Coming off of BC, I had some long and jacked up cycles for several months to a year. However, lately my cycles have been more "normal". FF gave me CHs on CD14 (no OPK that day) and then took them away when my temp took a nosedive. We were at DH's parent's house last weekend and this weekend and they keep their house colder than we do, so I don't know what to think. After FF took away the CHs I started doing OPKs again. I was just wondering what you gals with long cycles do? How many days do you do OPKs and what day do you start. I know alot of you are doing IUI and IVF, but if there is anyone out there still trying the old fashioned way with OPKs that can help?
I was really hoping this cycle would be predictable so if we don't get lucky it won't screw up the BCP and IVF timetable. Ugh.
Re: Long cycle gals?
If you get fertile CM I would start testing whenever you have some. It would help to cut costs a little that way.
