New to this-long cycles-normal to feel negative straight away?

[Plaw]

Hi

We have started trying this month, according to my app, I’m in the fertile window as of tomorrow. I have this gut feeling that it won’t work out. I have long and very irregular and long cycles so it’s very hard to know when I’m ovulating.

My last cycle was 45 days!!

I had a baby early last year and we weren’t trying as such, we just stopped using protection and 5 months into that, we got pregnant and I have a beautiful 18 month old little boy. I would probably wait a little longer to ttc, only for the fact I’m turning 35 soon and would prefer a smaller gap.

My cycles were a little better when I got pregnant in 2017. Cycles were not as long, only one of two were hitting 40 days that year, the rest were 31/32 days. I had lost a good bit of weight that year so I think that really helped my cycles. I have lost a stone now in the last couple of months hoping they will sort themselves out a bit more now.

Approx 10 years ago, my gp said my bloods shows signs of PCOS but I had some tests done last November and was ensured the hormones were fine.

Any advice to try and stay positive on this journey? I know I’m only starting out and may seem silly to be stressing already, I know some people have been trying for so long. But my cycles are so long and app stating I’m ovulating on day CD28 which is double the amount of days most people ovulate, so I’m worried my chances are very low.

@Plaw don't give up hope, long cycles don't mean you won't get pregnant and your only just starting out.
If your not sure when you ovulate I'd suggest getting some opks and test everyday for the next few months to give you an idea of when you are, don't count on the apps mine is never right and checking your cm is a big give away.
We are all in the same boat regardless of how long we've been at it, this is what the forums are for :) good luck xxx

Thanks so much @MrsSokhi
You’ve helped me relax a little, i guess I got a little overwhelmed!

@Plaw I was the same few months ago when we started trying and it's very easy to get your hopes up and over think.
My cycles were long when I first came off the pill in May and are only just going back to norm but I'm ovulating.
Don't be afraid to ask for support from these lovely ladies on here I've asked many questions xxx

You got pregnant within 6 months without “trying”. You’ve no reason to worry. Good luck
