RCC has given you some great advice. Like you I have extremely long cycles, and am currently on CD 58, and I ovulated 9 days ago. So it is definitely possible to still be ovulating even though you have a long cycle. The only reason i know for sure that I ovulated is from charting.
Check out the website Fertility Friend, it is a free site that teaches you how to chart your cycle, and detects when you have ovulated. All you need to do to chart is grab a digital thermometer, take your temp at the same time each morning before getting out of bed, and enter your data into FF. Its really that simple!
You might even think about seeing a GP to get some blood work done to check your hormone levels to check for Polycystic Ovaries, and to see if you have ovulated this month yet. There are fetility drugs which can help you to ovulate such as Clomid. Like RCC mentioned, there are also alternatives such as natropaths and Traditional Chinese Medicine Drs who can assist you with shortening cycles. I myself go to a TCM Dr for acupuncture and herbal treatments which i find works for me (this is currenlty my second cycle after going 7 months with no period!).
Hope this helps some, and looking forward to seeing your BFP soon
Hi guys, Thank you so so much for all your comments and information.
I have got an appointment with a specialist where I have had day 3 & day 21 bloods done. apparently from just looking on the net the ranges look quite good. but when I mentioned to gp she just said anythin after a 35day cycle, you will not be ovulating. I was quite taken back from this as I was sure that people still can ovulate on irregular and long periods and she just threw me and as you can imagine upset me immensley thinking I will not be able to concieve.
There was a cancellation at the clinic and today they brought my app forward from 28th may to 28th April
All the comments and suggestions on accupuncture and clomid I am so grateful for as i now know there are solutions out there. Wow I think I lived in the dark ages until I 1st became pregnant, then since the misscarriage it's like some hormone has kicked in where its all I think aboout and want. but im trying to keep a cool the best I can.
Its such a relief to know that its possible to ovulate on longer cycles and I will definately go look on the website you have suggested and take my temperature and record this to pinpoint my ovulation day.
Thank you my spirits are lifted and hopes are as high as ever! fingers crossed for all TTC xxx
