So I am like 4 days late and so now I am at a 33 day cycle and I think AF is knocking at my door. I used to be a 26 day cycle, last month was 30 and this month looks like it's gonna be a 34 day cycle. My doctor when I went should no concern in the legnth changing but it's bothering me because now I have NO idea what to do about O'ing. Grrr









Hi. I have a similar problem. My cycle length varies from about 29-34 days. Its extremely frustrating! My O date has ranged from day 15 to day 24. Last month it was day 23 the month prior, 15. Needless to say I started wasting the expensive digital opk's on day 13 which means I went through 2 BOXES of 30 dollar tests. Sweet. Anyway, my advice for you is to use the Answer brand opk's until you get what you think is a positive. Then use one of the digital opk's to back it up. Since there are 20 in a pack for the answer they are pretty cost effective. The digis are a bit more expensive. You could also invest in a fertility monitor. This cycle I am relying on CM and CP to decide when to bust out the digi opk.
Also, I wanted to say, so long as your LP is longer than 10 days and stays pretty consistent then there really is nothing wrong with your cycle according to the Dr's. The only thing wrong is that it is annoying and frustrating when TTC.
I totally feel your pain. Good luck this cycle with BD'ing!

Thanks so much! I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one with a crazy cycle! I did buy an Answer pack this month and I have a few extra digital ones. I am going to invest in a monitor I think next month, we'll see how this month goes.
I agree with using the digital to back up the other test. The digitals are too expensive to waste when you're 95% sure you're not Oing anyway, but if your cycle is unpredictable and you don't want to miss the boat, I'd use the Answer test and the digital to back it up. Good idea, I might do the same thing this cycle.
The temping is very good also, as long as you make sure you temp consistently, which is something i have to be much better about.
GL!!!
