Cycle 1 with Ovusense.
- Thread starter CockerMum
- Start date
Because mine has dropped a day later than last month...I wonder if it will change...I should have phoned my consultant today but went shopping instead lol...everything I've seen have all said about a short lp but nothing about a long one...there's a testimonial on ovusense from someone who found out they had a long lp x

Something I have found just quickly:
I have a long luteal phase of 17-19 days. I know this because of temping: I usually have 17 or 18 days of elevated temps before they fall and AF starts.
In a woman's menstrual cycle, it is the follicular phase that is variable, while the luteal phase is fixed from cycle to cycle. So, first of all, you need to make sure how long your LP is and temping is a very good way to do this. It is more likely that your O day is varying from cycle to cycle rather than your LP.
A long luteal phase is not a problem and doesn't contribute to IF. It simply means it takes a bit longer for your prog level to crash and bring on AF. Prog is necessary to maintain a pg, so I say we ladies with long luteal phases give any embies the best possible chance to implant.
After having confirmed O, if you end up going 3 weeks or more without AF this does not mean you have a long LP. More likely, it means you did not produce enough prog during your LP (it is the crash of prog levels that brings on AF) so its important to have a 7dpo prog level.
Your doctor cannot tell from an u/s that you will be Oing "right away," so I'm not sure why he would say that unless he meant within the next few days. All he can see is a follicle (before O) or a collapsed follicle or no follicle at all (after O). It is rare that he would actually catch a follicle rupturing before his eyes, in which case you would be Oing right then and there, not about to. Its kind of like looking at an X-ray and telling someone they are about to break their arm. Impossible! Its either broken or its not broken.
Also, have you had your LH levels checked (baseline and leading up to O)? Women with elevated LH (like myself) will have difficulty using OPK's as they can be inaccurate showing days and days of +++'s followed by --'s and then more +++'s, frustrating to say the least! Elevated LH is a common symptom of PCOS, but you don't have to be diagnosed with PCOS to have elevated LH.
Is there a reason for jumping right to IVF after Clomid, or would you consider trying injectables first?

Fingers crossed for you babe.
I am going to book an app for new year just keep putting it off as I am overweight I stopped smoking a few months ago and piled the pounds on so don't want to go docs for them to shove me off saying I am too fat to do anything. I am trying to start losing properly starting tomz, although being ill may have helped xx

I was overweight I still have about 1 stone to loose then I'll be happy. I lost a load of weight to get my bmi to 30 for the Ivf treatment and then they discharged me! I was fuming and went straight and ate a bar of chocolate lol xx

Wow that's a big rise maybe you do ovulate early. Can't remember if I asked whether you have FB or not? I am on the users group for Ovusense on FB and you can have a consultation with their fertility nurse for an hour for free. Maybe once you see a few more days of your chart asking her about your long LP.
I slept terrible and had diarrhoea (sorry tmi) haven't gone to work again, OH said to fudge them and make sure I am 100% haven't had any sick for 3 years but still feel bad. Had a nap on the sofa this morning with Echo (pup) and have woken up not being able to hear much out of my left ear. Honestly need to be chucked in the scrap yard ATM lol!
My chart went up abit but seriously needs to get up there lol! TBH looks like it's slowly going down xx

I do have facebook but don't want people on my page seeing that I joined that page if that makes sense? Do you know if it will come up on my page that I have been added to the group?
That's good that you get an hour consultation with someone for free.
Yea make sure you're better before you go back to work nothing worst than feeling rotten and then having to go back off sick again.

I have asked and they said if the search for the group your profile pic will come up but won't advertise anywhere that your on it etc. Nobody has said anything to me and they don't know we are trying.
Yeh that's what OH said, still can't hear out my left ear and my right one is hurting.
Family have decided to do a weight loss challenge/competition so will be able to show doctors progress of weight loss which is good will book my GP app when AF shows xx
