Ladies with short cycles, when did you get your bfp?

[Rockygal]

I have a 24/25 day cycle and this month I ovulated on CD 13 or 14 (static smiley on CBOPK on CD13). Am now on CD 23 and AF is due in 3 days. I’ve been getting BFNs for the last two days because I couldn’t hold out any longer, but was hoping to hear some success stories from others with short cycles getting similar results and going on to test positive. Just really hoping I’m not out this month :(

@Carlotta27 thank you!! I completely get what you mean, it’s easy to get caught up in researching when ttc and worrying about everything on the internet says, especially as all the info online seemed to be swayed towards making it seem near impossible for short cycles to conceive easily! I have read a good number of success stories on netmums of BFPs with short follicular phases too, so hopefully that goes some way to giving you reassurance, although I’m similar to you I’m a big worrier!

how long have you been ttc?

I don't remember what day I tested. I think I was already late on my period a few days 🤷🏻‍♀️

But I do remember that we conceived on a month when I had to travel during my supposed ovulation window 😅 it didn't ever occur to me that because my natural cycle was 25 days, my ovulation with 28 day cycles (after the pill) would still be earlier than what the app predicted

Thanks @Rockygal - I know, it’s hard not to worry, especially when you’re a bit of a control freak and want certainty - it’s such an uncertain journey!

I’ve only just started TTC so shouldn’t be worrying, just already wondering how what such a short cycle will impact us and even considering seeing a fertility specialist for peace of mind! xxx

Hi I felt a need to update on my post and worries. Turns out I didn’t ovulate on day 6 as temps were wrong and it was actually day 14! That sets off a whole other set of worries as my cycle is only 19 days, but felt the need to share here for honesty xxx
