i came off the pill 9 months ago in preparation for starting ttc this month. but had very long cycles ever since and was hoping by now it would have started to sort its self out but my last cycle was 91 days so started taking AC this cycle but FF said i ov'd CD12 so stopped and on CD27 today. but i dont think i have yet as im also doing ov sticks and haven't had a positive yet. had a few faint lines so thought they would get stronger but nothing.
Is there anything else i could be taking to help? i just want to know if im ovulating! thought this would be easy how wrong was i!
thanx for any advice that can be given

Hi chick - I also have quite irregular cycles - sometimes they're ok and are 38 - 40 days but sometimes they are 90+ days! It's so frustrating! I've been using ov sticks this month in the hope that I can pin point when I ovulate but I was unsuccessful and I'm now on CD32. So if AF arrives next week like she shouls I haven't ov'd this month! At least I have asome evidence if I need to go to the drs and ask for help!

I also tried AC a couple of months ago but I was so ill from it I don't think I took it long enough to get a result! I have no idea what else you can take to shorten or regulate cycles, but I do believe that there is something your dr can give you to make you bleed each month and also to ovulate each month - maybe a trip to your gp could be required?

yeah might give it another week or so then make a appointment. Can i ask have you been to the docs and what did they say?
thanx x

I have been to the docs. I've had bloodtests and a scan for PCOS which they ruled out and I now have an appointment with an endocrinologist at the back end of Jan. I'm not 100% sure what this visit will entail tbh, but from what I can see it's still something to do with hormones. I'm not sure what happens after that though!

Hey Hales, I don't think you can completely rely on ov sticks, it took me 3 months to catch ov on those yet FF detected my temp rise/ov every time.

hi Andipink. luckily only got the cheep ones so once they have gone might not bother just stick to temping. x
