Thanks for the reassurance. I really needed that. Its good to hear that having long and irregular cycles does not necessarily lead to m/c.

I haven't tried out accupunture for regulation - too scared of needles. It's a nightmare even going to the doctor to have my blood taken...last time I had baby needles

I've purchased an OPK so I'll start using it this month (next week actually). I wasn't sure when I should start using it - do I go on the timing of last cycle (45 days) or to an average calculation for the past 3 months?
