LPD Question
Posted: 02-20-08 11:15am

Hi All,

So DH and I are still working on TTCing. As mentioned in my one previous post, we have been trying for about 8 months now (since June)... I know it takes up to a year for normal couples... but paranoia is setting in. I am sure that stressing over it is not a great idea, but either way...

I started BBT charting in January to discover that my ovulation came later in the month that we had been predicting (or at least, I had a temp raise later (which coincided with a sickness so I am not sure if that did much)... so that was a great learning experience.

In February, I purchased a 7 day OVK and I did not OV at all in the 7 days that they suggested I test in. Not even a hint of a line. NOTHING. Now, in conjunction, I saw no rise in BBT either. So, I know I am getting closer to the right day, but now I am having some concerns over my luteal phase.

I am on average a 25-28 day cycle. It is consistently in those days. But last month, I ovulated on day 18... should I be concerned about LPD. It seems very close to the 10 day mark. I read that Vitamin B6 can help.

Should I just chill out and proceed with my new found knowledge... or should I consider checking with my doctor some time soon.

Ugh. I never knew getting pregnant required so much thought after years of Catholic guilt and an all girls school taught me that getting pregnant was going to ruin my life. Rolling Eyes

Do you have a link to your chart so we can see it?

Isn't it amazing what you can learn from temping? It's just eye opening sometimes.

I'll look at your chart and tell you what I think.

I will suggest for now that you continue temping and see if your lp changes in the next 3 months. (it's not common to change, but it can fluctuate a day or two) It's not a good idea to make any assumptions based off one cycle.

There are many vitamins and supplements that can help lenghten your lp. I'll get a list and some links together for you when I get home from work.
