QuoteReplyTopic: Help! long luteal phase? Posted: 20 May 2007 at 12:13pm
Hi, I need some help! This cycle took me a little by surprise. I ovulated nearly a week earlier than I expected, so although we BD'd at (what appears to be) the right time, I only started temping the next day - which seems to be the day I ovulated (judging by the low temp & then constant rise). That was cd 16 and I'm now up to cd 37; which would make it 21dpo. I had one day of very light spotting on 10dpo, and then more light spotting on 14-16dpo and then nothing. Previous cycles when I've temped I've always had a 13-14 day luteal phase, so I tested on Thursday but got a BFN.
My temps have remained high until this morning when they dropped a little (by 0.14). We bd'd this morning, but then I noticed (TMI!!) a light pink tinge in my cm (normally my spotting is brown) but it seems to have stopped now.
So maybe AF is on it's way, but then I didn't think the luteal phase varies that much. Then maybe I am pregnant, but then why haven't I tested positive yet? And I have no symptoms at all apart from a bit of a queasy tummy the last couple of days, but doesn't m/s normally happen from 6 weeks on? I had sore breasts like normal in the days running up to when I thought AF would be due, but that stopped nearly a week ago.
So I'd just like some advise - if I'm not pregnant, what other options are there? How common is it to be pregnant & not have sore breasts? And has anyone else had late BFP's when they've charted their cycle?
Sorry for the long post, but it's good to get it out!
