FINALLY and a ?

I believe I got a + OPK this morning. It was at 6am because as a kinder teacher it is virtually impossible for me to test any other time of day so I test before and after work. I am using the internet cheapies and this is the first time I have gotten anything that even resembled a positive on them. The one side was as dark as the control but the other side was more faded. It was a lot darker than the past million tests I have taken this month though so I am calling it a +. We will see what my temps to in the next couple of days. So...with that being said, should I go ahead and do some bding even though this is a pretty late O? We would like to TTC this cycle, and my doctor said it was fine after the c/p we had in mid August, but she also mentioned something about late O possibly being the reason for my m/c. WWYD?

I personally don't understand the late ovulation theory. So I think you should BD and not waste an egg :-)

Do it! If you get KTFU the Dr will put you on progesterone pretty much immediately (which I think is the most common problem w/late O).  GL!

I would just go for it

What's considered late ovulation?

 

Typically I have 35 day cycles with ovulation occuring (as far as I can tell by CM) on days 17-20, and then AF arriving on day 35.

Thanks guys. That's what we were thinking. I had my PCOS test this past Saturday but she said if I do have PCOS that is more likely to make it harder to get pregnant, so she said to go ahead and try. I also have a lab request for a progesterone test at 7dpo, so I figure if I do that and end up being pregnant and my progesterone comes back low they will just put me on progesterone right away correct?

I don't think I've ever heard about a late O being a problem...was the dr. maybe thinking/talking about a short LP? Either way, DO ITTTT!

My doctor said cycles longer than 35 days are a cause for concern. I usually O between days 21-23 but this time I am even later I think because of the c/p.

Maybe I don't understand, but I didn't think it mattered when you O. Before meds I O'd very late in the cycle and the doctor still encouraged us to TTC.  I would follow your doctor's orders....if you have the green light then go for it!  GL

There is a theory some doctors have that late O=poor egg quality and poor lining for implantation.

YAY!!  Yup, I say "hit it!"

I have no idea.

Definitely BD!  Your doctor is the only one I've heard that thinks there is a problem with late O.  My doctor isn't concerned about mine at all and he's been a high risk OB for 20+ years.

Go jump him!

I would go for it!  Have fun!
