Re: another question...
When I got my cycles back after having DD, I went right back into a 28-29 day cycle. BUT- I wasn't Oing until CD20 (confirmed through temping)- which meant I had a very short luteal phase.

I had NO CLUE what that was either hon. But i did learn that mine was short too - last month was CRAZY short. It's fixable though....with B6 vitamins. I'm now taking my prenatal at night & then after lunch: 1 Balanced B-100 Complex & 1 B-6 vitamin.
Not only will it lengthen my LP - but also makes your pee LOVELY colors!

Re: another question...
Honestly- as much of a pain many people think it is- I would really recommend charting your temps. It's the only way you can confirm O- and it really gives wonderful insight as to what your body is doing.
Had I NOT been temping, I would have never realized my luteal phase was way too short to sustain a pregnancy without some help (I used progesterone). A healthy luteal phase should be at least 10 days or more (10 days is still a little short). Before my DD, my LP was 14 days, and I would always O on CD13/14.
I want to add: for some months, I would get a +OPK, but not O for a few extra days (so I had delayed ovulation). I know my body was out of wack due to previous birth and breastfeeding, so my hormones were likely off.
I totally understand your frustrations. I got pg with DD my first month trying, but #2 took more time. Each month was more painful than the next- especially considering how quickly it had happend the first time.

LP is the time between O and the first day of AF (of your next cycle). average range is 10-14 days.

yes - the balanced b-100 complex (i got them both at drugstore.com) has 100 mg of b6 and extra folic acid and other good stuff - which is why i went with that one. the b-6 one has 100mg of b6 as well.
my gurus on here suggested at least 200 mg of b6 - but you can't find a pill with that... I figure i'll start at the lowest dose and if that doesn't lenghten it enough - i'll increase it next month.

make a point of tracking once you get your positive OPK..how many days it is until your next AF (if it comes... ).
This will tell you if your LP is short!
