Getting prepared

[Grizabella]

OK guys - DP has FINALLY agreed to start TTC#2 next year. I know I know... that's nearly 6 months away...:laughing: But I have noticed that my cycles are pretty irregular since having Brion. I started keeping track on my cycle in Dec last yr, and since then my cycle has gone like this: 34 days, 30, 32, 31, 29, 27, 33. Just irregular enough to be a pain in the butt!

So I was wondering if FF would be of any use to me. The thing is I checked it out, and I really don't want to be temp'ing everyday, and checking for ferning, or checking CM because I am not actively TTC at the moment. I just want to keep a general eye on things. I don't need to check when I am ovulating, I have textbook EWM once a month, so that's not an issue. I was also wondering if I should start taking some form of supplement to regulate my cycle before we start to TTC? Brion wasn't a planned baby, so I have no idea where to start....

Any ideas or suggestion would be awesome! I am just so paranoid that the next one won't be easy to conceive IYKWIM.

:wave: Hi Brion's mum. That's lovely that you have the go ahead for a secong bub. I'd say your cycles look regular to me. Most of the ladies here who are taking suppliments to regulate their irrgular cycles I think are talking about cycles more than 35 or 40 days in length. If you know when you O you're one better than most. Maybe you could just keep track of your O and AF on a calendar rather than using fertility friend.

So you think my cycle is ok? Awesome. I've just been getting paranoid. My cycle used to be 28 days on the dot. So I was worried something was going wrong... Thanks for your reply!

Hi Brion's mum.

Yep I reckon your cycles are pretty good, the doc told me last time I visited that anything up to 35 days is within the normal range. I think the reason a lot of us chart and temp and all that is so we can pin point when we O or where there might be an issue - and truth be known, I's a wee bit of a control freak so it gives me something to do. If you know when you O, like little fish says, just make notes on a calander or dairy and I'd reckon your good to go!

Good Luck for December!
