Chemical pregnancy...swaying, shortish LP or just bad luck?

Gosh it is so hard Deaks, sending lots of love and positive vibes your way. At least you have a way forward and know you can get pg with your O+12. Good luck this cycle hun. At least your hormones will be more girly this cycle.

Thanks indigo, you always have such kind words Do you really think a chemical sways girl? i wasn't sure the hormones would be enough? Also kicking myself for having 11 days off the diet but then perhaps my body needed it.

A doctor once told me that on average, women only have a 20% chance of getting pregnant each month. He didn't say anything about the eggs, though, and I assumed it was a combination of factors that would contribute to that 20%. Plus, 20% seemed really low to me.

Maybe that's where Tamara got the 80%? the flip side of the 20%?

Hmmm...good point!

One thing that has always bugged me about that 20% number is that a lot of people aren't necessarily doing everything in their power to conceive, KWIM?? Like a lot of people just BD on CD 14 even tho a lot of women don't even O on CD 14.

On the Deanna's Plan site it says that when people follow the plan 40% of them get pg...that makes me think the number just has to be higher. Now some pg do go onto be lost, but I'm not totally convinced that a lost pg always means a bad egg, you know??

I was taking b6 for my lp, lp spotting and to dry up my milk (still producing some even though I'd stopped nursing ds1 9 months earlier), when I got my bfp with ds2. I then slowly reduced my intake during the first trimester and was only taking what was in my prenatal by 15weeks. I deliberately bought tabs low in dosage so that I could do this easily. I've no idea if the b6 really worked as I still spotted that cycle and had light flow 4dpo - 10dpo, but that was month 3 of taking it with no breaks.

Thanks Blue, I think that is the perfect way to ease off the B6.

Still deciding whether to take b6 as it sounds like it would be better to take it constantly not just ov to af but then i really don't want to delay ov anymore than it is. If the progesterone is lengthening my LP is there any need for me to take it?

No, but just be sure you are able to keep up with the prog supps throughout the first trimester without missing a day!!
