Help! Long luteal phase
Hi,
We have been ttc for 4 months. My last period was 19th December. I think I ovulated around 3rd to 6th Jan (opks and ewcm). I had some spotting last weekend, just slight pink. My cycles are long. My last 2 were 37 and 38 days. I've had cramps for weeks. I've also had nausea and very dry cm for a week.
i really thought this was the month but bfn :-(
If I ovulated when I did then my luteal phase is ridiculously long.
very confused and down. It's also the worry that something is wrong. Has anyone else had anything similar?
Thanks xx

OpKs aren't a guarantee of ovulation.... they just indicate but can go away if you are stressed. I had a month where I kept getting positives but it didn't happen as was stressed and it delayed. A luteal phase is usually 16 days max.... I haven't read anywhere where it's longer. Sounds like you geared up for ovulation but it went away only way to confirm ovulation is to track basal temperatures
Could the spotting last weeked have been a light period?
Yeah maybe. It was very very light though. I've purchased a thermometer to start temping this month. My body hates me :-/
thanks your response x
I have been there. Since my Mc sometimes my period have been just spotting where I have only needed a liner. Frustrating
