Does anyone on here have really long cycles?

My cycle fluctuates between 32 to 36 days and I think get all the pregnancy symptoms b4 I start! Sickness, tiredness, sore boobs! Its sooo frustrating! I think my body knows that we are trying for a baby and loves playing tricks on me!
Can you get pregnant when u have a long cycle? Any advice would be sooo grateful! xxxx

Celticflower1, you really don't need to worry. It might seem like it, but 32-36 days is not a really long cycle. 32 days is just 4 days over the average. My cycles can be up to 65 days, and others have longer. As long as you're ovulating your cycle length doesn't matter.

Hi SBB Thank u!! I have gone as far as 45 and 60 days in a cycle too! Just seems forever when ur waiting for things to happen! x

 

[SBB]

I know, it's so frustrating! To only have one cycle in the time others have 2 is really annoying!

If you're cycles are irregular there could be a problem?

How long have you been TTC?

 

[Leanne27]

I'm the same...I came off BC in Oct and my cycles have been somewhere between 17 days and about 40 days!! Its annoying as they had recently started to go back to about 29 days...then I got to day 35 and no AF so thought I may have a BFP... but no...just my body playing tricks on me also

About a year now. I haven't used any conception in about 2 years. I have endometriosis too which I know doesnt help! That alone makes me feel so frustrated cause my PMT can be really bad! Im possibly looking to go down the alt therapy route as the doctors have been so crap! They did scan me and do a day 21 a few months back which came back normal! I don't understand!
Im going this sat to them to get a referral!
Im sure it will all work out but getting a little fed up waiting! Esp when everyone around me seems to get preg so easily! xx

 

[SBB]

I know how you feel. I may have endo too... My PMT is awful!

I've been having Acupuncture this cycle, not yet sure if it's made a difference...

You could try EPO - it's meant to help with PMT. I took it this cycle (you can only take it up to ovulation)... I obviously haven't had AF yet but I think I've been a little calmer than usual, I'm normally a psycho for a good few days before AF!

Also Soya Isoflavones can help regulate your cycles and get you ovulating earlier - maybe read up on that?

Ah bloody hormones eh? im sure my body loves playing tricks on me! It is soo frustrating! Its so hard to monitor when u are gonna ovulate too! Hopefully yours will settle soon xx

Yeh the acupunture is weird, I can't see how a few pokes with needles can help - but I'm open to anything! The lady says she can sort out bleeding and long cycle issues etc so you never know! But I think if I have PCOS and or Endo it may not be as simple as that!

Yep I'm TTC, since Aug 2009 so about 7 months...But only on my 4th cycle in that time!

I have read loads of research on it and they say it can help! Its amazing how these women know! Did u get your doctor to refer you or have u gone private? Keep me updated on how u get on!
My last scan showed I had PCO on one of my ovaries but they were very small! Like it didnt have enough wrong! lol!
I just wanna go to regulate and sort out the pain! and Maybe kick the right hormones up the bum! xxxxx

 

[SBB]

I just went Private - I'm not sure GPs approve of Acu or would refer you - I never tried!

I had a scan that showed something too, but my docs have been so crap they haven't explained it. I have to go back on CD1 for bloods to confirm so I'll ask then. They may put me on Clomid so I can ovulate quicker...

Would be great to be regular, I'd kill for a 28 day cycle!! And no pain would be a bonus!

[celticflower1]

Tell me about it! It would be sooo nice! Normal and no pain.. My idea of heaven!
The Royal London Hospital in London have a Homepathic clinic that does all of that and I can just get a referral from a doc! The question is will they give me one!(Im not leaving without it!) If not I will go private.
Ah the hospital were ok when I was scanned, they actually didnt seem too concerned but im just waiting for my other half to have some tests and then we can go from there!
My friend is on clomid now, think is she on her second cycle of it but I know they first lot made her ovulate which is fab!
Hope they give u all the answers. It was so frustrating all the waiting around esp when they need to do blood tests and my body wanted to play silly buggers!But im sure u will get what u need soon! xxx

 

[SBB]

Thanks hun, good luck to you too - I'm sure they will refer you which is great then it's free !!

Let me know how you get on too x x x

Hi,
My cycles are on average 35 days.

Just wanted to ask a question to those of you who have cycles which are even longer, how can you know when you are going to OV?

I have PCO also and so am not 100% sure that I even Ov each month. I have read that you can have positive OPK's but this does not mean that you are actually ovulating. I just wondered if you have cycles that vary in length each month, how can you predict when you are likely to OV? (as temping shows when you did)

 

[Tierney]

hi my cycles are usually around 45 days, ive started soy this cycle to try to reduce them.

pinkflamingo - you should chart your temp in the morning in conjunction with checking your cervix and cm these will all tell you (hopefully) when you ovulate along with the positive opks, good luck.

Im gonna look into taking this soy too! Defo chart your temp and signs and maybe invest in a Fertility monitor? I do the sticks but I have a habit of forgetting to do them! Good luck xx
