One month has past, or should I say more than one month since AF visited. Last AF, my Luteal Phase was 13 days.
This cycle, I'm not very confident. DH wasn't well, and I didn't have any clear EWCM.
But I used Forelife OPK's and could detect when ovulation was suppose to take place. Even that, I'm still not sure when I really ovulated as I'm currently 14DPO and getting BFN (Big Fat Negative). I probably ovulated on day 24. A bit late this time. But I'm happy from this end, as it's the first time I get 3 positive OPK's in a row or more!
Few things changed this month, first I was fasting. Change of diet and lifestyle in Ramadhan may also contribute to lengthen my cycle.
Second, I switched to Nature's Own Men and Women Kit. I think it messed up with my cycle as it contains some herb that's probably crossing out vitex. But I stopped taking it. DH only managed to take few tablets as his stomach appear to get very sensitive with zinc (or zinc sulfate). Will go back to Blackmores Conceive Well.
Third, I was taking Prednisolone last cycle, this time I'm not.
Fourth, I add Royal Jelly to my supplement for egg quality.
Fifth, I didn't take Acidophilus that probably helped to balance the acidity of CM in the previous cycle.
Symptoms I have like cramps was very similar to last time around the same time, but the cramps felt more like AF when it due today. And this time, I'm experiencing something different than last cycle. I have been having really thick yellow creamy and sometimes gummy cm.
My mood was ok, but I was more anxious waiting for ovulation and learning about my own cm, and DH's sperms. I didn't chart when I started AF which helps to reduce the stress.
I'm not having my hopes up, but will be more than happy if we conceive this month. Hopefully we succeed to conceive in Ramadhan when we feel most spiritual.
Anyway, still waiting for AF to come so we can start over. This time with Pre-seed!
