I'm not sure if it makes any difference....I know only that your LP has to be at least 10-12 days in order to get pg in the 1st place.
For example, there was this lady on IG with 2 boys, swaying for pink who has cycles EXACTLY like mine: 25-26 days, O around CD 10-12 and spotting 4-5 days before af ( which is a sign of a low progesterone so why the h*** do I have 2 girls?).
We both agreed that we have great chances to get our wanted gender LOL!m/c 2001

Totally off topic but ZB, have you always had spotting? Did you ever have your progesterone levels checked? I just never had the preAF spotting until the boy sway and now I usually do spot 2-3 days before AF. My cycles are 27/28 days, usually O on 13/14 and then a 14 day LP.
Gizmo, I'm pretty sure that it doesn't sway, but maybe someone else will know better. The benefit to short cycles is you get to try to get pg more often, but ZB is right that your LP needs to be at least 10 days to get a sticky one.

Yes, I always had it, 4-5 days before AF, and it was very recent since I discovered that not everybody have it
I've never checked my prog levels, but atomic said here that preAF spotting is sure sign of a low progesterone.
I think thaty since I'm on boy diet, my spotting is not that intense as it use to be
I'll try to find that thread for you.m/c 2001

Thanks a bunch ZB!!! This cycle I started taking the NYF and they have a big ol' boost of B6 in them so we'll see if that helps my spotting this time around. Luckily my LP is still the same length. But if I am still spotting in the fall I will likely call my doc ahead of TTC and have him test my progesterone for me. Atomic also suggested to me that it could be the fish oil supplement since it is a blood thinner.
Appreciate your help :-)
