@JL I had all my fertile cervical fluid the week before ovulation according to my temps, I think it's cause we're breastfeeding still, it totally messes us up!!

It will be a miracle if we can just get our cycles normalized while BFing and o while having spouses at home

Cycle day 9 and getting decent lines on opk I know it’s not positive yet but usually don’t see good lines till cycle day 14 and not positive till around 16-18 maybe ovulating early?? Should I start bd now?

@Mamaof2 that just looks like a regular cycle OPK to me, there's no harm in BD'ing but it's not near being positive, but it all depends on how quick your surge is.

AFM: 6dpo, big drop below the coverline so looks like I'm out this cycle, 100% sure I'll have another temp drop tomorrow and start my period a day early, making my luteal phase now a measly 7 days. I feel so betrayed by my body, it should know what to do already following my son. I'm just sad and irritable today :( no 2019 baby for me.

@baby O'd on the 23rd as well. 6dpo today.

@beck I. Sorry hope that it rises. Do some research on short LPs. That's what I did. I had 9dpos but now that I have been taking a prenatal with vitex in it it has gone to 13dpo to 14dpo.

@bug I can’t take vitex with breastfeeding unfortunately :( looks like I’ll just have to wait for him to wean

Yes definatley not a good idea, Beck.
If she shows having a 2020 baby would be awesome , as well. I kept saying I didnt want a December baby since I was and I got jipped alot around my birthday/Christmas. However. at this point I would be happy with a baby at any month. 35 and still childless, I kinda had to change that view about me.

@Beck I know its not positive yet, I was saying I dont normally see a line until about cycle day 14. This is early seeing a line for me they are normally wayyyy lighter right now or not even there yet at this point in my cycle. I usually dont ovulate until day 16 or later. Just getting my hopes up I guess.

@beck You could always ask your doctor for a progesterone supplement. It is an easy fix for having a longer LP.
AFM... CD2. The flow has been way heavier than usual. I’m guessing it’s because I started working out again. Hopefully that means it won’t last a full 5 days.

@Momma I'd love to but unfortunately in the UK they don't recommend getting pregnant for at least 18 months after birth so they will refuse to give me any kind of progesterone or medication without a really strong reason for it :( they'll make me wait it out. We'll just have to see, as my son gets older he might start dropping feeds and that might lengthen it.
