I apologise if it offends anyone, I am just confused and a bit worried. I used to have 28 day periods then Dh and I started trying for our first baby in December. I got my period at the end of December and it was after 28 days as usual. In Jan my period started after a 32 day cycle, something that was new to me and I thought I was pregnant. In Feb it was again 32 days and again my hopes were dashed. March was the biggest piss take though, my period came after 35 days and after I thought I saw something on a pregnancy test 😢 We never had sex between the march period and the April one so I knew I couldn't be pregnant but I was still late! And by 8 days! So my periods have been getting later each month and this month it scaled back to 30 days! I am so confused. Can ttc mess up your cycles? I can't work out my fertile week at this rate 😢 Dh and I have naturally low sex drives and also both have some health problems we definitely couldn't just have sex every other day throughout the month.

Oh gosh that must be so confusing, and a horrible feeling when your period is late but arrives eventually.

Are you positive your cycles were so regular before? Did you track them?

I would suggest using opks and having sex when you see fertile cervical mucus. You shouldn't really guess your fertile week by dates alone, as you don't know your luteal phase length, particularly if you only plan on having sex as little as possible (which I totally get - I have a low sex drive and a toddler who doesn't sleep so I prefer to know when I "need" to have sex)
