I’ve decided that I would post the charts for my past two cycles. Cycle 11 began Thanksgiving weekend & O date slipped up on us over my birthday weekend and then as Ma turned for the worst, TTC was sent to the back of my mind. I spotted for such a long time I was beginning to wonder what was up. Then CD1 happened Christmas day on top Ma’s passing. 11 day LP is the longest yet.
I’d love to get y’alls thoughts on my O date for cycle 12. Did I O on day 12 {which was what FF advanced says} or did I O on day 16 {based on +opk}? Either way isn’t perfect, but I either had a normalish length LP but +opk after O date or good high temp climb but super short LP.
As for cycle 13, we looked up the forecasted due date if I were to get pregnant this cycle & it would be Oct 24th. We decided based on my brother’s wedding being Oct 22nd that we didn’t want to have us or our families deal with that chance. I’d hate to miss their wedding or make my parents choose between son’s wedding & first grandchild. It was also nice this weekend to not wake up and temp at 7am.
Also, we happened to be at our regular doctor today {Jason got something in his eye & had to get something for the scratches}. I asked her who she recommended as a new Ob/Gyn as I want to switch {if you’re in Raleigh area, please let me know who you like}. I told her I was asking since we planned to go to get a referral for the RE for testing etc. Our awesome doctor advised as our primary she could refer us {skipping that extra copay!!}. So we don’t have an appt quite yet, but it’s in the works. I’ll keep y’all posted how things go!

Ooh, good news! If you wind up needing an RE, you'll be very happy you got to skip that copay! 🙂
For cycle 12, I would say you ovulated on CD16. Keep on having sex for a few days past your O date. Keep your chin up! I got pregnant on cycle 13. Good luck!!
Hi, I hope you don't mind if I chime in. Your charts look very similar to what mine looked like, shorter luteal phases and all. I'd say you o'ed on day 14.
Just wanted to share the things that worked for me. You've probably tried it all; I know I had by cycle 12!! 🙁 Anyway, first, I've never gotten pregnant except when I've been actively dieting. I have no idea why. I heard a rumor that burning fat releases the hormones that are stored in fatty tissue, so that may be it. But whatever the reason, all three times I've gotten pg it's been while trying hard to lose weight.
The second thing that actually seemed to help lengthen the luteal phase was doing the liquid vitex and vitamin b combo.
Anyway, I hope you get a bfp soon!!
It was good seeing you today! The RE I was telling you about is Dr Fritz at UNC Specialty Women's. He is at both locations as well, but like I said – all treatments would be at UNC, but b/w and u/s's and visits can be at Rex. The # is (919) 784-6425 – I would go ahead and make an appt now, b/c it might take a couple of weeks.
Good Luck!!
Oh – you don't need a referral, and I would go ahead and take your charts in too – b/c he'd ask you to do them anyways.
