I have a regular like I mean clock work regular cycle. So more than likely I just have a short Luteal Phase vs. I O'd Late because I am like I said clock work. I know that your ovulation day can change but your luteal phase is always with in a day or so -/+. Okay here is my question, I will only be 10 to 11 days past O when AF is due. Is that enough time for the eggie. And on another note I won't be able to test before AF is due will I ?
Thank you for any insight you have

Your luteal phase lasts anywhere from 10 - 16 days which gives the egg ample time to implant. How long is your usual luteal phase? If it is normally 14 days then chances are your af will be 13 or 14 days after O as luteal phase does not change much between cycles. Your time between af and O can change. I still wouldn't test for at least 10 days (if you use an early result HPT) so I would definetely would wait until after you expect
Have you been charting to know when you O?
I hope this helps.

i have a question regarding LH as well.. the opk tested positive about 3 days ago, is it too late for me to conceive if having intercourse today? also, my opk tested positive on day 7-8 of my cycle, is this normal?

thanks!!

I'm don't know anything about opk tests, I've never used one before. If the test shows that you have o'd or o will be occuring in the next 24 hours then bd'ing 3 days later won't be very successful in conceiving as the egg only lives for 24 hours maximum. It's best to have the little waiting in the fallopian tubes before O occurs. I'm sorrry I'm not much help with your question.

Actually, even though some do consider a 10 day LP "normal" it's too close to the short side for comfort and may well indicate an LPD. I would do a P4 test post O and find out what my levels are. The doc will try to push you for a CD21 test. Try and make him hit for the mid LP. In other words, CD21 is on the assumption that you O'd on CD14 and that you have a 14 day LP. What you want to do is figure out what you think your LP is and work from there. So, let's say you O'd on CD16 and have a 12 day LP. You want to be tested on CD22. If you O'd on CD12 and have a 12 day LP, you want to be tested on CD18. Does that make sense?

If you do opt to check into the possibility of an LPD via testing, make sure you get the actual numbers. Like what I said about being too close to the low end with your LP, the same goes with your hormone levels. 10 may be a "normal" P4 level but it's too close to low to be comforting while TTC.

HTH!!

DEECEETOO- This is the first month that we have tried to pin point ovulation so I am not really sure I fugure since I am so regular that this is when I o every month, Since your LP does not change by more than a day or so. I got a positive Fri & Sat So I o somewhere between Fri & Sun I am hoping the early but Without temping I can not pin point. As far as I can tell the longest that my LP could be considering OPK test would be 11 days. I plan to try temping again( I always jumped out of bed and forgot till I as in the shower)Maybe that will help me get a more accurate assesment of My LP I am hopeing that i o'd early enough that if I do concieve my hormones have enough time to get where they need to be. Thank you for you help!!!!!!!!

How'd your temp do?? Your ticker isn't linked so I can't see your chart. Did it go up today?
