AF cramps today at 8dpo, last cycle was a 10 day L.P. so I'm not liking my chances for this month

Mistique, i was having short lp too. I started taking red maca (2 scoops in a smoothie or you can get pill form. Both on anazon), royal jelly either 1000 or 2000 mg capsule a day, vit b complex and co q10. All are healthy vitamins and in a month, my periods have went back to normal, 29 days. No short lp or 24 day periods. That is what helped me. I bought vitex but havent started it until my clomid is finished.
I had my temp dip this am, so that's a good sign i O'd yesterday. My cervix is still low, soft, open so i hope so. My cervix has been closing and getting hard a few hrs after Oing. So, maybe the vitamins have helped my cycles.

thanks kelliria, I'll have to see if I can find some!

Temp spike! Phew. I'm still not sure if O was CD17 or CD18 so BD timing wasn't perfect but at least I know it happened! I'm going to start the progesterone cream again today and hope for the best. By tomorrow or Wednesday, FF will hopefully give me some cross hairs for O.

Yea! Glad you got your spike. Mine dipped low today but i know i Od yesterday btwn 8am and 3pm with cramps.

Question- how do i go and look at my past bbt charts? I want to compare with this months.

Well ladies, I have moved over from the November group. AF came yesterday - a whole hour after a massive temp drop in my bbt. Even though deep down I thought we weren’t really in with a shot last month because of our timing, I must admit I was pretty upset when af started. After my weird spotting (in 28 years I’ve never spotted before AF) which I genuinely though was IB, followed by nausea etc I had started to cautiously believe we had hit the jackpot! But it wasn’t to be. So this is month 7 of trying and it looks like my fertile week and O date fall around the Easter weekend. My OH and I have a long weekend over Easter so I am hoping the time off will result in more relaxed BDing. My OH is a Christmas baby - 25th December, and that’s my estimated due date if we are successful. Think he quite likes that! Fingers crossed lots of us get those bfps in the coming weeks - we can do this!!!

Hi All! I was quiet over the weekend but wanted to say I'm sorry to see more come over from the November group and I hope that this cycle is it for you and me!

@SuperRoo - This is our 7th cycle trying so I know how you feel.

I started OPKs and temping yesterday. My usually low temperatures as I expected and got my first High day today on CD10. I expect 3-4 high days and then my peak on 15 or 16. I'm going to start testing in the evening more this cycle on CD 13, 14 and 15 just to be sure I don't miss the surge at night. Good luck to everyone in their fertile week!

Good morning ladies. Sorry for the quietness over the weekend. I had a rough weekend and fighting voices in my head. Can't seem to figure out why my hip is so sore as I am limping like crazy and now my right side is sore now. I am starting to think that it is my hips expanding to carry the child. Hope everyone is doing well and good luck to anyone testing soon.

Im so sad. I received my peak opk 2 days ago. I bd 2 days ago and thought i O'd yesterday bc i felt cramping. I thought i was good. This morning i had an even more temp dip though when i expected it to rise. My dr said it could take up to a day to start rising though. I couldnt bd yesterday or today bc i am sick and bf wont risk it. I hope im still in the good.
