for it to take some time though. We're both still in the normal time-frame. I just need to keep telling myself that.

So this morning I had some mild period cramps and dull aching along the bottom of my abdomen. I'm not due af for over a week. As only 6dpo today. Hoping it's a good sign ..... ?

12dpo. BFN looking like I'm out again :(

Oh, I'm sorry :-(

Does any one have any good news ? :) ?

None yet from me. My short cycles have gotten me totally out of sync with you, so I'm only at 2DPO today. (I think.... I didn't get the BBT jump I expected to yesterday, but we had a cold-front come through and it was very cold in my house when I woke up, so that might have affected the temp).

In other news, I've been eating really healthy and haven't been drinking at all, so I'm wondering if that will help. *Fingers crossed!

Aww. Well I'm on the flip coin . Mine have gotten much longer. Now lasting like 38 days :(
But yes the cold temps could have affected you too.
And high five for eating healthy.
I'm not really a drinker so can't put my inability to conceive down to that :(

Good luck for this cycle though :)

Wow, no wonder we're so far off now. We're polar opposites there!

I wonder if my short luteal phase is a problem. It's only 9 days. We'll see how this cycle goes. If this isn't my month, I think I'm going to try one more cycle and then head in to see the doctor.

Yes 9 days is too short.becasue it doesn't give the lining enough to time to be in its peak for implantation. Likewise I think with later ovulating I ovulate cycle day 25. You overshoot it.

It's wierd because it's only the past two months my cycles have been so long :(

I wonder what caused the change over the last couple of months! Do you think the evening primrose has something to do with it, or did you start taking that after your cycle length had already changed?
