Sorry for starting a new thread!
I'm confused about my cycle and would appreciate some help from others with a longer cycle. I have only just started taking notice of my cycle length, it used to be around 31ish days but now it's bang on 36. I also don't know much about when ovulation occurs with a longer cycle. With a long cycle do you ovulate later in your cycle or is it possible to ovulate early? I got AF on the 7th, so it's been 14 days.. I used the maybe baby microscope and it looks like I'm going into my fertile phase, I'm also get niggly pains which is possibly ovulation pains. I looked up on a ovulation calculator and it said ovulation would be about the 27th.. very confusing. I think what I'm trying to figure out is, does it sound right that I would ovulate at day 15, 16 , 17ish with a 36 day cycle? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Okay so if you have a 36 day cycle and your luteal phase is 14 days post ov
36-14=22 You would ov around cd 22 The easiest way to find out when you ovulate is to take opks which you can get off trade me ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/250ed1" rel="nofollow">  TTC#1 Jan 2009 |

Yep I'd say you'd ovulate about CD22. I had a 37 day cycle and ov'd on CD23 when I got pregnant with DD.
Just to be safe, in case you have a longer or shorter luteal phase, make sure you BD from CD17-18 up to CD26 or so (or more if you want  )
All the best! PS, just read that you're getting fertile signs already, maybe your cycle is changing to a shorter one now! In saying that, I always had EWCM for about 6 days before Ov... Maybe just BD every day for now to cover all your bases, lol! ------------- DD 4yrs DS 2yrs http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

Sorry total lurker - my periods were every 36 days and I went to a Chinese Doctor at the Natural Health Centre (never been to one before) - he gave me some natural pills and gave a me a back massage and my periods next month were 28 days and got pregnant straight away.
Cost of visit and pills was $60 so def worth a try for those of you TTC. Good luck! |

For a 36 day cycle "normal" ovulation would be anywhere from CD19-CD26 so I would agree with rachelsea and BD Between CD17 and CD26, every other day and more if you are up for it
I think you would get a clearer picture from charting than using OPK's personally as you can get a +ive opk without ovulating and some women never get +ive's but do ovulate... By temping everyday for a few cycles you will get a picture of when you "normally" ovulate which can help you get your timing right! It may be possible to get ferning on a microscope but not ovuate also.... as some women gear up to ov but dont and then it happens later in their cycle for whatever reason..... -------------

Just a note regarding BDing, most doctors I've spoken to and articles I've read advise BDing every other day (as opposed to every day), as you need to give your boy 48hours to replenish stocks (so to speak). ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  |

| I used to have longer cycles too, and would ovulate anywhere from day 14-22, "they" say you have a period 14 days after you ovulate but I didn't find that to be true. I charted my temp, cm, and used opks in order to pinpoint ovulation. Oh and (when he's home) DH & I bd-ed everyday & his "stocks" were obviously still sufficient! I did have him on a men's multi with added zinc though so maybe that helped! |

Yeah there are some specialists who say every day and others that say every other day so I say as much as you can be bothered to do LOL
"They" actually say for a "normal" cycle your period should come anywhere for 10 to 17 days after ovulation -------------
