TTC Question

Disclaimer:  I have not read TCOYF.  I have read the "lessons" on FF, and everything else I've learned from reading this board. I've tried temping but with my whacked-out sleep/work schedule, it was just a jumbled mess that I couldn't make any sense of, so I gave up.  We've been just "winging it", while I've been paying attention mostly to my CM each cycle.

So, my question is, if you ovulate late, would you still get AF at around the same time, and have a shorter LP, or is it possible to O late, and still have an approx. 14-16 day LP, bringing AF later?

Looking at my CM, I only saw 1 day of EWCM around (what I thought would be) the middle of my cycle, when I usually see 3-5 days of it.  We toured then, but then no CM for 6 days.  Then, TEN days of EWCM (CD 24-33), then nothing.

I'm on CD 40 (yes, forty!) and still no AF, and no pg symptoms.  You should also know that my cycles have been known to be varied and last as long as 42 days on occasion, but average about 34 days.  I'm just wondering if maybe I O'd late (based on the 10 days of EWCM) and AF is about to show up anytime...

 I haven't POAS yet - not sure why, but I've got one all ready to go...  Just a little nervous and second-guessing myself, I guess.  What do y'all think?

I ovulate late (around CD 19-20) and my LP is 15 days. That being said, I think you should test!

I'm so bad with this stuff but wanted to say that I think you should test!    Now I'm excited for the results!

The LP does not change if it is 10 days then it is almost always 10 days. You could have O late but I say TEST

I usually O'd around CD 17-18 and then had a 12-ish day LP...my cycles were typically 32 days. So if you O later, usually you'll still have a normal LP, your cycles will just be longer.

Did want to mention that increased creamy/EWCM was one of my pg symptoms. You should test fo sho.

I think you should definitely test! EWCM is a PG symptom for me (it comes and goes), so you never know.

My ovulation is all over the board, but my LP is consistent. Take the test!

Your LP should be fairly constant.  The only wacky cycle where I had a weird LP was the one (or maybe the one before?) I had my chemical pregnancy.  But then it was short.

So, test!!!

Ooooh how exciting!!! EWCM is also a pg symptom for me, so ditto pp.

Test already! And good luck!!

I saw your BFN post above I'm sorry.

From TCOYF, your LP is almost always the same. Mine is almost always 11 days, sometimes 12, but then again my cycles are very regular.

MAYBE you were Oing sometime during days 23-33? That could explain why no AF yet.

You should get some ovulation prediction kits! I don't know exactly how they work - maybe some of the other girls can help with that - but it sounds like since your cycles are wacky and your sleep schedule is wacky, OPKs may really help!

And WOO HOO for TTC!

My LPs are more like 10-12 days with the shortest being 7 days according to FF (31-35 day cycles) and ewcm has preceeded AF on more than one occasion.
