So im 10dpo today.

Just waiting for my IC HPT to be delivered and going to test on friday with fmu. Are the IC reliable at 12dpo?

I used conceive plus this month and ate pineapple 1-5dpo so fingers crossed.

Also, am i right in thinking that the luteal phase is always the same every month, give or take a day? Is it just ovulation that fluctuates month to month? Xxx

Hi!! I'm a little behind you at 7 dpo, I'm hoping to hold off testing until Mon/Tues. I'm pretty sure it's just OV dates that can fluctuate. Your luteal phase needs to be at least 10 days minimum to support a pregnancy but ideally more like 14 days. I had a chemical pregnancy last September and my luteal phase was only 10 days long.

I dont know where to get a FRER from, Tesco and asda don't seem to sell them.

Im sure i read luteal phase is always more or less the same and only ovulation fluctuates which affects cycle length.
The reason im asking is because my cycles vary from 28-36 days. This is only the 2nd time using opk, the first time i used them AF came 12 days after a positive opk - so 11dpo. BUT i had spotting a few days before, which is normal for me before AF.

Soooooo ... if my luteal phase is 12 days give or take a day, it means that AF would be due around tomorro, and I should of had spotting by now and I havent!!!

Maybe im looking for signs lol just wondered if anyone can shed any more light on luteal phase? Xx
