To test or not!?!

Question

Doing a poll because they usually get better responses.
So I have an 11 day luteal phase I know from OPKs from past months. I typically ovulate CD 15-18. I have taken a break the past 2 cycles from OPKs to try and reduce stress. I am at CD 31 now and had cramps, backache, and EWCM CD 17&18. I have absolutely none of my usual PMS signs and dont feel like it's coming at all. 
So if it were you would you test?

Answer

Depending on your usual cycle length you should wait at least 14 days after ovulation for most accurate results . I would just take CD 18 as your supposed peak and count from there ! That maybe to long to wait if you're dying to test though. I waited 19 days after my ovulation date to be sure of getting an accurate result !Best of luck.

Answer

If your luteal phase is only 11 days, it may warrant a chat with your doctor who can prescribe progesterone to lengthen it. The issue with a shorter luteal phase is if you implant around 9 DPO (which is most common) or later, the pregnancy hormones may not build up enough to tell your body not to have a period and can keep you from getting pregnant. 11 isn’t the shortest luteal phase I’ve heard of but to maximize your chances, you want one around 14 days, and it’s a super easy fix with medical help.
