Do longer cycles mean longer BFP wait time?

[JS5]

Sorry if this a stupid question. Do longer cycles have a bearing on the wait time for BFP, if conception happens that cycle?

E.g my cycles are 34/35 days long. Does this mean when I conceive my BFP will show more later, closer to AF?

Asking as I read a post suggesting a normal 28day cycle will show BFP around 8-10days, not sure how accurate this is

You generally ovulate 14 days before your period. So, in a 28 day cycle, you would ovulate on around day 14. If you have a 34 day cycle, you would potentially ovulate around day 20 of your cycle. As long as you have 10-14 days between ovulation and af (leutal phase) then you will be fine. Although the only way to know when you ovulate is to track your cycle.

I hope that helps x x

I have a longer cycle (around 33 days usually) I ovulate around cd20 so don’t get much of a two week wait as I’m pretty much always due my period by then! I got a positive this morning on CD34 (13dpo)

@BeckyPfromLeeds thanks for sharing. I may have posed my question incorrectly. My question is does having longer cycles mean one gets a BFP later rather than sooner? Ie the egg travels down slower meaning the implantation happens later than sooner.

@ttcbabyno1x congratulations🎉🎉 wishing you a healthy pregnancy. Were you getting BFPs before todays positive?

My last two cycles I had a 13days wait. I've read a few posts in which mums aren't so happy about the shorter tww. How does this impact/interfere with conception, as Ive read implantation will happen anywhere between 6-12days but mostly between 7-10dpo ?

No, the egg is not slower, it is just released later in the cycle. It still takes the same amount of time to travel down the fallopian tube to the uterus. It just means that instead of your cycle being split exactly into 2 halves, the first half (follicular phase) is a lot longer but second phase (leutal phase) should still be 10-14 days.

Once the egg has been fertilised, it takes the egg between 6-10 days to make its way to the uterus and implant into the lining. This is when the body starts producing hcg and when you should be able to start getting positives on a hot, providing that your hcg rises enough.

If the egg is not fertilised by the 14th day after it's released, this is when your period will start.

I hope that helps x x

No yesterday was the first positive! I did a test a couple of days ago and it was negative. Yeah I’m not sure how it works but I was worried about my shorter ovulation to next period phase. But it seems to be okay! Been trying 2 years and first hint of a line, not quite BFP but definitely there!
