I strongly recommend temping vaginally this cycle & if possible without too much stress, charting your CM and cervical changes as well. fertilityfriend.com is fabulous for charting and helping determine O. Without temping & charting you can't be sure of when you Oed and if you're concerned about your LP it's important to be accurate.
I'm glad AF arrived, I know the waiting can be SO frustrating!
Mint tea can def. delay ov!! I haven't seen it do a ton for LP on the boards BUT on paper, it could possibly help with LP if you had a short LP due to PCOS or PCO-tendencies. It lowers testosterone and your body may have taken the raw materials it was using to make testosterone into making progesterone instead, thus lengthening the LP.
Did your temps coincide with the pos OPK?? pos OPK on CD 18 could mean O on CD 20 and a 14 day LP which would be great. OR, you may have had a delayed ovulation and Oed later than you think (pos OPK may have been a faker) and still had a short LP.
Can u post a chart?
I haven't been temping only OPK so I don't know about that.Quote:

I was feeling some O pain this past weekend and yesterday OPK looked like this Attachment 20854
Today it was weaker. Do you think yesterday was a positive OPK? I didn't do OPK before that because I thought it was still early for O.
We DTD on Friday and will again today. Hope we didn't missed our chance this cycle!
That is a positive OPK. Check out fertilityfriend.com to learn about charting.
yes that is pos! Good luck for this month.
Thank you, I will!Quote:

Clomid is the gold standard for lengthening LP.
honeybee, if clomid doesn't help I really recommend Vitex for short LPs. It works so fast on me, too. I started taking it again this cycle after a few months break, from 5DPO, and now I'm on 14DPO with still no AF! My LP was often under 10 days before.
