My luteal phase ...

... hit day 10 today with a nice, high temp this morning and I am like, stupid happy about it! Such an improvement from the 7/8 day long mess that was my last two cycles.
Maybe the crazy mystery herbs my acupuncturist has been giving me are actually kinda sorda working?
C'MON BODY ... give me 11... or even 12!

Re: My luteal phase ...
Woooo hooooo! Thats great
fx you get to 11...12 or more 
Edit: I just noticed that this post turned me to bronze status, I am not sure if that is a good or bad thing!
LoL ... I noticed that mine changed to bronze recently too.
I've been on theknot/thebump for years but have never posted as much as I do now!
I got hooked when I needed something to do while pumping and now I can't get off of this board!
Unexplained Infertility
After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!
TTC #2
After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!
Yay!!! I am right there with you. I hit day 10 and get excited,too.
On an even more positive note, the only time I personally have ever had a LP longer than 11 days was the cycle I was pregnant...so maybe it is really good news for you!
I also really like this board. It doesn't seem to have the snark that alot of the other boards have.

Surprise, our 2nd daughter P was born 5/22/14!
IVF #1 ET 1 d3 embryo 10/30/11 BFP
3 Embryos frozen (1 d5, 2 d6)
DS born 07/29/12
FET #1 ET 1 d5 embryo 02/10/15 BFN
FET #2 1 d6 embryo didn't survive thaw, transferred last d6. CP
Same here! The only time mine have ever been longer than 10 days are when I've been pregnant too, but I am certainly NOT holding my breath. I feel kinda blah and a little crampy so I'm sure AF with be showing her uggo face tomorrow.
I also like this board because there isn't any snark. Cyber bullying as adults? Totally lame.
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.

Isn't that the question!
OP, Congrats on your luteal phase.
I had my first post pardum cycle and my luteal phase was only 6 days. Hope it improves this time, but what I am really hoping for is a bfp.

Baby N conceived after 1 miscarriage and more than 2 years of TTC. Diagnosis was low sperm count. We found success after 3 months of anastrozole to increase DH's testosterone and one IUI.

Sure it does. People have won the lottery more than once.
I think that if AF doesn't show up by tonight, you should test tomorrow morning...not that my opinion matters, but I know I would be POAS - lol!!!

Why waste a test?! LoL. I'll think about it.
So has AF showed up yet? If not, you have way more will power than I do not testing!!!

NO! Can you believe it?! An 11 day LP! I peed on an OPK this morning after I got another high temp but it was negative. I'm not going to waste an actual pg test. It would have been + on the OPK if I was (that's how I determined whether or not I was going to use a sacred pregnancy test with DD and DS - crazy, I know
I really hope it's because of the herbs and acupuncture I've been doing! Of course the crazy in me is worried something new is "wrong" because I have never had an LP this long other than the two times I had kids. Because obviously it could never be possible for my hormones/reproductive organs to actually be "normal" for once!
Right?! Ha.
Well, congrats on your longer LP! I would be excited if my LP was longer, too. I don't think you should worry something is wrong. Maybe the herbs and acupuncture are working! I don't think a long LP is a bad thing. The only time I ever had an 11 day LP was when I was taking B6...and the only time it was longer than 11 days, I was pregnant.
I would not count yourself out on the pregnancy thing, though, as I don't know how reliable an OPK is...especially this early.
I have to say that you have more self-control than I do. I was a pee-on-a-stick-aholic. I would start using pregnancy tests at like 7 DPO...which really is a waste of a test because even when I got my BFP, it wasn't until 9 DPO (and that was early). I ended up buying some cheap WONDFO's off the internet that were like 5-10 cents a test because I used up so many of them.

Ha, yeah I used to test all of the time but got sick of seeing negatives time and time again, so now I just don't do it. We'll see if AF comes tomorrow!
