Looooong cycles

[Cara89]

Hey Ladies,

Just did the math, I'm on CD 40, and I counted... my last cycle lasted 68 days!! Urgh. This makes TTC a bit difficult.

Does anyone else have super long cycles and want a buddy?

hey iM new to this but im there with you...
Since i came off the pill ive had major long cycles!!!!
59 days, 58days, 63days....
Now im on day 66 of this cycle... its so annoying....
il be ur buddy

Yay! Not on your long cycles, but on buddys! Haha

I used to get AF like, once or twice a year then I went on bcp's and since I've come off them my cycles are long, but not as long as they used to be, thankfully.

The part that I super dislike about super long cycles is that we don't get 12 shots at a bfp in a year, we get maybe 5-6

I see you're WTT... do you guys have a particular date set or time frame? DF and I decided on V-day that I was going to finish my pack of bcp's then we were on to TTC ! Been almost a year now though. Ick.

I also have extremely long cycles...I am like you I only have AF every few months making TTC and ovulation so unpredictable...very frustrating!!!!

I have been TTC for 11 months now...so here is to us hun and hopefuly BFP in the future!!!

That's always the worst part! Not knowing when O happens. I had something that might have been IB, but I don't know what to do now test wise. Do I wait a week and then test, or do I wait until cd 69 then test? Urgh.

Here is some to us and fx'd for a bfp!

Heya! My last cycle was 40, the one before that was 48 and before that, 42..... ovulation-finding is a minefield!!!!! Im 30 and ttc #1. I got my 1st ever smiley face on cd 16 this month so now Im even more confused... cd23 today..

 

[brooke28]

That is always the hardest part for me...do I test now? Is it too early?? Did I ovulate late??

With my daughter my cycles were so messed up I didn't find out I was pregnant until I was 9 weeks....because I simply just didn't know when to test!!!

 

[Cara89]

Haha. DF says that I should wait until CD 69, because then it's 1 day longer than my last cycle was... but that's still 21 days away! And with O'ving being so random, idk if it even happened yet since I don't track it. Although I did buy a BBT thermometer and if comes instead of a bfp then I'll definitely be temping.
