Hi All
On our 3rd month of TTC.
Just abit of background i have 4 boys that were conceived relatively easy and quick (likely why they are all boys 😂) apart from being deficient in iron, ferritin (overall HB is good) and vitamin b12 and D all of which ive been using supplements and have had 2 courses of vitb12 injections over the last 3 months. Other than that pretty healthy, not a smoker and much of a drinker. On the overweight side yet rectifying this with diet and exercise as best as I can. Last DS was born in Feb this year and I am not bfeeding.
Ive been monitoring my cycles the last 4 months. Prior to having ds4 they were around the 28 day mark yet I have to admit i wasn't paying too much attention, just monitoring length. I don't chart yet started using opks in July. I count O day after the first positive opk and then dpo after that.
June- length 33 days
July- length 29 days. O cd17. LP- 12 days
August- length 24 days. O cd15. LP- 9 days
September- 33 days. O cd 21. LP- 12 days. i had spotting from 10dpo sometimes bright other times brown mainly on tp, once on underwear. I was using hpts from 8dpo. Started getting faint hpts on 11dpo (symptoms from 8-11dpo that stopped at 12dpo) hpts did darken at 12dpo and then nothing at 13dpo which i ended up classing as cd1 as spotting increased with cramps and flow.
Now with what happened with my last cycle im very worried there is an issue with either LP or low progesterone. I do have some of the symptoms associated with low prog.
My main concern i started spotting before i got a faint positive and im worried my body may have already been preparing for af yet a bean was also trying to stick.
At this point im seeing what this cycle does and if it doesn't result in a bfp im heading to the drs to get some bloods and take a month off. I hope they will do them despite our short time of ttc.
Just wondering if anyone else can offer any input or has had issues with LP or low prog. While i know these may not be an issue with me i just want to hear some feedback. We have only been ttc a short time so I know its early days and possibly my body is still trying to adjust after ds4. It just certainly makes for expensive fertility monitoring and planning for dtd 😂😂
Thanks for reading
