TTC with long cycles
So I just got off bc pill in Feb. My last period was the 13th of February. I have had nothing since. I have had maybe 4 days total- but not consecutavely of brown discharge or pink discharge but only when I wipe. I have had intermittent cramping, back ache, and sore bbs. Those usually only happen when I am PG. I have a 4 year old and soon to be 6 year old. I was on bc for about 4 years after my last son.
Anyone have any experience on ttc with a long cycle? My cycle is currently at a 56CD. I am trying to stay positive. My OB said that I would either get a BFP or my period eventually but at CD 56 how can that be possible? Lol! Thank you all in advance!!

I also have a long cycle and TTC. I got off birth control in November and since then I've had 3 periods, anywhere from 35 days to 55....hard to plan out a pregnancy with that! I finally got the smiley on my ovulation kit this month last week on CD21, so I am trying to stay positive hoping this is the month, but no symptoms yet! Have you considered trying Clomid? It is an option I an definitely looking into.

It is nice to know that I am not the only one! :) I would be willing to try Clomid or other things most definitely! However, my OB won't do anything much about my cycles until I am 6-12 months and still having the irregularity issue. Tomorrow it will be 2 months since my last AF. I always did hate AF anyway, but since we are actively ttc I just wish I had a starting point on which to base things again. Getting off the pill just totally jacked my cycle all up! Lol!
Thank you for your help and I wish you the best of luck in TTC! Hope you get your BFP soon!!!

I've heard other people say the same thing - that their docs won't give them anything until theyve been trying for a year. I think that's crazy. My doc left it totally up to me, she said if I'm ready, she will write me a prescription. I would say try a second opinion if you don't want to wait that long!
I wish you lots of luck in your baby making process :)

Was that your OB or a regular family doctor? Because I have considered going to my regular doctor who may be more likely to help me out with the issues I am having. I agree I don't think that I should (or anyone that wants to concieve) be told that I have to wait X amount of time before they will do anything about it. I guess I just don't see the purpose. They have all the power to help me but are unwilling for whatever reason.
