If you are having 80 day "cycles", it is possible that you are not, in fact having cycles at all. Most women have cycles of 24-40 days; much longer than that can indicate that you are not ovulating. It *certainly* indicates that you aren't ovulating *frequently*; whereas another woman may have 4-5 days out of 4 weeks when she is fertile, you have a *maximum* of 4-5 days out of *12* weeks!! Even if everything else is normal, you are fertile about 1/3 as often as most other women.
Please read _Taking Charge of Your Fertility_ by Toni Weschler to determine if you are, in fact, ovulating and having periods. If not, you will *definitely* need medical intervention to get pregnant (unless something changes).
Good luck!!

You should try and use birth control pills to help regulate your cycle, it may seem like funny advice considering the fact that you are trying to conceive,but the pills will regulate your cycle making it easier to predict your next period and when you are more likely to ovulate.I was on Depo and didn't have a period for 2 years and started on the pill to bring my period back and regulate and it did after about 4 months of taking the pill and not taking it for 1 month I became pregnant.And I have done this twice and each time it has worked effectively.And you are not suppose to get pregnant for at least a year after stopping Depo.GOOD LUCK

This is my standard answer......... go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive. My Doctor recommended it to me and after 1 year of trying I got the book. It worked the very next month. It turns out that my timing was wrong due to mis-information. I hope it helps you, too! It's not only about getting pregnant. It's about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don't listen the all the myths!

This is a sign that you are not ovualting at all. There is no such a thing as an 80 day cycle, there is obviously something wrong. Make an appointment with your doctor immediately and get treated.

I am also irregular...
I have PCOS and I would not had known that if I did not go to an infertility doctor. You really should go and don't waste anymore time. They might be able to help you out and you could be pregnant by the end of the summer.
Be encouraged

I have my share of irregular cycles and I have two beautiful boys, but I believe that every womans body is different and I hope that you do get pregnant soon, but go to your doctor just to get checked out and make sure everything is all right.

There is usually a reason for why there is such a long time between cycles. Your best bet would be to head to your ob/gyn and start finding out what that is about. Once they perform some basic tests, (mostly blood tests), they can determine the problem and help find a solution!
Good luck to you!

sounds frustrating. First determine if you are ovulating by charting your basal body temp and observing signs (fertile mucus similar to egg white, cervical changes). Your chances of conceiving are highest during fertile days around ovulation (which are usually about 14 days before menstruation begins). good luck!

You're probably not ovulating regularly. You should seek professional help - you might just need a nudge in the right direction with some chemicals.
