That's exactly what an LP is! Hopefully your wait isn't took long.

I wish I had long cycles due to something but they just seem to be there. I've never been on BC or anything. Hopefully my doctor will be able to sort them out

that's amazing I hope I get such a positive result from taking agnus castus, this is my first month trying it!

as far as I've seen on this site and other websites there are plenty of things you can try so I would be very hopeful

I'm just dtd as much as possible to cover ovulation as I don't chart, but it's tiring x

That's my approach this month, at least every second day I'm going for. it's hard because it kind of feels like there is no end in sight, it would be good to have a guideline but after my temping disaster last month I'm determined to stay au naturale!

have you had any signs that ovulation might be near?

So although we're currently NTNP until January/February, I thought I'd post here as I'm still charting cycles and we're not really NOT trying either. =)

doesn't matter if you're TTC or WTT or NTNP or whatever, you're still welcome in the thread

how long so far? hope you O soon, are you temping too?

I haven't tried OPKs, I would end up spending a fortune on them because my cycles are so long

got my fingers crossed for you that's its not that long this time!

sorry everyone for thr multiple posts, I'm on my phone so can't do multiquote

hi and welcome to everyone who has posted, so happy to talk to people in similiar situations

Hey ladies..

I was just wondering if I could join?

My first cycle off birth control was like 120+ days. So I would definitely say that is a really long cycle!


BTW:


HELLO HELENA!

Hey gals,
Would love to join you all. I range from 29-42 days and am currently on cd38....hoping for AF or a BFP sooooon. I am NOT a patient person.
Has anyone else found that since TTC, your cycles have gotten longer? I had four months of 31 days or less and then last month was 36 days and now...who knows! Frustrating but happy to have others here who understand.

welcome tryinfor1 and dalem

120 days is so long, you must have been going out of your mind are you on to your second cycle now?

I'm so impatient too dalem, but the weird thing is I am getting less impatient as time goes on! don't know how that works but I think I feel better now because I have a bit more knowledge and I am trying to keep myself as busy as possible. I didn't keep track of my cycles before so have no idea if mine have been getting longer since TTC.
strange to think that in a non-TTC world we are the lucky ones with fewer periods
