Non Breastfeeding Women & Breastfeeding Women

According to Natural Fertility Info, " Luteal phase defect is estimated to affect 3-4% of women who have ‘unexplained infertility’, up to 63% of women who repeatedly miscarry and 6-10% of women who are fertile"(Rodriguez).  If you are a breastfeeding mom, this is very common among breastfeeding women that their first few cycles are not full fertility accompanied by a short luteal phase, so they do not become pregnant.

I must also add some women do catch the first egg while breastfeeding and / or have fertile and regular postpartum cycles right away. A woman who catches the first egg released before her postpartum menstrual can start does not know if her luteal phase is long enough (unless she is charting, knows she ovulates for certain and has a chemical pregnancy- which might indicate that her luteal phase is too short. Same can be true if she is charting, knows that she ovulated and goes pass 14-18 days pass ovulation without a period that she might be pregnant). However, one can assume if a woman who catches the first egg becomes pregnant and does not miscarry that her luteal phase was most likely normal or the minimum she needed  to become and stay pregnant. Another theory is a breastfeeding mom who takes natural supplements and a prenatal vitamin that contains B-complex or vitamin B6 and vitex or fertility drugs such as provera or clomid, are taking supplements that can help lengthen their luteal phases and are aiding their body to ovulate, thus giving them the minimum or normal luteal phase to become pregnant or have a regular cycle.

Implantation Dips & Raised BBT

An Implantation Dip is when your basal body temperature (BBT) dips below your cover line post ovulation, usually said to occur around 7 to 9 days pass ovulation on average and then continues to rise without falling below the cover line again. 3 to 5 days pass ovulation for implantation dips is said to be rare.  Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy.  Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant.   This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that  some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test (Blue Dye)

Clear Blue Plus Pregnancy Test  with Blue Dye (+ / - ) This is what a negative looks like: Side Note: Blue dyes are often said to more frequently give false positives than pink dye. Some online boards that will tweak (alter) a pregnancy test photo to help individuals identify if the test is a faint positive or indeed negative, often will not do blue dyes.
