hi since i had my 3rd ds 10mths ago my cycles have been quite long which isnt that great when we ar wanting to ttc, I some how still manage to pick up on ov as i still get all the classic ov symptoms eg ewcm, ov pain, cx HOS etc and as I had those things the last day or so i did an opk and surprise its positive, but Im on CD37!!! for me atm this is a normal cycle I ov'd about CD40 a few cycles ago and then either CD29 last cycle or the spotting I had was not AF and it was more like CD70 lol.
I am trying to wait til AF is back to normal or atleast some what normal but Im so clucky even more wedding isnt enough for me to hold of just a few more months lol. ------------- Mummy to 4 boys Samuel - 18.6.05 Rory - 15.7.06 Mason - 13.06.08 Emmett - 24.01.10 Baby #5 - cooking |

Hey Rorylex - long cycles suck aye!
Mine were 45days and nothing i did would make them shorter.... i took vitex which is a herbal supplement that is meant to help regulate your cycle but that didnt seem to help and also accupunture but only went to that for 1 cycle and then i was pregnant... maybe both worked for me but i still conceived this bub on a 45day cycle. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

Yep it really sucks rorylex!! since my dd2 my cycles have been 50 plus days - the latest 63! I'm thinking of trying vitex this month to see if that helps... Like you though I have managed to conceive easily in the past with long cycles (although they only use to be about 45 days  )... ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

Rillamyrilla - I know! we're the same! do you use opks??
I went to the healthfood shop yesterday and got myself some vitex so I'm really hoping it helps shorten my cycle... the lady had very positive things to say about it but of course she was trying to sell something  ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

hey ladies
still waiting... though im finally 6dpo so af should show up in a week or so, though not at all would be good. I have my jar of vitex to start once af does turn up hopefully it does my cycle some good. how are u ladies getting on with ur cycles? ------------- Mummy to 4 boys Samuel - 18.6.05 Rory - 15.7.06 Mason - 13.06.08 Emmett - 24.01.10 Baby #5 - cooking |

My af finally arrived on CD63 (was so peed off as got bfp in the am and af in pm!) ... I'm on my 10th day of vitex and feeling a little nausea so hoping it's not the vitex?! so so hoping it helps shorten my cycle... will let ya know! ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

Must be have been very disconcerting having af when ya preggo babe!!! I wondered about that the and when af was over I did an hpt to be sure and was completely and utterly BFN... was a hideously bad af so have a feeling it was a real positive that didn't wanna stick! ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

oh sorry to hear that freckle, hopefully the vitex does some good for ur cycles.
I have a few days to go yet my last cycle where i ov'd on CD40 i got af 11DPO so anywhere from a few days to a week. I had a 13day latuel(sp) phase last cycle we just didnt bd in the time frame. I suppose each cycle being 2mths long just means an extra 2mths between mason and #4's age gap. I do find the bigger age gap between 2 and 3 a lot nicer then 1 and 2 which is 13mths but im too clucky to hold off. ------------- Mummy to 4 boys Samuel - 18.6.05 Rory - 15.7.06 Mason - 13.06.08 Emmett - 24.01.10 Baby #5 - cooking |

I thought I'd sign in on this thread... 52 days (and counting) sure counts as long to me!!! It's good to hear that BFP's do happen, though! -------------

Hi this is my first post but I have always had really long cycles. I started charting in the middle of this one because I got bored and wanted to see how it goes!!
Im up to day 30 and no signs of AF or O... so... we will see. |

| Hey dinolau yea I am up to day 37 and not sure if I have ovulated yet. what signs do you look for for ovulation? |
Posted By: dinolau
Date Posted: 13 May 2009 at 10:28am
| Wow well I just got AF! so apparently a 33 day cycle, quite excited about that! When I O I get sharp pains, but I am trying to see if I can detect it by taking temps. |

Hi Dinalau - how long are yours normally? that's sooo cool having a normal cycle!! So did ya not feel ov this time?
I'm on day 20 of my cycle and of vitex and have ewcm (had a couple of spots of blood in it) so maybe I'm oving early... I so so hope so... last time it was CD49 so CD 20 would be great!!! ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

mine are all over the show!! 60-120 days with everything in between. i know, I am so excited for my next cycle, really want to get my temping right for this one. I did feel O pains but didn't note on what day they were since I started temping around that time.
FX that you OVd!! are you temping? All other signs sound good though freckle! Hopefully my next cycle is good or else I will be looking into vitex hearing great things about it!! (currently suffering through massive period pain!! bring on O :D) -------------

Man that is damn long dinolau!!! I thought my 50 to 60ish cycles were long... it must be awfully frustrating for you.... did you do anything different this cycle? hopefully you don't need vitex!!
I'm not temping as I have a 16 month old who often hopes into bed with me and DP whose up between 4-6 every am so always have interupted sleeps
Poor you with the period pain... I never get period pain but when my cycles are longer they're normally pretty heavy which is horrid!! ------------- mum to 3 lovely girls :D |

Yes very frustrating. Well I just came off a cycle of estelle BCP to try and regulate my PCOS symptoms so Im thinking that it might have balanced my hormones also.
I'm also trying to eat very low GI so hopefully that is having some effect. I totally get how hard that must be.. DH is always waking me up - last night I told him if he wakes me he has to say "temperature" and it worked!! haha took it at some ungodly hour and then looked at it in the morning when I was awake :) -------------

hey ladies
as u can see by the ticker i got my bfp after a 50day cycles well i was cd50 when i got bfp. im still lurking in to see how how u are all doing. there is 23mths between rory and mason we started ttc when rory was nearly 5mths and we didnt get pregnant til he was 14mths he was still bfing which is why it took a while. this time i stopped bfing at 12wks and cycles were worse at least after rory they had some sort of parttern. I never did get to the bottle of vitex so again for another 9mths it has to go to waste not sure of the expiry date on it. will check it does any of u want it. if its still with in its dates lol. ------------- Mummy to 4 boys Samuel - 18.6.05 Rory - 15.7.06 Mason - 13.06.08 Emmett - 24.01.10 Baby #5 - cooking |
