Long irregular cycle vent

So after waiting 52 days for AF after my m/c, I am now on CD 22. I thought I O'd on Monday, but now I have EWCM again. I don't chart so I can't confirm O and my cycles have always been long, but given that this is our first month TTC after our m/c, this is driving me crazy. To add insult to injury, I have a 16 day LP, so I try not to test until 17 days post O (or when I think O is!).

I think the worst thing isn't that every cycle is a total mystery, but that each cycle recently has lasted something like six weeks so every cycle I don't get PG takes forever! I so envy women who at least get to try every month! Being 37 I just feel time slipping away...

    I'm going through the same thing and are so frustrated! It took 47 days for AF to come back after the m/c and I'm now on day 34 Im usually every 28 days I hate this!!! I O'ed so late (at least I think I did). Im really ready for a bfp or at least a regular cycle!!!

    Left HugBIG HUGSRight Hug  Sorry your cycles are so annoying ... mine are very irregular, I know it sucks!  Yeah, I wouldn't ever be able to wait till day 17, good for you for being so patient.

    I'm really sorry you are frustrated. I had a long cycle post D&C too. I think I may ovulate today or tomorrow, but it has taken forever. ?Have you considered charting before? I'm such a control freak that it has helped me gain some sense of control with my irregular cycles. Best of luck to you!

    I'm sorry...I know what you are going through. It took me 45 days post D&E to get AF, and then I just got her again today after a 35 day annovulatory cycle. I'm hoping my body gets back to normal this time around! I highly recommend charting next time around, as it takes the guessing out of the whole thing. GL!!

    Have you been diagnosed with something?  Like PCOS? 

    I'm 30, but felt the same way with time slipping by.  After my 1st m/c I mentioned my annoying long cycles and she was pretty quick to give me Clomid.  I did 3 cycles.  They went from 50 ish days to 35, 33 and what would have been 32 if I hadn't gotten a BFP (then miscarried).

    I am now at an RE who has officially diagnosed me with a hybrid version of  PCOS...not totally typical PCOS, but enough to confirm a hybrid.

     I don't know, but maybe see what your doctor recommends!  GL

    Thanks for all your responses. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

    I haven't been diagnosed with anything, and in fact have twice gotten PG on cycle #2 of trying, which doesn't mean there isn't something to diagnose, but does give me hope that there isn't something wrong. If it does keep up, I will definitely talk to the doctor about it (Of course I am switching doctors after my m/c, and haven't actually found someone new. - my other current frustration.)

    I do think about charting and I know it would give me more information. I am afraid it will make me more obsessive, not less. Also, my sleep cycles are always messed up since we have a 19-month-old who is still waking up in the night. But it might be worth a shot.

    Good luck to all of you who share in this problem.
