Great atomic thank you for the advice, my periods came a little early this month cd 27 seems I had a short luteal phase is this any concern? I'll be interested to see what my next period is like as we will try after that in june. Also should I be taken extra vid d (think I read it on some thread?) I'm only taken the centrum multivitamin along with the other supplements you suggested.

If you ovulated on CD 14 that's not a short LP. Anywhere from a 12-14 day LP is totally normal and even 10-11 days is long enough to conceive with.
The Centrum has enough in it of the Vitamin D, no need for more.

Thanks atomic I think my O was cd 16/17, I usually would be a 30 plus cycle very rarely under 30 days. My main question atm is, my daughters birthday is the start of june so possibly a week before we plan to try, we have family staying that weekend with us and would love to have a few drinks throughout the day and night but also I dont wana ruin my chances. Would you suggest avoiding alcohol that weekend when I'm so close?

No not at all, drinking in moderation would not matter just one day!

Thanks atomic, I feel with the last 2 weeks I have been very lax on exercise and diet, will be having our first attempts in 2weeks I'm nervous I may have affected my sway. Also is it okay to have a low cal protein bar sometimes as a mid morning snack after my fruit? I am aware there is a lot of sugar in those still and wondering am I best to avoid them and stick with my dark chocolate rice cracker and peanut butter? I feel I'm just getting sick of all the foods atm and looking for change I dono is it cause I feel really tired the last 2 weeks maybe.

It's ok, most of us have some times where we eat a little less.
What type of protein is in the bar? I would have it INSTEAD of fruit, not along with - you will end up gaining too much weight just adding in more food. You should always feel free to change things up but just be sure you're getting enough of whatever it is.

Ok thank you. I just read the back its milk protein and soy protein isolate is what I can see 🤷*♀️ I wouldn't have the bar often just when I feel I need a pick me up. Also Atm I am on cd 11 we have bd cd 6 9 10 is it okay to give it a break for another 2 days before we have our proper attempts and I am also out of pro biotic this week should I buy more or can I stop those?

I suggest avoiding soy protein if at all possible. There are many bars on the market that do not have soy in them.
I can't tell you if it's ok to take a break for 2 days because I can't know when you're going to ovulate. If you ovulate CD 12 or 13, you'd be taking off the prime time for your attempts.
I do like you guys to continue probiotic if you can but it's your call to make.

I will avoid the bars with soy thanks atomic. The last 2 months I have tracked using opk and I have being getting my peak at cd15, I know that could change of course as I would not be regular down to the day when it comes to O and my periods. I tested yesterday cd 10 and showed I was not fertile, if perhaps I continued to test over the next few days and take a break if I'm not fertile? I'm just conscious of burning out too soon or should we just bd every second night regardless until I get my peak?

It's your call, but I would be inclined to continue with the sex at least every 2 days. just because you've gotten peak on CD 15 in the past, this month it could come on CD 12, 13 and this is true even if a test is showing that you're not yet fertile. The tests are really not that reliable, we use them simply because that's what we have, but I don't like to see you guys expect them to be infallible. The fertile window can be opening any time now so I'd not take more than a day or two off.
Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
