25 day cycle. Two day periods

[esunny]

Hey everyone

I need help with TTC. Does anybody know when i would be best DTD when i have a 25 day cycle? Thanks!

Hiya, your best bet is to start tracking your LH levels to find out when you ovulate and you will most likely ovulate the day after your peak - you wanna DTD during the four days leading up to ovulation and on ovulation day (apologies if you already know this!). I have a 26 day cycle and ovulate around CD13 but it varies by a day or so... Do you track LH or BBT?

Hello! Apologies but what is LH. I’m new to all this😫 what does CD13 mean? Really sorry! I track my temperature but don’t know if I am doing it right haha

My cycles are often 25 days and on those months, ovulation is day 11, sometimes day 12. when my cycle is 28 days long, ovulation was 14.

LH is the hormone ovulation tests/strips are looking for.

No need to apologise at all!

As Nessie2395 said LH a the hormone you can test for each day with dipstick test/strips that you dip in your pee (usually first of the day). When your LH rises and spikes, this is an indicator that you're about to ovulate (usually 12-24 hours after the peak). Once you know which day you are likely to ovulate on, then you can time DTD....

CD13 is Cycle Day 13 (counting 1st day of your period as CD1) - most people with 28 day cycles would ovulate around CD14 so with a shorter cycle you might ovulate a bit earlier like myself and Nessie2395... But the LH testing really helps you pinpoint when ovulation is about to happen. The temperature testing can confirm it's happened after ovulation but can't predict when it's coming up... And personally I find it harder to track/get right!!

Hope that makes sense :-)

Aww thanks so much that makes sense!!! Fingers crossed I can track it now :)
