Megan, there is no point in obsessing about your cycle. It is what it is. Either you are pregnant or you aren't. Trying to guess the future is just that... guessing. It doesn't matter what you guess, the reality will still be the same. Either you are or you are not. It's easy to get caught up in all the what if's, the she had that and I have that... and the maybe this month.. and trying not to get your hopes up. I hope that things do work for you, but know that God is always in control whether you are or you are not pregnant.

Seems like it isn't God's timing yet again as AF seems to be making her unwelcome visit.

Hi,
Sorry about getting AF. Just some hope, this Dr on Redbook is always saying that 3rd time is the charm for medicated trying. So heres to March! :)

Well, back to the waiting game! Ovulation happened a tad earlier then normal in my cycle, so hopefully I won't have to wait longer then another week and a half.
Ugh..I'm not patient when it comes to stuff like this.

Ok....I'm sooo glad this thread is here. I really can't count! The 28th day of my cycle is today and I have NO premenstral symptoms. 
I may have to go out for a test tonight....

Not sure...have not bought one yet. I have been feeling a bit crampy today. So, I'll wait a day or two more before testing to see if aunt flo comes.

I hear you on waiting another day or two just to make sure. For myself, I chart using BBT, so if my BBT drops (even with no other signs), I know AF is on the way.

Hi Ladies,
I had a question. My husband and I have started TTC this month.
I have always struggled with very irregular cycles. Very irregular. I have been off and on the pill before to get them going. Usually my doctor would put me on the pill for a little while, then take me off, I would be good for a while and then they would go back to being irregular.
My question is, does irregular periods seem to affect TTC? I know it is all about when you ovulate but didn't know if there seemed to be a link with irregular cycles and having trouble TTC.
Thanks for your thoughts! Fly

fly... the simple answer is... I don't know. There may be a link, depending on what causes your irregular cycles. If you only have 4 cycles a year, then you only (likely) ovulate 4 times a year. I suggest that you start charting, and see what your temps are like, and what you can determine from them. I like "Fertility Friend" online for charting. (others around here prefer other programs, but you can start with basic charting there for free, and it has lots of information for free)

Do you know why your cycles are irregular? Are you currently charting your cycles? A good book to look into is Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler for info about how to start charting.
You say that your cycles are irregular...do you have extra body weight, have trouble losing weight even if you're exercising, have ovarian cysts, have one to two cycles per year when not on birth control? Have you been to see a reproductive endocrinologist for your irregular cycles?

I am not sure why my cycles are irregular. I tend to internalize stress, so sometimes I think it is just stress related. My doctor doesn't seem to think it will be a problem, but I guess it is normal for us women to worry about such things. When I told her we wanted to start trying and she said, "oh it will happen!" I did go to an OBGYN a couple years ago and I told her my symptons and such and she didn't see it as a problem. I have always had cycles they are just never regular and sometimes have a hard time stopping. They tend to linger sometimes....not heavy, but very light.
I do have the book taking charge of your fertility. I have not been taking my temps, but I have been watching for fluid and such. I'll be honest sometimes it is just hard to tell:) I also bought an ovulation predictor kit and I am hopping that will give me a clue.
I do not have extra body weight. I am on the slim side.....but not thin enough that I wouldn't cycle because of that. I 23, so I know I am in a good age range.
Thank you for your thoughts.....it can be hard to break into forums where people seem to know each other so well.

I would start temping, then you know which part of your cycle is irregular and you can make sure that your luteal phase is at least 10 days long.

Thank you Artemis, thats encouraging. I am pretty sure I do ovulate...atleast sometimes, because sometimes mid-cycle I will get a low pain by my ovaries for about a half a day....sometimes it is pretty uncomfortable. Or maybe it is just gas. haha Anyway...
Can you start watching your temps mid cycle, like I am now? And can you use just a regular thermometer or just a regular digital one?
Oh...and I found ovulation predictors at the dollar store. Go figure....of course it is only one in a pack and who knows if they are any good!  Thanks! Fly

There is a reason I hate this time of the month.
