Long cyclers we re the last ones standing in the tww and we re not taking it anymore guzzle down your grapefruit juice and pop those b6 pills..short cycle we re coming for you!

Aw sorry to hear that.

Im ok, just so frustraiting to have to wait so long between cycles.

If we were every 28 days it would be so much more manageable.

Iv just ordered 200 opks!

Are you going to gp about your cycles this or is it for investigations into fertility?

I'm 27 tinyradish so plenty of time really. It's just difficult when you're ready you want it right away even if it's not logical.
A bit annoyed with myself, forgot to put my ovusense in last night so it'll throw my chart off again.

Very very sad aph. Your time will come soon!

I'm 29, how about you? Not sure yet, gp didn't want to get too involved & is leaving it to the experts so will see in a few weeks what the plan is. Just counting down the days....

Thank you tinyradish it hit me harder than I expected it to. I was so ready to be pregnant and I only managed 5 weeks. But it can't be helped and all I can do is try again, so I'm full of all the supplements I can think of to help my body and we'll see what happens next. Shorter cycles would be the best thing ever.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?
It's good they've started the tests for you. Are they going to give you anything to induce your period?

Hi ladies.

I posted a while back, sorry for disappearing.

Can i rejoin?

Cd2 after a 48 day cycle.

I went to gp yesterday to see if there was anything she could do to regulate and shorten my cycles. But no, all options involve hormones so no good for ttc.

So so sorry about your miscarriage - can only imagine how heartbreaking that must be.

You're right - you know you're ovulating & can get pregnant. & you're doing all the right things to get there so you WILL get there :)

I had blood tests then an internal scan which confirmed pcos which had already been indicated from the blood test results, plus they found a dermoid cyst that needs to be removed. I'm lucky that I've been referred so quickly but it's because of all these things & the fact I'm not ovulating at all so they said they'd get the ball rolling now.

They might suggest losing weight but hopefully they will help in other ways too & at the very least do the basic tests.

3rd attempt at this post. Stupid internet connection.
CD31 right now. I've been using ovusense to track my temp and opks. Once I worked out my average cycle length I was able to track ovulation and did get my BFP last month. That ended in an early miscarriage but I at least know I'm ovulating and can get pregnant now.
I've not been to the gp yet about cycle length because I'm overweight and I know they'll tell me to lose weight first.

Have you had any blood tests done yet or are they done at the fertility clinic?

What CD are you aph?

Only 9 months here too but with such long cycles knew something was wrong so went to the GP pretty quickly & luckily had someone who listened so can't complain really. Don't know what happens next though.

81 is very long & completely understand how fustrating it is!

No positive opks yet and I've been doing 3 or 4 a day.
Wow tinyradish 104 days? How long have your cycles been like that? My longest was 81 and that drove me crazy. I don't have a diagnosis of anything so far but I've only been trying 9 months.

Hey long cyclers, another long cycler here (CD104) how's everyone doing?

Just been diagnosed with pcos & awaiting apt at fertility clinic. Anyone else with pcos? I know that's one of the main reasons people can have long/irregular cycles.

Haven't backread all the way, sorry, but best of luck with your gp apt @thisisyourfx18 is it your first apt?

Sorry to hear that @Aph413 Did you get a positive opk before that rise? It's so annoying isn't it. I think my body gears up to ov several times in my cycle but doesn't follow through.

Haha sorry I'd reported it to mumsnet as soon as I posted to change it to aph so I didn't confuse anyone. It took ages for them to get back to me though lol.

Back to fertility. Temperatures haven't increased at all so I'm pretty sure that was a false ovulation date. Keeping on with my opks though to try and catch it again

Sorry lol. Just me

Also name change fail much. I meant to post using Aph 😅. Made a name change for a rant and didn't change it back. So if doityourselfnexttime reappears just remember it's me and I can't do technology

Well done @thisisouryrfx18 for taking the step and booking it. It's better the devil you know than the devil you don't. Will keep my 🤞🏻for you

Well done thisis it's hard but it's a good step to take. We're all behind you

Thanks @thisisouryrfx18 you too! Yes a bfp for one of us would give us all some hope!

@Aph413 sorry to hear that, it's so frustrating isn't it. I get exactly that, temp goes up, I even get positive opks then it plummets the next day. So annoying.

I'm not convinced this ovulation date is correct anymore. My temperature is dropping like crazy again.
This is ridiculously frustrating, I wish I had a holiday closer than December. I need a break.
