Late periods while TTC

Konda, It is not normal for your cycle to stretch to 35 days just because you are TTC. 35 days are however still at the outside edge of a normal cycle.

Your doctor will not consider infertility before you tried to conceive for at least a year. 85% on couples trying to get pregnant will be successful after 12 months.

A normal ovulation calendar does not help when this happens. You will have to use an ovulation detection kit or learn to determine your ovulation using basal body temperature (BBT), cervical mucus observation and cervical position. Normally you can use these things to determine ovulation using computer software, either on your own PC or on a web site. Search for "Fertility Awareness Method" (or FAM) on the interwebs.

Your only other option is to just have sex every 2 days. That can get pretty old very quickly and can become work, not fun if you do not watch out.

Best of luck with TTC!

Thankyou susan. So do you thing that it may take 12 months time to conceive. Because I'm so exited to conceive ASAP.

Konda, No, I am saying that in general, your doctor will not consider infertility before you have tried to make a baby for 12 months. It is not unnatural for it to take up to 12 months, but after that you should seek help again. After a year, only 16 out of every 100 couples will not be successful on their own. So keep on trying and keep it fun so that it does not become a chore for you and your partner.

Thanks susan

This has happen to me! I used to be regular as clockwork give or take a day. Have been TTC since Sept & last 3 periods have been late, the last being a week to the day late which was extremly frustrating. I am hoping its just my body trying to adjust! Fingers crossed x
