TTC after 35

CD1........Finally!!!!!!

I have never been so happy to see my period. I was at CD37, normally have 22 day cycles.
I knew right away I was not pg because we only had sex once last month and I took hpt 16 days after sex and got a negative. I may have tested once or twice more just in case(so not like me).

Any hoo, woke up to AF this morning and did a little happy dance. Only thing is now I don't know if my cycle will go back to 22 days or be long like the last one. I stopped temping/using opk's a long time ago so have no idea when O will be this month. That's a big deal because my husband is only good for a few rolls in the hay a month and I have to time wisely.
Well I guess it really doesn't matter since even when I time it perfectly it doesn't seem to do me any good.

This was really just a bent post but if anyone else has had an unusually long cycle was the next one back to normal or longer.

Re: CD1........Finally!!!!!!

  • Glad AF came back to visit. Vent away!
    I don't have much experience but every once and awhile I get a wonky long cycle. It definitely coordinates if I o late but no rhyme or reason. Just enough to mess with our next cycle 'schedule'. We are so not spontaneous.

  • Yay for CD1! If I was one PC I would post some happy dances for you :)

    I have no experience with longer cycles so I can't help there. I will keep my FX that your body gets back on track with your normal cycles!
    I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

    *** Child/pregnancy mentioned ***

    When I was trying for my first, I had a 56 day cycle (I was temping and using OPKs so I knew I had randomly ovulated on CD43).  The following cycle went back to normal - and I got pregnant that cycle.  I took Clomid, but I ovulated on my normal day (CD19) so I don't think the Clomid impacted that part.  Good luck @hooligans4!  I'm glad AF finally came!!!

    Edit: Child/pregnancy warning added.

  • Yay! Glad you can start fresh :) I randomly get long cycles a couple times a year, last one was before I was temping, but I feel like stress and travel seem to screw up my cycle for some reason sometimes. Then, I just go back to "normal."

    Woohoo! I hope your cycle is normal this month. My cycles used to be clockwork (27-28 days) but after AF returning post-kidlette #1 my cycle is anywhere from 22-28 days. It is so frustrating to have variations in length. Why are our bodies so unpredictable as well as uncooperative? Annoying.

  • Yah for CD 1.  I don't have long cycles, but mine average between 29-35 days depending on when I ovulate.  Not sure why there is a difference from month to month.

  • Congrats CD1 is finally here!
  • Glad CD1 showed up for you.  I had a unusually long cycle this time also. It was awful kept testing negative and just had to wait.  Hoping your first new year cycle is good for you :)
  • yay!!!! I know it sounds weird to be happy you got AF, but I know how much you were waiting for it. While I'm sad that this wasn't your lucky cycle, I have high hopes that this year will be your year :D

  • Well so far this cycle is horrible. I'm bleeding like a stuck pig (sorry tmi). I normally have very light bleeding for 2 maybe 3 days. I have bled more since yesterday then I have in the last 6 months combined.
    I hope this is my body just gearing up for a BFP.

    Yeah, me too lol

  • Glad it finally made it if it wasn't going to be a BFP... now, if your Aunt happened to see mine on the way to visit maybe she could tell her to hurry along and keep her visits prompt unless she is going to send the  BFP... 
    me:41   dh:43 
    Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 
    11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 
    12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 
    01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

    Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

  • @vh2014 I can't even imagine what you are going through. Mine was only 2 weeks late. I can't imagine the months you've been waiting.
    I really like the idea if you not getting her back because you get your BFP in the meantime.
    But if my bitch sees your bitch I will send back to your ute.

    Maybe it is a cleansing for fresh new start and BFP FX.
