Hi lovelies š
I get ovulation around cd24 on a 29 day cycle, making my luteal phase only about 4-5 days long. I track with 3 things- bbt, ovulation strips and observing discharge. I have read many womens experiences in the internet and found a few whose experience was very similar to mine. Yesterday I went to see a gynaecologist and she basically told me that I am making this up and short luteal phases donāt excist in women who otherwise have regular periods. She did not even want to do any tests because everything is āperfectly fineā because I DO ovulate and I DO have periods. š
I read that people with my experience have taken clomid and that has helped them to ovulate earlier and get a longer luteal phase. I am just wondering how did you get a doctor to prescribe you clomid? Because they first have to believe in what is happening. 31 am y/o.

If they are dismissive of your experience you can ask for a second opinion. So awful when you feel you have to fight just to be heard, especially when you have the data from the tracking to back it up. I hope you get it sorted

Sadly, LPD is often quickly dismissed. I did a 6 month course of Clomid and it did lengthen my luteal phase when I was taking it. I didnāt conceive on it, but did conceive a few months after stopping it, heās now 16 months old so despite my short luteal phase, I had enough progesterone to sustain pregnancy

Update & success story: I called a fertility clinic asking for Ovulation Induction and found a doctor who actually listened to me. He said āwe have not been taught about this in med school but that doesnāt mean it doesnāt exist.ā I took letozole for the OI cycle. They also found my estrogen levels were too low and prescribed estradiol. I have just leardned I am pregnanct after just 1 cycle of OI!
How did you know you were ready for baby number two?
and not the typical saying of āyouāll know when youāre readyā. like what other things lead you to wanting another baby after your first?
I have a 15 month old son and I adore him with my whole heart, and truthfully I donāt feel like my family is complete yet but as we all know, having children is the hardest thing physically and mentally in this world, and whilst I donāt struggle, itās the wonder of how would I divide my time and attention between two, without stretching myself completely thin. I just have all these questions and no one to talk to about it.
I want to hear from everyone that has had two, or even thinking about having another if youāre in the same boat.
thank you :)

Iām having such a hard time believing my test is positive. I had a period on the 11th that was heavy for the full length and negative pregnancy test. My only symptoms are constant nausea and sore boobs fatigue. Iāve tested a few times next to the max line and itās positive is that a real positive⦠I feel like Iām going insaneā¦

Iām due to register my baby officially soon and my boyfriendās dad has asked for his own original copy of the birth certificateā¦? I found this so weird because what is he able to do with this document. I donāt want to give it to him
Iām very confused as to why he would even request this or am I overthinking things
What should I do? Would you give it to him ā¦
(Me and my partner live together and are doing well there no animosity between us )
