Can I just share my frustration with you guys? I've got wonky cycles, but this is just ridiculous.
I'm at CD28 and there's no O in sight. Here's my chart, if you feel like checking it out.

Anyone care to commiserate? Who else has super long, frustrating cycles?

Oh, I feel your pain. Mine will be 30 days long, then 37, then 35, then 42. Once, it went to 67. I've also found that it seems to follow a yearly pattern. So I'll have 4 or so decent 30-something day cycles and then I'll have a 49 day cycle. Your cycles might be doing the same thing. You had a horribly long one March 2011 too. Oodles of sympathy from me!

@Grace: Thanks! Its driving me insane, but at least I know I'm not the odd one out, haha...there are other people who have long cycles too!

Yuppers! I figure the silver lining is that I find the TWW to be a cakewalk compared to waiting to O.

Bleh. That really sucks. I thought 32 day cycles were long.

i'm at CD41 with no O yet! i feel your pain. been off BCP since end of july and it seems i'm still normalizing.... i've searched FF for charts and i've found pregnancy charts with O at CD50 and up. so i'm clinging to that. but yeah, waiting to O for over two weeks sucks.

I'm on CD 40 and I finally O'd yesterday! Its only my second cycle off BC, so I know I'm still regulating. Last cycle was 44 days (O'd on CD 35), so I've only had one period and I've been off BC since the end of January. Its ridiculous!
Hope you O soon!!

Thanks ladies. I've been off BCP since January of 2011, so I know its not the hormones. Hopefully things move it along quickly. We're on RE-regulated every-other-day BDing...and its getting exhausting lol.

@redsmarties: Any day now, I'll bet. It looks like you geared up a few times and I read somewhere, that often if your body gears up and then doesn't O, that it takes ~7 days for it to try again. Plus, you just had sone good CM and maybe, just maybe, today's temp dip is an ovulation dip? Keep hope!

Two more days of low temps. Two more days without ovulation. Its CD30 now and I'm super annoyed. But I'm sure its coming. Hubs and I are getting exhausted.

My cycles were really long after getting off the pill too. It got to be pretty annoying after temping and OPK-ing 25 days in a row with no O in sight. I ended up ovulating on day 31 and got pregnant though, so don't give up hope! Just keep at it

@redsmarties: Oh my gosh you must be exhausted!!! With my most recent cycle (BFP) I didn't O until CD28 and I thought that I was going to O (based on OPKs...liars!!!) around CD13. We did at least EOD, multiple times a few days in a row and we were so ready to rest after I finally O'd!!
Also, I know that you usually O pretty late (not this late though!) and I saw you post somewhere else that you just started taking B complex. It's known to delay O, I wonder if that could be it?
