Yes, inconsistent cycle-er over here. For a while I thought I was holding steady at 35 days, which was already long, but all of a sudden, I had one that was 80+ days that came out of nowhere, followed by another that was 42 days.

It definitely helped that I started temping and charting in the middle of that crazy long cycle because once I saw the obvious temp shift, I knew that I was at least ovulating and that my LP was 11-12 days. I also started being able to differentiate my CM. I think that in a way, charting obsessively and knowing what my body was telling me made me relax because after that, my cycles got shorter and I was on track to have a 31-day when I found out I was pregnant. That was after 6/7 months but really only four cycles because of the wonky ones.

Good luck and I hope your cycles start cooperating with you!

@ladybee: I believe it happens anywhere from 12-36 hours after you get the +.
And your temps will def clue you into when it happened as well.

Not that there's no point to BD before bc his sperm will live in you , I forget for how long?? But having sex before means less build up of sperm. So that when you will/have O'd thee are less fishes swimming in there. I would think you want more fishes swimming when you will be O'ing. Anyway, just my opinion if its gotten to the point where your DH is not feeling it.
