having a strange cycle this month....
i usually have been O'ing on day 17 (which is today), but i haven't had any EWCM in the past 2 days and i haven't had a temp rise or dip to show ovulation
if my LP is 10 days, if i O late, will my LP be shorter than 10 days?
my acne is horrible and usually subsides a bit after I O and then picks up again right before TBAF.
i think after this cycle, i will have to make an appt to see my OB...

I would think (though not positive) that your LP would stay the same, so you would get AF later.
There are a lot of factors (like stress) that can delay O.
What is your current CM like?

Re: having a strange cycle this month....

Re: having a strange cycle this month....
i dont think i could have O'd b/c i temp every morning and i haven't had any rises and sustained high temps and my cervix is still hard and low....

Re: having a strange cycle this month....
how about increased stress? something stress can prolong cycles, even for those who have VERY regular cycles

I agree! And something as simple as traveling can through off O. Hang in there. Keep temping & make use an OPK also.

i have another thought-- this is my 5th month of bcp and my cycles were regular right away when i stopped taking the pill-, 27 day cycles and O on day 17 and 10 day LP.
could it be possible that my body is still regulating itself off the hormones?
i'll buy and OPK later today...

Re: having a strange cycle this month....
I think your right. That is what happened to me when I went off bc four years ago. At first your all regular, and then you go all wacky, before you get regular.

Re: having a strange cycle this month....
Even though you've been pretty regular since coming off BC, it's possible to have one month that's longer. Your luteal phase will stay more or less the same, so once you O, you should expect AF by 10DPO.
Like the ladies have said, even something simple can delay your O date so keep temping and checking your CM. The good thing is that you know for sure when you have O'd because of taking your BBT, so there's no question about it.
On a side note, although 10 days is considered fine for a luteal phase length, I've read that some women have trouble conceiving or rather sustaining a pregnancy if they have less than an 11 or 12 day luteal phase. Would you consider trying anything to try to lengthen your LP? I have heard that vitamin B6 can help lengthen it.

Re: having a strange cycle this month....
thanks loveyq.
yeah, i am concerned about my short LP. i've heard about B6, but i think that if i have another 10 day lp this month, i'm going to call my OB rather than self medicate.
my cervix is much soffter tonight (thanks to DH and the BDing ) and i had some creamy CM, so hopefully I will O soon...
