CD 30- 17DPO- Long Luteal Phase

Ashley

Hello ladies! 29 years old husband and I are on 11 months TTC #1!! My cycle is anywhere between 25-29 days. I had one cycle that was 31 days. My period lasts 4ish days with some spotting 3 days prior to AF (I actually wouldn't know the spotting was there though if I wasn't looking for it). My boobs also get really sore before AF. Today I'm on CD 30 16DPO. I have a longer luteal phase between 17-19 days. Confirmed OPK on October 21st. My boobs hurt like a week and a half ago but no longer hurt. So far no signs of AF, no spotting at all which is not Normal for me. I've had some lower abdominal cramping for the last day or 2 off and on which I also never get before AF. Period was "supposed" to start Saturday but like I said my period sometimes is all over. I'm going to take a pregnancy test later today probably but I have really been struggling the last few months and have gotten really depressed when AF shows up and have read somewhere that a longer luteal phase can sometimes delay a BFP. But then again I'm still learning all the TTC normals lol do you ladies know if that's true? Do my symptoms sound promising? I feel like the little witch always gives us new symptoms to hang on every month just to shut us down 😑
