@dragonfly87 yes about 2 hours one way and then of course one of the main roads was closed so traffic was being diverted. It was a long day. On the bright side I got my Girl Scout cookies!
@Tennis11785 the ride wasn't too bad. My sister drove. I had the task of trying to distract my 10 yr old niece from the fact that she had to pee with 45 mins left in the ride. I also have thoughts (longing same difference right?) of prenatal yoga. It doesn't help that one of the classes has modifications specifically for that and we often have a couple of ladies in the class.
@soemthingcleverI'm sorry you're having a rough go of it. I hope you're taking care of yourself mentally along with the physical healing. creepy internet hugs to you.

@Tennis11785 I played soccer. Funny enough, I didn't start that sport until 12. I wanted to play softball in college, but my shoulder was destroyed and I was a catcher... so that was out. I had played since I was 8 and started again on coed teams in my 20s. That's how I met DH!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
Timing: Not bad, I think. I didn't temp this month
Testing: I am a self admitted POASaholic. I have 15 cheapies calling my name. I got +'s at 9 DPO with both my previous pregnancies, so I admit I will start POAS at 9 DPO.
R/R: Still kicking myself for not temping. I usually O around CD20, but who knows!
CS/Q: Notta
GTKY: Do you have an exercise/fitness routine? What do you like about it?
I use the 21 Day fix videos for working out. That's about it for now.
Are any of you ladies "late ovulaters"? I have 29/30 day cycles and I have always ovulated late, on CD 19/20. It makes my LP right on the cusp of being too short. It took us almost a year to conceive our 2nd child because we kept thinking ovulation was happening around CD 13/14 based on my temps but then CD20 rolled around, and I'd get a temp drop. Once I started using OPK's with temping, the light bulb went off that I was actually ovulating late. Once we figured that out we got pregnant.
I am planning to temp next month if this month is a bust but I'm pretty confident I'm still O'ing late.
@Karrotelle With PCOS there is not really a "normal" for me, but I O'd cds 18 and 20 the last two cycles, which is a late-ish O. My LPs are normal though- between 11 and 14 days. I think you're right to temp and use OPKs to be sure. GL

@Karrotelle Length of cycle and length of LP are separate issues. What I mean by that is length of LP does affect cycle length, but cycle length doesn't affect LP. No matter when you ovulate, your LP should be somewhat consistent. That being said, I do have later O, but mine is erratic and so is my LP. O has been CD15-24 with an average of CD20. LP has been 12-14 days with an average of 13. If you're using FF, find your cycle statistics.

@Karrotelle I have the exact same cycle. 29 or 30 days with O between days 18 and 20. My LP is 10 or 11 days. As long as your LP is over 10 days, you should be fine. You can always try some B6 to help lengthen it.
Tennis11785 - GIFs are the best thing that happened to the world! I'm so happy that they added them to iPhone messaging especially since my husband SAYS he doesn't get emojis.
