I know there are women who have been trying much longer then me and I feel badly complaining, but I appreciate your good thoughts. I'm hoping cycle #8 is lucky for you!</p> <p>Yes, I've been doing acupuncture for a little over two months and I feel like it's helped tremendously. I hope it will continue helping to shorten my cycles. Thanks again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-with-longer-cycles-coming-off-bc-when-did-you-ovulate#post-91272 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 12:18:15 +0000 GreenThumb 91272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@arielle9510: I'm sorry and I totally feel your frustration even though I'm one of those women with a short cycle. For me it has been disappointment after disappointment each month for 7 cycles now (we are in our TWW on cycle #8). The whole TTC thing is tough when it is taking longer than you expect - whether you have only had a few tries at it, or many. I really wish you the best of luck in regulating soon! I thought I saw you mention you were doing acupuncture, right? I'm sure that will help get things on track! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-with-longer-cycles-coming-off-bc-when-did-you-ovulate#post-91183 Sat, 10 Mar 2012 10:05:10 +0000 arielle9510 91183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm just getting so frustrated with these long cycles. I hate waiting a whole month to ovulate while most women are already onto the next cycle. I'm trying to stay positive, and I know you can get pregnant during a long cycle, I'm just getting tired and angry that it's taking me so long to regulate! Sorry had to rant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-with-longer-cycles-coming-off-bc-when-did-you-ovulate#post-90293 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 09:48:58 +0000 mrsjyw 90293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First two cycles off BC I ovulated on CD 20/21. This past cycle I ovulated on CD 25/26. WONKY. SO MUCH FUN BEING A WOMAN, no? LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-with-longer-cycles-coming-off-bc-when-did-you-ovulate#post-90244 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 09:07:08 +0000 lilteacherbee 90244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm right there with you. First cycle off BC and I ovulated on CD 35 too. Currently 3DPO and it feels like its taking forever. I took my last pill on Jan 28th! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/those-with-longer-cycles-coming-off-bc-when-did-you-ovulate#post-90221 Fri, 09 Mar 2012 08:33:48 +0000 arielle9510 90221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm on CD26 of my second "official" cycle coming off BC (I've been off BC since October). Last cycle I o'd on CD35. I'm hoping that the longer I am off BC the shorter my cycles will get. I've also been doing acupuncture for a couple of months so I'm hoping that will help as well. </p> <p>For those ladies who had longer cycles coming off BC, by how many days did they shorten each cycle? And how much earlier did you ovulate? I started using OPKs last week but stopped after a while because I wasn't getting a positive. I'll probably pick up again in the next few days, but is it even possible to "o" a whole week earlier? </p> <p>I guess I was just hoping that I'd regulate faster. Thanks in advance for your help! </p>
