Long cycles like this are totally normal and while it may be more difficult for you to get pregnant within a specific time frame (just because your cycles are so long) you shouldn't have more trouble than most in getting pregnant. FAM is really easy and very interesting! You can use software online for free at tcoyf.com or fertilityfriend.com and all you have to do is take your temperature every morning when you wake up. You could also use Ovulation Predictor kits (can get test strips fairly cheaply on amazon) if you want to know if you're ovulating. Other signs of ovulation include: a full feeling in your bladder (almost like it's sore) for a couple of days, clear discharge from your cervix, cervix moving down and feeling soft (like your lip) and with a noticeable dimple or hole in the middle of it... You really don't need a Pap Smear and the insertion could be very uncomfortable for you.
