My cycles are getting worse each month

[291]

Ive gone from cycles 26 days long to now 35-38 days long.
10 day lp last was only 6 days.
Bleeding from 5 days to 2.5 days.
Ovulation from cd 8-10 to cd 19 to cd 32
On cd 20 right now and still no temp surge, no increase in cm, its like a sahara in there.

Trying so many things like maca root, epo, b6 vitamin, folic acid, vitex, vitamin c, acupuncture, chinese herbs, opks, temping ....

Im getting depressed. No one but dh to talk to and have specialist apt next month but not at all excited at the concept of it

You'll get there Hun. Maybe ask for clomid when you see the specialist and ask what other options ou have. Gl xx

I'm sorry all this is getting you down 291. I'm having some issues with my cycle as well, not the same as yours but things I believe are making it not happen for us or at least contributing to it. It's really tough I know; I certainly cry my fair share of tears and then some. Hopefully the appointment will bring some clarity for you. Hard to think that far ahead though I'm sure with everything feeling so low.

Oh 291, I feel your pain

I went through a very similar thing while trying to conceive #1. I had cycles that started out being 30 days and in the end, stretched out to 65 days I found the stress of it really tough. And of course, people would tell me not to stress because that would make it harder to get pregnant. But you can't stop worrying about your wonky cycles just because people tell you to!

To make matters worse I had two miscarriages and so doctors didn't want to put me on Clomid because of the increased risk of twins (because the risk of miscarriage goes up with twins). But in the end, after 4 years of ttc, I put my foot down and demanded Clomid! Best thing I ever did. Within 3 months I had my BFP and now I have my rainbow baby. So if you are ready for #2, and you feel like the is something off about your cycles, I would definitely talk to your FS about Clomid.

Fx that your BFP is just around the corner.

you need lots of hugs 291, I'm sorry to hear about your cycle problems, and I understand it when your cycle problems can get you down. Mine do all the time and its hard having only the DH to talk to about these things cause no one else really understands the heartbreak that comes along with it. But I know you will find out what is going on at your appt. next month, and that you will have baby number 2. As hard as it is to keep your chin up just know you have these amazing ladies on this site to help you through, and try to keep smiling, I know it's hard believe me I know. But all will work out in the end, it always does, even when it seems darkest. Much love and good thoughts going to you today to help you not feel depressed. and if you need to talk I have an inbox feel free to message me.

I know exactly what your going through. I came off bc over a year ago and all of last year my cycles were 27 days, but this year they have been getting longer after each month that goes by. I'm at 35 days at the moment and no AF. My April cycle was 33 days. The only thing I can put it down too that I have changed this year is that I've started taking Maca powder, royal jelly and last month I started taking Vitex. So I'm thinking that maybe its all these things having an influence on our hormones? I'm thinking about giving up on the Vitex and see how that goes. Don't think your alone, it happens to a lot of us out there and for some strange reason it happens after deciding that you want to ttc which is such a pain! Hugs and GL in your journey!
