Long cycles driving me mad

[Loulou922]

Hi everyone,

I'm on month 3 of TTC. My cycles have always been irregular but the past 4 months they've been 28, 40, 42 and now on 47 and no sign of af but still bfn!

I'm finding it all so stressful, I feel like I could cope better if they were more regular but each month they are later so I get hopeful, feel like I have symptoms and then nothing.

Does anyone have any hopeful stories or words of wisdom, I feel like I'm losing my mind.

@Loulou922 that’s amazing news. Did you have any symptoms or just take it on the off chance?

I’m not sure when/if I’ve ovulated so still a waiting game.

Thank You!

@other89 I had sore boobs but only slightly. My temp was still up and just thought there was a chance. I think it was really early though when I took the test as I've felt more tired and nauseous since. xx

I had very irregular cycles. Turned out that I wasn’t ovulating. I saw the GP who checked my day 21 progesterone level which was very low. I was put on Clomifene which regulated my cycles. It took a few months but it worked and I got pregnant. It may be worth getting checked??

@Loulou922 I don't track temperature so not sure what is going on with that. How many weeks do you think you are?

@gillyflower9 I'm on day 53 of my cycle now so think it's time to see the doctor. No sigh of AF and no BFP either. I just can't deal with the irregularity of my periods. I don't know if I am coming or going!

I think you’re right- definitely time to see your GP and get help. Good luck!

I think I'm 4 weeks and 4 days which would mean I ovulated on day 42 of my cycle! However the midwife wants to go off the first date of my last period which is 3rd Dec which puts me at 8 weeks! Will probably end up having the 12 week scan at 8 weeks and that will tell me dates more accurately. Xx

Congratulations @Loulou922 fantastic news!
Just to let you all know I ovulated on CD33 in August and fell pregnant (sadly lost the baby) so I don't think long cycles impact conception.
I had a fertility appointment today and they want to give me 3 months then put me on Clomid to regulate my cycles.
If you've been trying for a year and have irregular cycles, I'd recommend trying to get a referral for a fertility specialist - now I've done this, I feel like I'm heading in the right direction and just have 3 months to wait now (with trying in between!)
Good luck all xx

Thank you and good luck to you too! Xx
