Hey
Just after a bit of advice really, me&
my partner have been TTC for baby number 2 since December but I’ve noticed that since we’ve been TTC my periods have been a bit out of sorts, I never experienced this with my daughter who is 21 months!!
has anyone else experienced this? For example I had a period December January, missed February had one March and seem to be late for my April period.
I also track my ovulation with strips and I took one the other day and it was nearly as positive as the control line… I took a pregnancy test and negative!! Just a bit worried tbh!!

is this a sign I have PCOS? My periods have always been later than 27 days

Irregular periods can happen when trying to conceive. It doesn't necessarily mean PCOS, but if your cycles are often late, it's worth checking with a healthcare provider for clarity.

Do you know why it messes up your periods when trying to conceive?
my Cycles are every 33 days isn’t that not still in the ‘normal’ range?

Your 33-day cycle is actually within the normal range (21-35 days). When you're trying to conceive, stress or changes in hormones can sometimes mess with your cycle a bit. If your cycle stays irregular though, it's worth having a chat with your doctor just to be sure.

You’re not still breastfeeding are you, or recently stopped? That sent my cycles mad.

No not breastfeeding! Just trying to get my head around it, my cycles were fine until we started trying! Didn’t happen when trying for my first.

@chelseaaaaaxxxx ah never mind then! They can definitely just go weird for no reason, too 🫠
