I'm the same way. Back when I was trying to get pregnant with my daughter (13 years ago) I was told I had PCOS. Now I'm told I don't. My bf and I started trying to conceive this October- I'm 40. My doctor put me on 100mg Clomid told us to abstain from sex days 9-11 and be sexually active days 12, 14 & 16. He then had my blood drawn on day 21 to see if my progesterone levels had gone up to show that I ovulated. I didn't so he upped the Clomid to 150mg and we tried again the next month after being given Provera to induce my period. I took my temp daily and checked my cervical mucus and cervical position. Your temp raises after ovulation. Again on day 21 they took my blood and said I had not ovulated. But I noticed my temp had risen on day 29, it stayed elevated. I waited a couple weeks took a test and it was positive! My temp had only gone up .5 of a degree but it was definitely a change in pattern. Watch your temp, etc...
Sorry for the long message. Good luck! :-)
I'd say your first step is to talk with your doctor. Make sure you don't have PCOS, a thyroid issue, diabetes or a hormonal imbalance. Getting any of those diagnosed and treated can make you not only healthier, but help you conceive and better ensure baby will be healthy. A 60 day period will make for an expensive route to just teat for ovulation.
ps i dont have pco or any conditions..just irregular periods..ive had hornone tesrs to check..i also know a lady with pcos and she has regular periods..so its not slways a case of anything being wrong..were just a bit different!
i have completely irregular periods too.i learnt when i was ovulating through pains i had and changes in discharge..but to conceive deffo use ovulation tests..i used the clearblue as they showed a smiley face when ovulating..the ones with lines confused me..it may cost a lot as ur cycles are longer but its worth it!i cant comment on the gender choice thing lol..also if ur irregular u last period wont be a way of calculating your due date so you should request an early dating scan..good luck :)
When I lost my baby girl last year, my bf and I started trying but I would have my period for months at a time. I found out I had an underactive thyroid and then I also found out I have PCOS. I am on thyroid meds and then I was on prevera and did one round of Clomid. They checked my blood to see if I ovulated, the blood work said I didn't ovulate so we started another round of provera and was to start a second round of Clomid. But I was already pregnant.
I just suggest you go see your doctor and maybe ask to be recommended to a specialist.
Good Luck and Many Prayers
Why not trying to use ovulation test. I would also recommend having sex every second day throughout the whole month, this will help increase your odds.On the days you are ovulating I would have sex every day. Also there is some research that says if you have an orgasm after ejaculation it can facilitate conception.
Iam the same way too I want a baby but aint got a clue as to when im ovulating
