Thank you for your response! I realize me LP is too short which is why I was taking the b vitamins but I'm on CD 20 now and still haven't gotten a strong positive on OPK. Now I've stopped the b vitamins about 6 days ago and I've decided to try natural progesterone cream for a couple of months before going to the doctor (I'm not ready for that step just yet). So you can get negative OPKs and still ovulate? We are still BDing but I can't start my progesterone cream until after I ovulate, so how will I know when it's ok to start the cream??? Ugh, this is frustrating!
A short luteal phase can prevent you from conceiving. My suggestion is to go see your doctor and get some blood work done. OPK's are no where near 100%. Your doctor can tell you if you're ovulating and when. In addition to that, he could give you some advice on extending your luteal phase. 10 - 12 days is better but ideal it would be around 14 days. Implantation occurs anywhere from 6 - 12 days past ovulation. If you're only having a 7 - 9 day phase its very likely that the embryo doesn't have enough time to implant.
It could be something as simple as low progesterone or thin lining.
Thank you sweetie-pie! Tons of baby dust to you!!!
WELL IM KEEPING MY FINGERS CROSSED AND PRAYING FOR U SPRINKLING BABY DUST YOUR WAY

Thanks for your response! Yeah, I stopped taking them 3 days ago (when I didn't get a + OPK on CD14) and I have continued to use the OPKs. Today I got an almost positive (which I normally get the day before I get my positive) and so I'm hoping tomorrow will be the day! I'm definitely laying off the B vitamins and focusing on using natural progesterone cream! I've done a ton of research and it seems to be the better option for me! =)
sorry i just saw that u were talking 2 her
yes i charted and i actually have 3 different ones and 2 said i o'd yesterday and the other says i have up until Friday so im super confused now
Maybe the spotting is implantation bleeding but this usualy happens 5-10 days after ovulation. It could be that u ovulated and caused a bit of blood. Maybe also due to a cyst rupture... It could be many reasons... Usually when u have creamy cm, its usually the type of cm i get after i ovulate. Do u chart your bbt? this would help u confirm that u ovulated
MAYBE YOU SHOULD STOP THE VITAMIN B FOR A MONTH AND SEE IF IT HAPPENS THEN
OK SO I STARTED TAKING FERTIBELLA ON THE 31ST AND I HAD GOT SOME FREE OPK'S AND HPT'S SO I TOOK A OPK AND IT WAS + SO THEN ON THE 1ST I TOOK 2 MORE OPK'S JUST 2 SEE AND THEY BOTH WERE + AS WELL SO NOW 2DAY THE 2ND I TOOK 1 AND IT WAS - AND I AM ALSO SPOTTING.
