Luteal phase defect or menopausal??
Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2017 9:00 am
Hello, I am 44 years old I do already have 5 children had no problems getting pregnant before (hope I don't come across as greedy), I did have 1 MC my very first pregnancy at around 7wks pregnant but went on to have 5 perfectly normal pregnancies after that my youngest is 10yrs old.
I have been TTC since October 2016 when I had my coil removed I had that in for about a year it was a plain copper coil no hormones, that was removed on Oct 14th my period then started on the 16th Oct 16(normal 5 day AF), I got a positive OPK around Cd16/17 near the end of Oct, my period then started on the 9th of November 5 days early (my cycles are usually 30 days) it was normal AF, I received another positive OPK around cd18 of that same month.
This led to me having a 46 day cycle it was pure stress during that as it was my first cycle ever to be so long, the day before AF started in Dec I did an OPK, strongest positive I ever received and AF arrived the next day on 25th Dec 2016 was again normal 5 day AF, this went on to having my shortest cycle length of just 17 days AF arriving on the 11th of Jan 2017, I started charting/temping from this cycle I had also used EPO this cycle 3000mg daily upto ovulation day I use fertility friend app to log my data.
I then ovulated on cd10 21st of Jan but no positive on OPK went with my chart and cm then on 9dpo I had strange bleed not normal for me at all was very very light only had to wear one pad for the two days it was dark red when I wiped but dark brown in my pad that began on the 30th of January 2017 finished on the 1st of February with a pinkish watery fluid that gushed out.
I then ovulated again around cd8-cd10 no positive OPK all been pure negatives since 19th of January 2017 , at 9dpo the strange spotting bleed started again which is today 17th of feb I am unsure what is changing in me I'm guessing menopause, is there anything I can do to help this?? Any advice at all would be greatly welcomed
