Long Irregular Cycles 'r' Us

[Little Miss B]

Hi All & big welcome to Stardancer!

I'm OVing today! Hurray! (well I am nearly sure I am)
I was convinced it was yesterday but my temp never rose this morning so reckon it might rise in the morning.
Have had pos OPK sunday and yesterday and last one in pack is going to be used today. I have twinges of O pain agian today.

I'm so proud that I didn't take FF word for it - it said I had ovulated on CD 13 but will all I've learned about my cycle I just knew FF was wrong.

Wish me luck in my 2nd ever 2WW! Yeay!

welcome to the club!!

I love your avatar, by the way!

Thanks! Thats the baby of the family, Chester. He's only a 18 months old. I live in a house full of cats!

What a cutie!!

Thanks and congrats on your pregnancy!

Aww, good luck Stardancer!

I've changed my FF. I posted here just over a week ago to say I'd finally gotten my AF ... that didn't last. Only 1 bleeding, lasted no more than 2 hours or so. Figured I can't really call it AF and would only be fooling myself ... so I'm back onto my old cycle now. I can only hope it will end soon. Asked for some advice before, once again got recommended to do a pregnancy test. I'll take another one tomorrow, though I'm convinced it's gonna be a BFN like the other 2 I over a week ago. Very jealous now of:

1. Those with young children
2. Those with bumps
3. Those with regular short cycles
4. My best friend through childhood who is now 8 weeks pregnant while she always told me she couldn't get pregnant =/

Can I join too? My cycles are not as long as some, so i can't complain too much!!! but I average at 42 days and I get fed up watching the 28 day-ers cruise on past me whilst I am still waiting for o!

Hi Loo

Hi Stardancer!

Am feeling a bit messed up this cycle, cos have had sore boobs since my last AF and been premenstrually moody!! even though I am not premenstrual! and don't think i've ov'd yet (CD 26) so am stealing myself up for one of my anovulatory cycles.

hormones? who'd have 'em eh?

 

[Stardancer]

Hormones are a nightmare! Sore boobs since AF seems very unfair!! my hormones seem to have settled down since I started metformin.. I tend to only get sore boobs in my LP. How long are your cycles normally? That might be a stupid question LOL. I've not been OV'ing until CD32 last 2 cycles, so maybe you'll still OV... are you temping?

Hi Girlies. Can I join you? My cycles are irregular and longish. I was pg beginning of May but, sadly by the end of May I had a m/c I am currently on CD34 of my 3rd cycle since my m/c. My 1st counting from day I started my m/c was 35 days and, my 2nd was 42days!!! They seem to be getting longer by a wk each cycle!!! I have done a test today and it was I will test again on Tuesday of doesn't show. I am also using FF for the 1st time this cycle and, my temps are all over the place!!! Have decided to start taking my temp now at 5am when my OH gets up for work so, we will see how that goes.

 

[Stardancer]

Good luck temping schmoo, it's not easy. I go to bed at 12 during the week, and about 3 on weekends, cos hubby is a drummer and gets in late. I've found temping when I wake up is most accurate, whenever that is... after my full night's sleep. Course, many a time I wake up and dash to the loo without thinking about it LOL. It's quite stressful, I think... but for me it's worth it to know I definitely OV'd, so I do it the best I can. FF is good at figuring it all out even when it's not obvious to us.

I never had sore boobs except when I got pregnant last time. The they started last LP and I got all excited and thought I was pg but it wasnt that! and now they are back!!

Normal cycle is probably about 42 days and thus Oving on day 28. I have temped but dont anymore as found it made me more obsessive. My CM is quite a good indicator, so I just use that and take it easy now!! I think O is on its way!

 

[shmoo75]

All my symptoms of OV have dissappeared since my m/c so, I don't have a clue at all and, as my temps have been up and done like a bloomin' yo-yo FF hasn't indicated that I have OV'd yet. It did say CD18 but then my temps dipped abit too low and FF took it away. No yet so who knows

 

[Stardancer]

Oooh good luck Loo! I've got an eternity to wait yet.. lol!

Shmoo, I looked at your chart... and yes, it is a bit all over maybe it's just taking a bit of calming down after your mc. Good luck sweetie xx

 

[Loo]

Hmmm Shmoo, I see what you mean about your chart. I've had a couple of anovulatory cycles since my mc. No mucus no nothing. And much shorter/longer than normal.

Maybe I had them before but just wasn't monitoring. Who knows?

Anyway, must be very frustrating for you?

Hi ladies, Do I qualify for your lovely group as well?
I came off BCP in March and my first cycle was CD81 and second CD56 and i'm currently CD34!

Congratulations to those who have their this month! I guess they're moving on to 1st Tri. is there space for little me to squeeze in here too!

 

[shmoo75]

The more the merrier I say Littlestar.

My temp dropped big time this am to 36.08 so, hopefully if is gonna appear fingers crossed it is tomorrow so, that means this cycle is 1wk shorter than my previous one. Have too look at a positive if AF arrives so it stops me getting too upset. This is so frustrating!!! At least my OH understands why I am charting my temps and has stopped telling that nature will let it happen!!! Here's to all of us getting or, getting down to a 28-30 day cycles so we can say we have a period a month before we get our

I'll keep everything crossed for you that the arrives and your cycle is shorter. Onto the next month!

hi everyone i will join you too not only are mine irregular but long as well well i say long but not as long as some of yours

mine range from 30-45 days and so far i am on cd43 i was so sure of a 35day cycle this month so in my mind i am late and been testing like bad - foolish me!

 

[Loo]

Hi All. I am getting confused this month....one minute think ov on way then think not gonna happen! Think I need to stop thinking too much!

Anyway, as I was reading through all the latest posts on here, I was thinking how wierd it all its - sometimes wishing AF never comes, then sometimes hoping it does so you can get cracking with the next month!! I never realised how barmy this whole TTC malarky would send me!

Do you think women through the ages have gone potty over pregnancy? Or is it a modern phenomen because we have technology (opks, tests etc) to look in to it more? Or am I getting a bit too deep and philosophical??! lol

 

[Stardancer]

I think ages ago, you just got on with it and hoped for the best!! My parents / grandparents think I'm obsessed with it, but I think when your cycles are all over, you have to give it more thought and planning or you'll never get pg!
