I'm Currently Feeling: | I'm stuck in irregular cycle hell, as i said in a another post my cycles range from 24-36 days so i never know when i'm ovulating other than going by cm, just getting my head round that, been trying since Sept 07 after coming off bcp for 11 years, can't remember AF before then. I keep changing my ticker monthly. If im not pg this mponth i at leats hope to get AF around 34 days so i can at least be regular. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | Irregular AF can make getting pregnant difficult as you cant pinpoint ovulation as easily.
There are things you can do to help, you can use okps which will tell you when you are about to ovulate. You can also chart, evn though this doesnt tell you when you ovulate untill afterwards you can pick out any patterns on the charts that happen just before ovulation (for me it would be a dip in temps) | | | | Status: Online

I'm Currently Feeling: | i bought some cheap opk this weekend, tested and wasn't ov'ing when i thought i was so expecting AF to come earlier than i thought. Sore nipples have arrived so think she;s on her way. I've started writing a little chart for myself with any symptons etc for the day so i can look back. Trying not to obsess over every little twinge but looking back i think i ov'ed around cd 14-16 rather than 21-22 which i should've according to last months cycle. | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think using opks is really the only good way to know when to BD and when you are Oing...since it can be completely different each cycle!
Remember, this will not stop us from getting our BFPs!!!!!!!!!!!!  | | | | Status: Offline
