Honey, if you're only 6DPO and due on, you need to start thinking about lengthening you Luteal Phase. You have no chance of implantation with a Luteal Phase that length, implantation doesn't occur before 7-10 DPO. Your luteal phase should be at least 10 days, ideally over 12 in order for a fertilized egg to be able to implant.

Vitamin B6 should help lengthen your luteal phase. Vitamin B6 is perfectly safe and can be taken daily in dosages from 50 mg to 200 mg to lengthen luteal.

What are your cycle lengths honey? What day do you normally OV on and what day is AF usually due on?

Luteal Phase is the time between OV and AF. Should be at least 10 days to not miscarry as you're shedding your uterus lining at AF and if I get PG it's likely it won't stick coz of this. I've had 8,9 and 9 for the past few cycles. If I hadn't been on here I'd have been none the wiser.

Phunkles, for being 2/3 days off your normal AF, I'd just say you're spotting just before AF is going to come. I could be wrong but I get it and count proper AF as first flowing day.

Good morning, Sunday CD12 here.
I got high on CBFM for the first time!:j

I know some people get highs for ages, and some don't get peak at all, or not ov even after peak, so I'm not going to get excited about that:o

i have a random question and im not sure if i even know whether anyone would have a clue? ok for last few months ive been cd31 fairly regular - today is cd29 and tmi - had very pale pink cm when I wipe ? Only dtd from cd21 onwards.... which im thinking is too late to concieve? but never noticed it before..... im thinking af doing a different thing this month? anyone???

DTD CD21 onwards? Did you not dtd any earlier than that?
You may have ov'd late, or you are like Fantafan and have short luteal, in which case there's a chance, but if you are regular, then it sounds like pre-AF spotting. I very occasionally get it 2 days before AF. I temp so I know it's AF because of the drastic temp drop.

Yeah only from cd21 onwards - currently at different end of the country to my oh.... so dont get to see him as often as wed both like hence us not terming it ttc instead we were not preventing and we are now leaving it to fate.

No stay! More the merrier, and unless actively preventing, you are ttc:D

I'd say it was spotting too, Phunkles. Afraid CD21 is probably too late for your 30 ish day cycles. Even so, DTD whenever you do see OH, because you never know if you might ov late one month. I ov'd a whole week late one month and that would mean CD21 would have been spot on.

Well done to Fairyshazza on 3.5lb loss :T

Gorgeous picture, Evansangel

Congratulations Evansangel - you looked beautiful - hope you had a great day!

CD9 for me - we DTD yesterday and will do every other day now until CD16 in the hope we catch my OV - very regular 27/28 day cycles so should catch it. Spent 15 mins doing a shoulder stand afterwards to help gravity along.....

xDx

Phunkles don't go.

The Zita is Zita West and the book is called "getting pregnant" thanks to rach for that info.

Nothing doing here back to work tomorrow, boo hiss.

Morning all, cd9 and another low day on cbfm so something this cycle as last cycle I had highs on cd7&8 and peak on cd9 and yet nothing so far this month which is annoying as ov would have fallen on weekend.

I don't mind arguments - keeps things interesting..!

So my sis-in law is pg. They got married 24 April and announced she was pg on 21 May. (It's due late Jan, so definitely a honeymoon baby).

I'm *nearly* happy for them..I'll get there, I really will.

++++++++++++++++

I forgot to add that I'm almost 37, so time is not on my side. And a little bit fat too - I've got to lose 13 pounds to get my BMI down to 30 (merely overweight!) and another 2 stone after that to get down to 'normal' according to FertilityFriends' brilliant BMI calculator. I'm doing DietChef and a little gym.

I'm really serious about this. We went hell for leather last month, CBFM, DTDX15, baby aspirin, robitussin, vit b12, coconut water, pineapples...the lot. And nothing.

This month, I've cut out caffeine and booze (haven't had a drink in 4 weeks! And that from a sad, old raging alkyholic.)

CD3.

What does the Low/High CBFM stick look like?

My lows were dark oestrogen line and light LH line (near pee end).

I got my high one for the first time today, but it looks almost the same.
Maybe the oestrogen is a bit lighter, and LH was maybe slightly darker, but had pencil thin solid line on the pee end.

I took Soy to boost oestrogen, so I don't think I'm normal:o
I did check http://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html#14
And it does look similar to mine, but no photo of low stick.

TMI alert: CM wise, it seems to be gearing up, shiny but not stretchy at all. I usually get this anyway around these dates, but don't get enough surge for ov (ov fails).

Thanks:)
