Luteal phase

OK...Anyone understand what the deal is with this? I know I have read 100 times it is regualr and does not change, maybe by a day.

I used to ALWAYS get AF on what I thought was 13dpo. And occasionaly on 12dpo. I looked back on previous charts and they were regualr 12 or 13. Well last month it was what I have to guess is 15dpo ( or 15 days past iui, which Im counting as O day)...and now Here I am again, todays day 14po and nothing yet, but temp dropped below CL so I know Im not PG. Looks like it will be tommorow, so another 15dpo.

Is this something that ok? Or would a 3 day change be something weird based on what all the info says?

Just wondering, cause I have too much time on my hands to THINK about all this! LOL

THANKS

Re: Luteal phase

I am not sure if you are charting with FF or ovusoft, but they don't always get the O date correctly. Are you 100% positive when you o'd ? In other words, did you get blood work and a u/s done ? Then your temp had a thermal shift ? The last two cycles, FF had me Oing on incorrect dates...but because I had the bloodwork, u/s and the fertility monitor , I was able to detect the error.
Post your chart,....I will let you know, if I notice anything.

If you are on progesterone suppositories or, if you had multiple ovulation, I believe the LP can be a bit extended. If you had multiple ovulation, your O day, can exist over a day or two. Mulitple ovulation doesn't occurr simantaneously.

Re: Luteal phase

Wow...Michelle, thank you for explaining that. Since I have been on meds for multiple follicles my lp has been a day or two longer. I wasn't sure why, but now I understand and will know not to expect AF till at least 15 to 16 dpo.
I don't know where or how you have all this knowledge, but thank you again.

Re: Luteal phase

My blood work has been showing a "surge" and I go in for the IUI the next day. The last 4-5 cycles I have used the blood work versus depending 100% on an OPK. So Im using IUI day as O day based on the surge on blood the day before.

Re: Luteal phase

Donna, last cycle, your IUI wasn't timed correctly. I remember that from your chart, that's why I FM you. This cycle, I remember, the same thing almost occurred. Remember when I had you going crazy ...running to the drug store. :) ? lol

Baby dust :) Hopefully, your coverline is wrong and AF doesn't show !

Gerty, Dr. Stelling at Rsofny, told me about the multiple ovulation not occurring simulataneously :)
