Feeling a little 'catch 22'...

MrsSM · September 2010

I have very short cycles, like mostly 23-25 days, and a lot of the time I feel very lucky because I don't have very long to wait for anything.

But at the same time, around this time in my 2WW, I feel a little disheartened, because my LP is so short and I know that I will have very little time to be hopeful.

So many people who are TTC in the 4 1/2 months since I started have only had a couple of chances, and I feel so bad for being upset. At the same time, I may have had 6 chances, but I've also had 5 BFN, 5 AF, 5 very short LPs. Just hoping #6 is the lucky one....

I think you already know that I know EXACTLY how this feels. The wild ups and downs of TTC are just that much more compressed for us. I'm not yet in the 2WW with you, but I'm thinking of you! ::hugs::

Aww, thanks sweetie, I DO know that you know!

That is a very pretty little O dip, looks like you are hopping into the 2WW too! I o'd so early this cycle! still thinking it should have been CD 12 and not 11, but either way crosshairs aren't what gets you KU! Wink

I'll be stalking you!

Hm, I see your chart as showing O on CD12. But your CHs are nice and solid, which is nice!

I know what you mean about my O dip! This is a much bigger O dip than I usually have, but this is my first cycle temping vaginally, so I guess that explains it. I'm thinking I'm O'ing today ... I'm going away on business tomorrow, so DH and I are going to get busy one more time before I leave. Wink

I feel the same way, my cycle ranges from 21 - 25 days. So it is like we should be happy that we have less time to wait before testing (which is nice) but when all of the results are BPN it feels like I am not over one failed cycle when another BPN or AF arrives.

I'm in exactly the same position. Mine are 25-26 days, and I've had 6 BFNs. Fortuntely, my LP is at least in the normal range... I just tend to O pretty early.
