luteal phase over 16 days?

poohbear2 · #1 July 24th, 2006, 07:12 AM

Does anyone know if this can happen, please? And why?

I am 16 DPO, no AF yet, just an occasional pinkish spot once in awhile when I wipe (TMI, sorry) around the time AF was normally due (this past weekend).

I am afraid of testing because I hate seeing that BFN.

I called my docotr and the nurse says yes, fluctuations happen, but for me 15 DPO is as far as I go.

I do use a natural progesterone cream from ovulation on, but I have been using that for about a year now, and AF still shows up 13-15 DPO.

Thanks.

Mine is normally 16-17dpo

I am 17dpo today and I am getting some AF spotting I believe. She was due to arrive yesterday.

Well you could have o'ed late. Even with me charting my temps and seeing when I o'ed when I got pregnant the us showed that I really o'ed 3 days after I thought that I had.

I can't wait till you test please be sure to post us a update it really sounds good for you this month.

BTW Welcome to JM I love the name PoohBear that is what I call my 10 year old DD!

Thank you for the friendly welcome! BTW, Poohbear was the nickname my dear father gave me as a girl, and after he died I thought I'd use it as a name on message boards in honor of him. I'm a bit old for it now, though...LOL.

I first started noticing EWCM around day 9, got a +OPK on day 12, and a temperature spike on day 14. So, I am guessing that I got my O date right (on or around day 13).

Still no AF, just a little bit of intermittent pinkish show on the tissue when I use the bathroom. ???

When I had my last baby, I got what I thought was a period because I spotted the day before AF was due, but then nothing after that.

I guess I should wait a few more days. Thanks again for the nice words.

Nope, AF struck at midnight, so I must have had a really LONG LP.

Oh well...

A few times I did have a longer LP I am sorry that AF got you. How long have you been TTC? I got my fingers crossed for you this cycle!

I am sorry to hear about your Dad. I lost mine last year the week that we found out we were expecting. I think using the name PoohBear is a great way to honor him!
