Yesterday? I almost broke that thermometer in two after reading the temperature value on it. And then today’s. Everything points towards ovulation: on day 34 or 35 of this cycle.

Nobody can tell me that THIS is normal. Another cycle wasted – of course there was no real “trying” involved this late into my cycle, 2 weeks after when ovulation SHOULD have happened.

I am so upset. Having such long cycles means those incredibly long waiting times, such few chances to actually conceive. Normal women can “try” every 4 weeks... take a pregnancy test every 4 weeks... that’s so reasonable and bearable... for me, every lost cycle means another 6 to 7 weeks of waiting. Make that 12 to 14 weeks, considering that apparently I do not ovulate each time.

I would totally appreciate this, would I not want another child right now. Having your period every 6 or 7 weeks? Sign me up! But wanting another baby... each week passes by like stretched gum. And my frustration levels are rising. It’s our fifth cycle now. It never took this long before.
