I think that would be fair and reasonable behaviour.

Another question about luteal phases.

If you think you may only have a short one, what does that mean in terms of conceiving? Does it make it harder?

Right, so it's round to fruitloop's doc with a revolver then!

Mmmm M&S sandwich. I am having a day off from my organic obsession and eating an M&S christmas sambo. Is v good. And gives money to shelter, so I can assuage my non-organic guilt.

glasto saw your post in the hut... what a cow your BF's girlfriend is!! I would have balled my eyes out right there and then so everyone would see what a horrible person she is.

anyway, in answer to your question - i've heard a short luteal phase can sometimes be a problem with ttc if your lining starts to shed before the egg has a chance to implant. this normally happens 7-10 days past ovulation (but can happen as early as 5 days or as late as 12 days).

when an egg doesn't implant after 10 or so days, the corpus luteum stops producing progesterone and your womb lining starts to break down, a day or so later you get AF.

if you get an egg implant, then the corpus luteum keeps going with the progesterone until the placenta takes over.

if you have a short luteal phase it could indicate that you have low levels of progesterone - which a doctor can give you a supplement for.

some doctors don't believe that a luteal phase 'defect' (i.e. short one) is a problem, and will just tell you to continue ttc for the full year before investigating it any further.

DG how do you know all this stuff???

this is what happens when you have such long cycles, way too much time on your hands to look up the 'science' of conception.


even though I've stopped reading my two baby-making books I can't seem to forget all the information I've absorbed... I should probably drink more this xmas!

Well, CD13 for me tomorrow, only a couple of days till the dreaded 2ww! Am quite looking forward to it, in a weird, slightly perverse way. Imaginary sympton spotting will give me something to do at work...

Well, in case I don't log on over the weekend, have a nice one, folks!

Day 80! so do I get a prize for the longest cycle ever in the while wide world?????

Had my blood test yesterday (for LH and FSH) Not sure there was much point cos dont you need to do those on a particular day in the cycle?

I dunno

Anyway, I'll get the results in a week. The ultrasound woman said I wont get a scan till January, well I thought i'd have to wait much longer than that. So here's hoping for a Jan scan! My GP said I should come back to see him after and then he'll see what he can do but might be a case of perseverance - dunno how that's gonna happen (i'm the most impatient person ever)
