Long Irregular Cycles 'r' Us

[ALY0103]

BizyBee - I know - it would be nice to know one way or the other really.

I can't really blame BCP for my mixed up cycles as I haven't been on it for over 3 years - just decided to come off it one day and didn't refill the prescription. My cycles weren't that bad when I initially come of it - between 35 and 49 days each cycle with the odd 78 day cycle thrown in but have been progressively getting worse will the current cycle being off the charts!

The problem is that I have tried so many different things but their doesn't seem to be any rhymn or reason to any of it!

Lets hope the doctor can shed some light on it!

Am now trying grapefruit juice as I read somewhere that thats good - but it is absolutely disgusting (have to down it (like a big tequila shot!!!) and follow it with a glass of water but every little helps right!!!

What do Agnus Castus do ?

 

[drakey]

its a hormone balancer from what i have read it supposed to kick start your puitary gland to producing the LH hormone to rise which then once LH has rised it will then kick out an egg! so basically it helps u have more stable cycles and helps ovulation.... supposedly any way.... u can get them from holland and barrett online, £5 for 200 tabs xx

HI! I'm new and I have totally irregular and ******** cycles.

ranging from 26 days to 58 days... right now I'm on CD 19, and I actually got a :BFP: on my OPK this month around CD 16 (WOW) so who knows how long I get to wait before I can test!!! Sooooooooo annoying isn't it?

Yes, it is so frustrating at times. Welcome and congrats on the positive OPK!

 

[CocoDidi]

I'm going to join this group my cycles can be SHORT (24) or LONG (38 ).. so frustrating!! now i can relate to others like me

just to introduce.. i'm 26 and DH is 29. we've been together for 10 years. married for 1 year.. and have been ttc #1 for almost 5 months now. however.. every month is a diappointment :*( i'm just using the calendar method and BD-ing every other day during the estimated fertile period. it's somewhat tiring to do so. it's kinda like homework! So far.. I've always MISSED my ovulation day by 1 or 2 days because I keep getting record LONG or record SHORT. Last month, I decided to use OPK and still missed it because I travelled to Europe for a few days and i ovulated on the day we travelled. We were in the airport/airplane for about 18 hours.. and was tired before/after. I happened to ovulate THAT DAY... argh. This month.. i'm going to use OPK + Basal Body Temp + calendar. Am I sounding desperate? maybe so. everyone else seems to be getting pregnant or is due soon. All of them keep asking me when I'm going to have a kid. argh.

anyway.. sorry.. just gotta vent bc witch came unexpectedly early yesterday and i've been upset i'm going to go buy a thermometer tomorrow and learn to use fertilityfriend.com

Welcome Coco! Feel free to vent to us because we certainly know what you're going through. Sorry got you but hopefully the OPK and temping will help next cycle.

You're welcome! You said you haven't had AF since October? Have you seen the Dr. yet to discuss it?

 

[Erised]

Welcome to all the new people, as always I hope you won't have to stay too long and will get to move on to the magical First Tri soon =)

AF is still packing her bags, and she will leave soon ... just wish she'd hurry! She's been here for 20 days now, and is no longer welcome.
Used an OPK yesterday, just for giggles ... I was surprised to find quite a dark line, the darkest I've had so far. No way near as dark as the control line still, but hey ho. Tested again today just to see if maybe, just maybe my body would play nice ... but nah, a complete blank. Wonder why my levels were pretty high yesterday though.

Went to the estate agents today to hand in all the papers, she said she'll do the credit check and stuff online and will keep us updated. The landlord has already given his approval based on what we've told him, so hopefully the credit check will end up well and then all would look good for us! Hoping we'll have the answer before the weekend =)

HI yes I did go to the doctors but apart from the usual tests I have to wait untill a year, but I just dont have that sort of time left ..I am 40 now..

Bascially after long extented breastfeeding[3yrs to be exact]with my last boy, periods have stopped. The info I have read is it can take any were between 3-12 months..its so frustrating..
