Confused with 2 week window

[Bubble29]

Hi ladies,
Just after some clarity as this is my first cycle TTC.

I have been tracking my mensural cycle for 6 months and it’s lasts 24-25 day’s. This month I used the CB advance ovulation tests and identified my fertile window (shown by a flashing smiley) occurred on days 7-13 of my cycle and then I had the static smile suggesting I was due to ovulate on day 14. We did the deed throughout this period.

I know ovulating on/around day 14 know is ‘normal’ however this is later than was my app showed and is over halfway of my cycle.

Now the confusion. Because my peak ovulation occurred on day 14 and I only have 25 day cycles, I don’t have a 2WW before my next period. my next period is due 11 days after my peak CB test which will be on the 11th Jan.

Does this lower my chances of conceiving and is this normal?

Thanks

From ovulation to period is called your luteal phase, it can range from 10 to 14 days. I think any less than 10 is a concern, but it does vary as you dont always ovulate the same time each month. Before i started trying to conceive dc2 my luteal phase suddenly went to 9days, i managed to increase it to 12days by taking vitamin b12,folic acid. Started ttc and it took 2 month (currently sat bf my 6 month old). When i was trying to conceived DC1 it took 2yrs and my luteal phase was a good 13/14 days. So don't panic!!!
Good luch TTC x

Thank you for your reply. I have started to take folic acid but haven’t considered any other supplements. I had bloods done a few months ago any nothing was flagged at the time.

It’s so easy so hang one everything you read about the ‘text book cycle’

Thats a positive then that nothing has been flagged in your bloods. Yeah Google is your enemy lol, get yourself on to the ttc boards as the ladies on them will be a great support on this (hopefully short) journey x

Would you say there is no point in peeing on a stick before my AF given my luteal stage is so short? I’m guessing a it’s highly unlikely to show given the term 2WW for anything to be detectable.

I would always say wait till AF is late, easier said than done i know. Dont have any tests at home to stop the temptation, that way you dont stress yourself out wondering if you see a line. When trying for DC1 that took 2yrs i always waited until AF was a day or so late and then guarenteed i would take a test it would be negative and AF would arrive an hour later, but at least i wouldn't be looking at the test wondering, i could see the negative and concentrate on the next month ttc. I would also treat myself if it was negative to something i know i couldnt have if pregnant, a large gin, nice pate etc...made me feel better x
