I've also had stressful periods of time when my cycles would easily go up to 45-50 days. Taking Charge of Your Fertility has a great chapter on understanding how stress, travel, other factors can impact when you body ovulates each month, which then determines the length of that cycle. You should check it out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-286080 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 10:40:18 +0000 blackbird 286080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycles were really long and it turned out i wasn't ovulating. I would be 3-4 weeks late before I'd finally start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-285971 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:59:58 +0000 LuLu Mom 285971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had the oppsoite problem and my cycles were super short for no reason (20-22 days) and they were worried I wasn't ovulating, but we got pregnant first try so I wouldn't worry about length as long as they think you are Oing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-285959 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:56:01 +0000 tororojo 285959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine have always been super irregular--like between 30 and 50 is not unusual. In fact, it's kind of why I am pregnant now--my LMP was May 6 and we conceived around June 11. We were charting and just assumed that we had missed my O date, so we pulled the goalie. But instead...surprise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-285952 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:54:08 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 285952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since coming off BCP about 6 months ago mine have been 34-35 days. I *think* I ovulate, but we aren't TTC so I'm not taking any tests or anything.</p> <p>I'm not sure why mine is so long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-285951 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:53:54 +0000 MamaMoose 285951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my good friends was like this. She tried to go off BCP for a while but her cycles were just so long and unpredictable that she went back on. When she came off BCP to start TTC it was taking forever for her to get her period again so she went to see the doc... turns out she got preggers on the first try! So you certainly can get pregnant without intervention even with really long cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-285934 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 09:49:17 +0000 Alivoo01 285934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycles are 34 days, and I've never been on BCP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-285287 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:24:54 +0000 chibee 285287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my fourth cycle off bc and my cycles have gotten longer with each cycle. The were 29, 32 and i am just coming off of a 39 day cycle, for no apparent reason. Last cycle was mt first cycle ttc and i think the stress of it was what made me ovulate late. Im hoping this cycle is shorter... Stress really has such an effect on your body. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-285281 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 21:19:34 +0000 duckduckkristen 285281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cycles were 2-3 months for almost a year, then magically went down to about 30 days right before TTC. No idea why. Got pregnant on the third cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-285180 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:41:48 +0000 PurplePumps 285180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was like this before I went on BC. My cycles ranged anywhere from 5-9 weeks, with 11 weeks being the longest. I told my doctor about it and she didn't seem concerned, she just said that stress and any number of factors could effect it. It's been about 2 years on BC and I'm about to stop (tomorrow is my last pill!) to start TTC, so I have no idea how whack my cycle will be now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/long-cycles-for-no-real-reason-how-long#post-285135 Thu, 06 Sep 2012 20:27:50 +0000 Muggle Born 285135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am on Day 47 of my cycle. Not pregnant. No PCOS. Just had blood work done, it's all normal. I'm not really stressed either. My doctor prescribed Provera to induce my period and hopefully get back on track. My last cycle was 48 days (before that, 38, 35, and 21, all since I went off BC in January).</p> <p>Anyway, just wondering if there are any other long cycle gals out there, with no real reason behind the cause. How long is your cycle? </p>
