Dear Pridu,
I been through the same. I mentioned while you got your periods last.

I can be 100% sure that we did not think of baby at all when Advait was conceived. Primarily because we wanted to enjoy life and have forgotten what relatives and family want from us.

I understand your extension of cycle, it happens when one get regular on sex activities, not a surprising.

If the cycles are regular then do as follows and see what happens.

No intercourse for first 10 days and start from CD11 until CD15. Avoid anymore intercourse thereafter until the cycle ends.

BBT is good idea and so is OPK, if you want use clear blue and start on CD8 and hopefully you will figure out all is OK on CD11 or CD12 for you.

Trust me, when ttc and little bit anxious on result the stress is there no matter how much you say I am not stressed.

Keep faith and no cry! People can take 1-2 years to conceive without any problems. No need to be little obsessed or stuborn on getting pregnant in short time. Hope you don't mind me coming this way.

Archie
