Confused as all get out...please read and be confused with me :)
Ladies, WTH is my body doing to me? I am a 28 CD girl and pretty regular as long a I am not screwing it up with progesterone..well just the other day I realized that I had ovulation pain and a positive peak OPK on CD 20 but was concerned about when to test seeing as though I am due for AF 8 days from that. Well another support board brought to my attention I seem to be suffering from a short luteal phase and the light bulb came on and that made perfect sense. I am shedding lining before a miracle can happen. Well I proceeded to want to get a plan in place but knew I had to wait for Tuesday when my cycle is due to get to a doctor and request a few things to help lengthen that phase. WELLLLLLL yesterday CD23 or 2dpo I noticed I was again having lower abdomen pressure like I do when I ovulate but I ignored it. Today CD24 or 3DPO I am having lots of hard to ignore pressure and twinges and get this....EWCM....ummmm WTH????? WTH is this?
Any thoughts? I am baffled

I\'m just as confused as you unless your OPK was off. When I was taking fertility medicine I was warned that CM wasn\'t always an indication of ovulation.
When I conceived naturally, I ovulated approximately 24 days into my cycle.
Well thank you Shawnie..I don\'t know what this crazy body of mine is trying to do. I am truly stumped.
Why can\'t things just be easy for us poor IF\'ers? Did you take another OPK, I would just to see wth is going on in there .. if you think you have luteal phase deficiency make your RE test you for it, i think I had to do blood work and a uterine biopsy for that .. super ouch but very helpful!! XO
Mendolove **Easy**what is this foreign language that you speak..LOL surprisingly I am not upset I am just confused. I have a doctors appointment Tuesday, we don\'t have any RE\'s in our beautiful state of Alaska anymore and out of the 2 we did have only one did IVF and he wasn\'t successful with me and the other didn\'t do any of the hard stuff she referred people to seattle, she would test and do iui\'s but that is about it.
When I said easy . that was sarcasm and wishful thinking hahaha! I keep forgetting about the RE situation in Alaska .. some natural things that may help LPD are; Vitamin C, Omega 3\'s foods rich in EFAs like Flaxseeds, walnuts, salmon, sardines, halibut, shrimp, snapper, scallops and chia seeds, Vitex (don\'t use with fertility drugs) and B6 and medication wise progesterone cream may help!!! XOXO
Oh I know you were kidding lol. I have also been told that B6 will help so all the things you have suggested will go right along with my new regimen lol. OH I took another OPK and unfortunately it looks positive haha...my silly body
Maybe you O twice this month .. it happens!!
