Luteal Phases

Ok so my last AF came 5 days early..which prompted my luteal phase to 10 days not the usual 14 days...so my question is should i base my chart on 10 or 14 days...reason being is if i go with 10 days I O either May 13,14,15,16, or 17...if i base it on 14 I o either May 9,10,11,12,13...so what should i do?? I guess i may just BD starting day may 6th and every other until the 17th...coverign all bases..just incase i guess..who knows...TTC is so difficult...

I usually have a short LP. I would suggest investing in a Fertility Monitor so you can pinpoint your O. It helped me a ton in TTC #1. I dusted it off for TTC#2. I bought mine on eBay used for $40 then bought the sticks for $33 including shipping on Amazon. That will cover you for 2-3 months. You could also use OPK's but you can miss your surge and miss your O. Good luck!!

Hi hun, I don't know much about luteal phases, but I had to post and agree that TTC IS TOO HARD!!!

I had two miscarriages before I had my daughter who is now 6 and tried for 7 months before I got my son, who is now 3, and now we've been trying for 8 months and nothing yet!

I've always been jealous of women who get pregnant without planning it! I got my chance last year when I found out that I was pregnant when we were not trying...only to lose it a week later.

so...YES ttc is so hard!
