Long Cycles TTC #1 & Need a buddy!

[fallenangel78]

My doc's were useless when I went during my epic cycle, all I got was "So, you've been off the pill for less than 12 months? That's normal then and it may take some time for your body to sort itself out."

I'd have liked to see her keep sane with a 70 day cycle, lol.

How are things looking today sunkissed?

 

[Sunkissed]

Katie I hope you figure it out. I also had a really weird cycle last summer. I think it was 83 days or something. They did an u/s but nothing. Some bloodwork and told me my progestrone was low and I wasn't Oing. Then I started temping with vitex and did O. Hopefully it's just one of those things but hopefully they can recommend something that works.

I'm hoping my temp goes up tomorrow. Still have sore BBs and light cramps every now and then. Cm is still creamy? Not really sure what to expect but I'm kinda over testing. It's annoying to get BFNs. Only if my temp goes up tomorrow will I test. If not I'll wait for AF and start vitex again.

Pretty sure I'm out this cycle too. But the last 2 days were the only days I have gotten a full nights sleep and wasn't woken up at 3/4 am. It's still well above coverline, but isn't looking good. I didn't expect much from this cycle anyways.. I didn't even expect to ovulate!

 

[Sunkissed]

I'm so confused. My temp went up a little today so I dunno. Af is due today but maybe tomorow. Just gotta wait it out.

Still looking good for you Sunkissed

If my temp stays the same, or goes up even a teeny bit tomorrow, FF will confirm that I ov'd when I thought I did - Sunday (cd47). And, as I discovered today that I had been incorrectly using my thermometer for the last 70 days, I fully expect that it will have gone up

Hi all,

Hope you dont mind me gatecrashing your thread again after being away so long . . . .

Firstly, i would just like to say a big congrats to all the BFP's and wish you all a happy and healthy 9 months!

Readyfor baby - i am so sorry to read about your miscarriage, cant imagine what you must be feeling right now xx

I finally saw AF on CD88! and currently on CD11 and am using OPK's but no positive yet am not really expecting to O for another 2 weeks due to my long cycles but will still test daily just incase!
Tested yesterday and today and only got the control line so will keep going! we are also trying to BD everyday too! My temps are a bit higher but nothing suggests O so its back to the waiting game, i just hope my cycle cuts itself atleast in half this time!!

I've also got my appointment for an abdominal scan on 14th Feb and hope there are no signs of PCOS, am even hoping there may be a little bean there by then!!

Hi Stacey

Wow!! 88 days!! That is epic. FX it's much more than halved this cycle

 

[Blondie87]

BTW, for those of you wondering, the chart I have overlaying my current chart is my BFP chart.

Sunkissed- Did you test today? If you click on my chart, as I said above, you can see my BFP chart overlaying my current chart. I had a dip the day I got my BFP (12 DPO) and it when up the next day.

 

[Sunkissed]

I looked blondie. I tested but pretty sure it was an evap. It's on the preg test gallery. I dunno I still feel out. Still no sign of AF but she could come tomorrow still.

Hello Ladies

Oh Readyforbaby I am really sorry I know the pain of loosing a baby and it doesn't matter how far one is, it is heartbreaking... so sorry.xx

 

[Blondie87]

I looked blondie. I tested but pretty sure it was an evap. It's on the preg test gallery. I dunno I still feel out. Still no sign of AF but she could come tomorrow still.

How's your cervix? Open at all?

Right now mine is still closed and kinda higher up, I'd say medium. Until it's super low and slightly open/open.. Your still in..

 

[Sunkissed]

I would say my cervix is med to high and I'm not good at telling if it's open or closed. I have af type cramps and backache pretty bad today and super bloated so must be coming. I'll just keep temping and waiting

 

[katiekittykat]

FX for you Sunkissed

My temp went down this morning - one of my lowest temps this cycle Have got a doctors appointment on Monday

 

[Sunkissed]

Dang blondie your chart is looking pretty!!!!

Katie! Oh my! I hope the docs can help! You are very patient!!

As for me. Feel like I'm on af but no show yet. Temp went down a little today. Don't wanna test until tomorrow. Or maybe I'll just wait until like 18 dpo. But I want to know eiher way. If not I'm gonna go have some cocktails before I move to Cali

 

[Blondie87]

Sunkissed- Well I temped this morning at 4 am, and my temp was 97.33, which mean it would have continued to go down. I had Bella go potty then put her in her crate and then went to the bathroom. I then woke up at my normal time at 7:30 am and temped and it was the temp I put in. Even though I had slept for a solid 3 hours, I said I was sleep deprived so it left it an open circle, cuz I am not sure if it's correct. I am expecting AF Saturday, but it may be later cuz I am taking B6 too, which can help lengthen your LP.

 

[fallenangel78]

Stacey, good grief, you must have been going insane!!! Here's hoping you have a much, much shorter cycle this time round Was it your doctor that referred you for the scan or have you been referred onto a specialist?

Sunkissed, Blondie - still looking good ladies

 

[staceyw10]

Evening all

Hope everybody is ok, im feeling a bit at the mo, have been testing for O for a few days now and feel like im gonna have to pee in pots forever

Sunkissed - FX this is your BFP month and who knows as this thread seems to have had a few so far, am sending lots of your way and hope doesnt get you! Congrats on the new job btw

Katie - hope all goes well at the docs on Monday but dont take any messing, tell them you want to see someone

Fallenangel - it was a complete nightmare if im honest, for the first 2 weeks it was late i had convinced myself i was preggo but as time went on, deep down i knew i wasnt After i had missed month 2 i went to the docs with the intention of getting provera which helps bring on but the doc i saw mainly deals with fertility and was concerned and so examined me (externally) and referred me for a scan to have a look for PCOS or anything else that may cause me to have 88 day cycles! I also had bloods done which all came back fine. I am technically overweight for my height but my blood pressure and everything else is all within healthy ranges so its a mystery

Am currently on weightwatchers to try and lose weight and see if it helps as a few people i've spoken to have lost weight and got their been going 2 weeks so far and have lost 5lb so FX i'll keep it up for a while before i get my own

to all xx

 

[fallenangel78]

Stacey, I had a 71 day cycle a while ago and that was bad enough. It sounds like you got a good doc which must have been a big relief. I was just met with a shrug and told you've come off the pill, it can take a while!

Did you have a confirmed ov last cycle?

Nice one losing 5lb, you should be proud of yourself, that's really good going

 

[Sunkissed]

Stacey that happened to me. Rather irriating when they found nothing wrong. I hope you can get some answers!!

Last cycle I took B6 but it seems my lp is later this cycle without it haha. I keep running to the bathroom cause I think af started and nothing! What's up with this??? It feels good to have willpower not to test today haha. Maybe il test tomorrow if af doesn't show.

 

[fallenangel78]

Sunkissed, I'm amazed you've managed to hold off testing!!
