Has anyone ever had a luteal phase that's longer than usual? My temps continue to be elevated....?

Question

....and I have not started my period. Fertility friend said to test today (which I did and got a negative, but I know it can take a while to build HCG). I know the luteal phase isn't supposed to vary that much from month to month within a person. I've always started my period on day 11 or 12 after ovulation, today is day 12 and I know it's not coming today since my temp hasn't dropped. So I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there who has had their luteal phase change. I don't want to get my hopes up. Thank you :)

Answer 1

Okay here's the deal.

Some women can test positive at 10DPO, some at 12DPO, and the majority at 14DPO.

Your luteal phase has no bearing on when you can take a test. In other words, just because your luteal phase is 10 days long, it doesn't mean you will test positive at 10DPO. You may be one of those women who test positive at 14DPO, making 12 DPO too soon.

My advice is to wait 2 days and test again... if your temps stay elevated and Aunt Flo stays away, you may just see a BFP at that point!

Good luck!!

Answer 2

I have but I am also on Clomid which can effect it. I actually had a luteal phase defect which is any luteal phase 10 days or less. Mine was around 9 days each month when I ovulated. My doctor said you and ideal luteal phase is at least 12 days. But last cycle my luteal phase was almost 20 days long!!! You could be pregnant and it is just too soon. My doctor says to wait until 18 dpo to test. Or you may have ovulated a little later than usual. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is wait it out. I would wait a few more days and retest. Stress and a lot of other factors can alter your cycle too. Best of luck ttc!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

That sounds a little promising!! Hope you get your BFP!! Usually your luteal phase will stay about the same (give a day or two) unless your cycles are changing (which they can at any time for no reason) but the fact that you temp is still elevated is a good sign!

Answer 4

I even have yet i'm additionally on Clomid that would effect it. i extremely had a luteal area ailment it rather is any luteal area 10 days or much less. Mine grew to grow to be into around 9 days each and each month as quickly as I ovulated. My physician suggested you and ambitious luteal area is a minimum of 12 days. yet very final cycle my luteal area grew to grow to be into very almost 20 days long!!! you would be waiting to prefer to be pregnant and it rather is barely too immediately. My physician says to attend till 18 dpo to objective. or you have ovulated extremely later than regularly occurring. regrettably the only component you're waiting to do is wait it out. i could wait some better days and retest. tension and various diverse aspects can alter your cycle too. appropriate of luck ttc!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Sounds like you are pregnant. The only thing it could be is if you are taking a medication that you had not taken in the past. I use to have a 25-27 day Cycle and then I went on Clomid and it went to 30 days.

Good Luck and I would wait a few more days and try again.

Answer 6

a temp that stays elevated is a possible sign of pregnancy ,you may have ovulated later than you thought and that could be why your test was negative or it could just be this month was not the month to conceive ,i would wait afew more days if af hasnt come test again ,baby dust to you.xx

Answer 7

It sounds like you could be pregnant if your temps stay up. They say 16-18 days of high temps above your cover-line means pregnancy. I hope this is the case for you, Good Luck!!!!!

Answer 8

Sounds good, just relax for a few more days and do another test, or a blood test because this would be more accurate!

Answer 9

as hard as it may be... don't think about it and maybe you actually are pregnant. if your temp isn't droppig i would say you are pregnant... or either coming down with a cold.
