Lp

I ovulated on the 20, and my cycles are 28 days. If I do conceive what should I do?
Do I need to lengthen it?
B6?

this cycle might not be 28 days, wait and see when/if AF turns up
are you temping to know for sure when you OV?

It's the same cycle I had when I conceived my boys.
I'm due Tuesday so we will see if it comes.
Not temping no. My temps seen accurate anyway because I nurse and have chronic hot flashes etc.

Your LP is usually tacked onto the end after your ovulation. It doesn't vary in length even if you ovulate later than normal, it's generally gonna be 14 (or whatever number of days) after your ovulation so I would expect to get AF a bit later than normal.

Now, it is possible to have both a delayed ovulation and a short LP, but they are not interconnected like that.

I really don't recommend the B6, I think it takes months to work and by that time usually your body has worked it out anyway. Even if you have a short LP, you don't HAVE to fix it, your body is already working to fix it.

OK so it's normal for you to have 8 day LP and you've gotten pg with that before???

Nursing can contribute to short LP - sometimes our bodies think "eh, now's not the best time for getting pg" and start these primitive birth control measures like delaying O and/or shortening LP to give you more time between babies.

Yes. I'm just more worried this time.
I'm paranoid of becoming infertile lol.

Guess we will see! Maybe Vitex will delay it. Guess we will see.
Thanks!

I think the nursing does sound like part of the "problem"

I had a 6 day LP my first TTC cycle when swaying so obviously that was too short to get pregnant. It had previously been 11 days before having DS1. I started vitex and vit B6, and also night weaned a bit. The cycle after all that it was 12 days, so my longest one ever! The cycle after that I got a BFP. so those things worked very quick for me

Ahhhhhhh so stressed out now.
