The cramping is O pains. They aren't reliable to tell you exactly when you O because they can be there before, during, and/or after O.

How's Clomid treating you!? Has your cycle seemed relatively normal or has it majorly effected O? I'm hoping all goes well this cycle for you and that you see that BFP. It'll give me some hope that Clomid might help me!Quote:

I'm so anxious for my appt which is the end of April so I'm fully living vicariously through you :)
Know the feeling, I was doing that too through other people!!Quote:

I just o'd on cd 20 which is pretty normal for me, so it didn't move earlier yet. Will let you know if my luteal improves.
I seem to be in the same situation as you - I O between 18-22 and AF comes CD28 OR 29 so my LP has varied from 7-10 days. It's so frustrating. I feel like it should be so easy to fix, but then I get worried it's not. I'm really hoping you see some great results with your LP this month! Fingers crossed for you!!Quote:

Don't know if I've asked this before, but are you guys still bf-ing?Quote:

This is the first month I've temped and I'm 3dpo at the moment. Really hope my LP isn't silly short again but from what I've read getting it longer is a long winded process. :-( We will see.
I am still bf-ing morning and night though, and have done a few extras this last week as my LO has had a cold... I guess in light of this my LP might be even shorter!!!
I posted a reply but its not there...
Will wait to see if it appears!
Also do you count the LP as dpo or include O day in the calculation?
Me either, stopped about 10 months ago. I never have spotting in my LP either so I don't feel like prog. is the issues but I'm going to make sure they test it as well!Quote:
