My daughter literally wouldn't be here if I weren't charting because I O'd on CD42! We were DTD every other day for almost 3 weeks waiting to O. It was crazy but it totally worked. I remember stalking BFPs with Os on CD 30+ on FF. good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650237 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:53:05 +0000 sslm 650237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: you'll only test at cd21 if you had shorter cycles, otherwise it might just be that you haven't ovulated yet! My doctor had me test 7 days after I thought I ovulated. Just wanted to make sure that didn't confuse anyone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650152 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:26:13 +0000 LindsayInNY 650152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only in my second cycle post-BC but both have been long. The first cycle was 40 days but I didn't track anything except BD. The second cycle (currently) is on CD60. I'm fairly certain I O'ed on CD49 by OPK and temping. I only started temping mid-cycle though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650130 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:17:10 +0000 blackbird 650130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well i never got a positive on an OPK (even though I got physical symptoms I was) and my doctor took a blood test at day 21. Mine were really low--if your progesterone levels are under a certain value, you aren't ovulating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650104 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:10:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 650104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: how did you find out you weren't ovulating? That is kind of my fear.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650092 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:06:30 +0000 blackbird 650092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i was getting reeeeallly long cycles, but it turned out i wasn't ovulating, which was why my cycles were so long! Just something to keep in mind! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650084 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:04:38 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 650084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a long cycled girl (more like erratic cycled - sometimes 50-60 days, sometimes like 22), and it took us from January til September to get KO - I temped and checked CM, and basically took advantage of DH like every other day throughout any time I thought we could be close to the right time (not like he minded...). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650077 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:02:15 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 650077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: ahhhh! I wish I had signs like that!<br /> I haven't started charting because I still get up with DD at night and I don't know how accurate it would be.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650075 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 14:00:56 +0000 sslm 650075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I charted to confirm O, but I am lucky to get pretty clear physical signs of ovulation, like my boobs would hurt immediately after, and beforehand I'd get good ewcm plus I would be really horny!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650068 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:58:09 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 650068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sslm: how were you able to tell when you ovulated? Charting? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650064 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:57:31 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 650064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilteacherbee: congratulations!!! How crazy about the dates of your doctor appointment and BFP.</p> <p>@chibee: agree! We got pregnant with DD as a total surprise, but under strange circumstances. I had just come off the pill, had no sort of spotting or period (I went almost 90 days with no period) and all the sudden bam! I was pregnant.</p> <p>Needless to say I don't know much about this ttc business (although I am trying) and my long cycles are stressing me out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650063 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:57:23 +0000 sslm 650063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I can give you guys some hope! I had erratic and long cycles. I got pregnant after ovulating around day 30 on our first cycle trying. That resulted in a mc but I then got pregnant on our second cycle trying after that, and I ovulated around day 30-35! Long annoying cycles don't necessarily make it harder, just more annoying bc you get fewer opportunities to actually try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650046 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:53:36 +0000 chibee 650046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Thanks for posting this, I have very long cycles as well and it's frustrating to think about how us long-cycle people have less chances per year to conceive than normal people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650039 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:51:11 +0000 lilteacherbee 650039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have crazy long cycles. I would ovulate anywhere from day 30-40. It took us 3 cycles, but we miscarried. The second time it took us 5 more cycles (but 7 months). I am 5 weeks pregnant now and hoping this is really it! We started TTC last February. I had an appointment with my dr to talk about clomid on 3/08, but I got my BFP on 3/06!</p> <p>Good luck! It's really hard to deal with long, frustrating cycles, but it is possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-cycles-wereare-50-days-or-longer#post-650006 Mon, 18 Mar 2013 13:42:26 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 650006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long did it take you to conceive? Did you do it naturally?</p> <p>We have been TTC officially since January (though NTNP for longer) and I am just wondering how likely it is I will get KU with these crazy cycles. I have been using OPKs but so far no positives. I have been tracking CM but it is all over the place....sometimes EWCM three times in one cycle! I'm confused! </p>
