Still nothing.

No AF. And BFNs. I tested with one stick senstitive to 20 and one sensitive to 10.

So, I dunno.

I really would think I'd have a BFP by now if I was pg.

I don't know, I think it still could be possible, but I have no idea the odds.

wait a few more days some have been known not to get a positive tell they were 18 dpo and that was one of my dear friends.

Has anyone ever had it vary a lot from pregnancy to pregnancy? Because last time I got a BFP on 12 dpo and I probably could have gotten one even earlier, if I had tested.

o yeah it can vary it just mostly depends on how much hcg u got in ur body kwim.

I still think theres a chance. Are you normally a pretty regular cycle length?

ShannonMVT · #8 February 10th, 2008, 09:51 AM

I usually have a fairly short luteal phase. It has been anywhere from 9 to 12 days. But never over 12.

I started doing some Eastern medicine type things to try and strengthen my luteal phase, a heating pad for 15 minutes each night before ovulation, drinking room temp instead of ice cold water and a few diet changes. I guess it's possible that this all worked and now my luteal phase is longer.

Hey girl! I didn't know your LP was so short. You may want to mention that to your OB & see if you can get Clomid for that. It helps lengthen it for most women.

Well, I've only had a couple cycles that were 9 and 10 day LPs. Most are 11 or 12, which I've read isn't that much of a problem. I could take vaginal progesterone (and did for a few months) and that lenthened it out, but then the problem is that AF never shows until after I stop the progesterone.

Dh is very against doing anything "unnatural" (hence no PreSeed even though it might help with my CM) so I don't think he'll go for Clomid right now. He's already said he would not ever want to do IUI or IVF. He said Clomid was a maybe, if I had problems getting pregnant (as in, it starts taking a REALLY long time).

But it looks like maybe I have solved the luteal phase problem?!

I really think maybe luck just hasn't been with us and it's just a matter of time. I KNOW that I am ovulating. And I am pretty sure Dh's sperm count is okay since he got me pregnant before. Hopefully it will happen soon.
