Hi All,

I came off the pill in July this year and every month I seem to get my LH surge around CD20-21 and then get a bleed approx 9 days later so I reckon I have a leutal phase of approx 7 days. I've spoken to my doctor who wasn't interested and said I had nothing to worry about and said that I should stop worrying, throw away OPKS and just baby dance during the middle of my cycle. I'm convinced I've got something wrong with me so I'm booked in for a private scan and blood tests next week at a private clinic who will do a fertility check up. I also suffer from OCD and the whole stress with TTC seems to be making it worse

Hi,

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time. I wasn't on the pill so have no idea but is it possible that the seemingly short LP is to do with coming off of the pill and it would maybe change as your body adjusts? I suppose either way you will be able to find out more at your check up next week, good luck with that.

Where abouts in your cycle are you atm? x

I'm CD20 and got a positive OPK today, so if I am ovulating I should do over the next couple of days and will get AF around next Friday I'm not very good with uncertainty so next week should give me an idea of what's going on. How long have you been trying Broody?

Can't remember if we're on cycle 16 or 17 :\( we were just seeing how it went until last month when I finally faced that it wasn't going to happen carrying on like that and have started using OPK's - I have a new found sense of hope in those little sticks :\)

Hopefully its all just down to you coming off the pill and there wont be any problems, does your OH get to be checked out too? Also what tests do you actually get? You've got me all intrigued xx

I have read that coming off the pill can mess pretty everything in a girls body! I have read that it can mess with the LP too.
I'm so sorry your doctor couldn't be more sympathetic with you - doctors suck sometimes, especially with something like fertility when sometimes you just need some reassuring words and a bit of a pick me up of hope.

Good luck with private clinic - i'd be really interested in what they have to say so don't forget to post back

Hi. they are going to do an abdominal scan and test for LH & FSH, i then see the consultant and i'm guessing he'll test for progesterone too due to the short lp

hi hun, if you got you opk positive today then get B'Ding between now and 36hrs as you are still ovulating regardless of how long your phases are, you never know, lots of baby dust. hope your appointment goes well for you,take care xx
