@hotdamn sorry for the evil witch! shes the worst.

@hot I'm sorry she arrived

I'm just damn fed up now. I did a cheapie. Stark white. Decided to add my last cycle back into the stats and it reckons I could be due Friday which I estimated anyway. I just don't get how I've always had a 14 luteal phase and now these last two cycles it's increased potentially to 17 days I'm taking all of this as data analysis anyway, so if we haven't fallen pregnant in 6 cycles I can go to my doctor for some tests. They'll see the longer phase and maybe suggest things to help. Does anyone know of some natural things I can buy to help get it back to 14 days? xx

@scuba I was using vitex to help with my LP. I was trying to lengthen mine though. I took it few a few months and it made zero change. Though some people swear by it.

I didn't think I'd be in this cycle, positive opk this morning (at CD13). DTD 2 and 4 days ago. So I guess we will see. I was just getting used to Oing at CD20-22. Then the last 3 cycles have gone CD16, 13, 13.

Hello! I’m new to CDTP, hopefully it’s okay if I jump in? I was reading this board a bit so as to not feel so lonely and you are all so wonderful and supportive so I wanted to join :)
I am on Cd 28, 11 dpo. Have had a couple of negative pregnancy tests. We had a early mc/cp in November so are even more excited to conceive... I think next cycle’s fertile window will be while we are on opposite sides of the country so I’m anxious for this one!

Congrats Espensce! I will hopefully learn more and keep up with the rest of you as we go along...:)

@mistique thank you. Yes I read that too. Oh well maybe it's just how my cycles are changing. Just going to make it harder and longer at this rate.

@teachers welcome to the board! Fingers crossed for this cycle for you! Not too long to wait to know for sure xx

Scuba Thanks! Glad to be here with all you fine ladies! I have a 16-17 day LP as well. It can be so frustrating waiting around for CD1 sometimes... but at least we know baby will get as long as he wants to implant and get comfy right? :)

That's a good way to think about it . I've been looking up which vitamins I took when I fell pregnant with my daughter and I'm going to stock up again tomorrow to see if that helps the next cycle. It was recommended to me by a fertility consultant I was seeing at the time. She said get the highest doses available :

Vitamin D3
Omega 3
Vitamin E
Vitamin C
Zinc
Selenium

I'm trying to feel positive for my next cycle (when it starts!) xx

Hello All.. I’m currently 12-14 dpo.. and experiencing a few symptoms. Took a pregnancy test yesterday.. it was a so I’m guessing I’m out this month. I feel very NOT pregnant and AF is due in about 2 more days so when she rears her head I’ll start trying again next cycle.

Dee !!! I’m so sorry you’re feeling down! I’m just here to send you something you asked us to remind you... here it goes..

“@alexplpl I'm glad it made you happy!! honestly now I think that the pre DPO phase is the worst. because you are not fertile yet so really bd is more or less on hold and you are just anxiously waiting to start trying.
I agree, From this point on I just want to be happy. Even if its negative again I will consul myself knowing that I have done and keep doing everything my REI dr has told me to do. all the test are negative DH is more than good, Its up to Sweet Baby Jesus to bless us with a miracle.

Also guys if it is negative and I start having a pitty party and how my body failed me some one tell me to shut and re-read this post.”

This was you! I don’t know you personally but your words made me feel better back then. I hope you feel better soon. Cheer up girl.. it will happen for us as it happened for so many women who were just like us!

@Alexplpl you literally made made me smile, thank you!!!! you are awesome!!!! this roller coaster of feelings is no joke! I am fortunate to be a part of this forum with such supportive and powerful Women!
