I've started Cycle 3 and was explaining to DH that since I have longer cycles, that the waiting time for us is longer than couples with women who have shorter cycles...
I'm pretty regular (36 days), but am wondering if having a longer cycle makes it harder for us to get pregnant?
Any pregnant or mama bees have longer cycles with no problems conceiving?

We got pregnant twice from May to Sept, and my cycles are LOOONG (45 days to 50 days on average, up to 65 days!). So, we got fewer chances to get pregnant (that was only 3 chances, and we got a BFP on 2 of them), but no problem with it. The BFP in Sept stuck, and now I'm 25 weeks, with a big, kicking boy.
Everyone's experience is different. Good luck! I hope you get your BFP soon.

I have 33 day cycles (I tend to ovulate on CD21) and we got our BFP after ten cycles of active TTC.
Generally speaking I don't think longer cycles make getting a BFP harder providing you don't have any other issues.

My cycles are not very regular yet (I am hoping they get back to being a bit more regular since my period just came back after DD a few months ago) but some are longer. I think it just means fewer chances to get pregnant, which is frustrating! My friend has a 37 day cycle & has babies 13 months apart though

My cycles are about 33-34 days. I asked my Ob/Gyn if that concerns her, she said no. She says as long as they are regular then it's fine. I haven't gotten pregnant yet but we have a feeling it's him and not me.

Mine are super long, usually 42 days minimum, but some have been 60 and even 100. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant We charted and it really helped us know exactly when to try and maximize our "fertile window," since we had fewer chances per year.

Mine has been long too. Ever since my D&C, they've been around 35 days. I thought they would get shorter, but they've stayed the same. I don't ever remember having cycles this long before. It just means you have less chances in a year compared to someone with a shorter cycle.

My cycles were also super long and irregular (up to 67 days long). But, I eventually started charting and figuring them out. I just had to look at fertility signs other than my cycle day. I got pregnant on my third cycle of charting, and am currently 9 weeks along!
Good luck to you! I hope you get your BFP soon!
