Anyone have really long cycles?

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

I'm on day 36 of my cycle and I believe I just ovulated like 3 days ago. Even after I ovulate my temp only goes up for like 2-3 days and then back down, but my period typically doesn't start until about a week later. WTH? Before my pregnancy, my cycles were consistently 30-31 days, now they're anywhere from 35-45. It's super annoying because I'll have like 10-15 days of fertility signs before I actually ovulate...and EWCM is pretty gross to deal with for that long.

I am still BFing 2x per day. Maybe that has something to do with it?  Any ideas/insights would be helpful. TIA!

    my cycles are really long... I wasn't temping, so I'm not sure what happened during a cycle. I just got a positive test 2 weeks ago, and conception dat was on day 41. I don't know if it was 2 cycles (without a period) or just a super long one... GL! Advice: just keep trying!

    Yup. 35 days is my average and I think I O really late in my cycle too.

    YES!!  Prebaby I was a consistant 30 days, sometimes 31 or 32 but rarely.  For a while after DD was born it went back to a normal 30 days but the last 6 months or so AF has been FUUUUUCKing with me.  Sometimes 30 days, sometimes 35, 36, or like last month nearly 40 days!  Which makes charting and TTC a little on the tricky side.  We just started trying this cycle and I started charting for the first time, but if I don't end up conceiving this time around I'm going to start taking my basal body temp every day.

    I had long cycles before getting pregnant the first time - I think my BFP cycle was over 40 days.  Are you saying your temps fall back below your coverline?  That suggests something is wonky - maybe you aren't ovulating, just gearing up for it?  Or it could be that nursing is throwing your temps off.

    Either way, long cycles aren't uncommon.  It might be that breastfeeding is causing it, or it might be just your new "normal."  It is definitely possible to get pregnant on long cycles though - although I agree, they are highly annoying!

    Thanks everyone! I am NOT currently TTC, so these long cycles make TTA tricky. I guess DH just needs to get used to using a condom just about everytime Tongue Tied
