For the last 8 months I have had a 50 day cycle. I'm not sure when or if I have been ovulating. We have been TTC for the last couple of months. I'm 8 days late. I have taken 3 pregnancy tests in the last week that are negative. Seems as tho i might be having implantation bleeding...not sure what to do??? Has anyone had problems like this?

I've had long and irregular cycles for the past couple of years. When my cycles were 45-60 days long, I was ovulating.. but when they went longer than that I don't think I was. I highly suggest watching your mucus closely, and once you notice a change in that, start using OPKs to tell you for sure if you're ovulating. That is how I knew each cycle. Also, since you've been having 50 day cycles, you should be ovulating around CD 36. Most women ovulate 14 days before their period starts.
I had a miscarriage in March, but the cycle I got pregnant would have been a 42 (I think) day cycle, so my cycle lengths were coming down. Then 7 weeks after my miscarriage I got my period, and now I'm in the TWW with a 30/31 day long cycle! Losing some weight has helped me a lot with my cycle lengths, but I'm not sure if that would help you. I also took some EPO this cycle, and I think that played a huge role in shortening my cycle lengths.
As for the implantation bleeding, I'm not sure. Just wait a couple of days and then test.

Thanks, its so weird im always regular with my period...so to be 8 days late is confusing. I'm waiting to see a gynacologist that my doctor referred me to. She said most likely the will start me on clomid

To all these ladies: were your cycles always long and irregular, or did they become like that after birth control pills or giving birth? I always had a regular 33 day cycle before going on BCP for 3 years. Now I've only had 2 periods since going off the pill 6 months ago...

Hi Ladies! I also have very long cycles. I was on BCP for over 10 years and took it continuously to stop my periods for 6 years because I have endometriosis. I have been off the pill for a year now and we have been TTC since. My first cycle of the pill was 36 days, then they have progressively gotten longer, up to 72 days. I just did my first round of clomid 50 mg, I am on cd 37 and about 4 dpo. So needless to say the 50 mgs didn't work for me. I will try 100 mg next cycle if I don't get a BFP this cycle. Not very optimistic, we may have missed the window this cycle. All in all it's been a frustrating battle with the cycles being so long and they are never the same length!!
my cycles before BCP were regular 28-30 days. I was on the pill for approx 7 years with stopping it a couple times for a couple months each time. Since being off...my cycles are regular, but they are 49-51 days. I'm not sure if iam ovulating each time. I havnt done any tests to see yet.
