TTC baby #1 -Hoping to find some buddies :-) - Page 4

cj28 · Apr 10th, 2012, 02:59 AM

I had problems with my cycles after coming off bcp before having #1. Think my longest cycle was about 90 days which when you're ttc means a lot of wasted tests!! It took a year for them to start to settle and my first 'normal' 28 day cyle I had a chemical pregnancy then the cycle after that is now a 21 month old!

I never want back on the pill as I knew I wanted another baby and couldn't face it messing up my cycles again. So since stoppping breastfeeding at 9 months my cycles have settled into a suprisingly regular 28-30ish day pattern - although my body snuck in a 24day cycle to keep my on my toes a few months ago.

I hope your doc is helpful Hausfrau - I went to mine after about 8 months and he just told me to lose weight

not very helpful at all. I always think form reading threads on BnB that docs in canada/u.s seem more helpful than in the uk.

What an insensitive thing to say to you!

I'm 5'3 and 115 pounds so I'll worried he'll just tell me I'm normal and to wait it out.

This is my first appointment with him, so I'm trying to stay positive...

I will never ever use the pill again. I told DH I'd have 10 kids before taking it again! LOL

I can't take the pill again even if I wanted to. I got a DVT at 38 weeks pregnant last time and the hormones in most combined pills increase the risk of blood clots so I can't use them.

I hope your doctor is helpful

I can't use bcp anymore either because with the last brand of pills I was on before quitting, I got numbness and tingling in the extremities on one side, including half of my face. They took me in at the ER immediately 'cause they thought it was a stroke. Strong advice was NOT to use bcp again.

RCAFWife...OMG, BCP suck! What exactly did you have?

RCAFWife · Apr 10th, 2012, 17:22 PM

well I was on 3 different types of bcp that year, mainly to find the right fit. But the one that caused all the "stroke-like" symptoms was Yaz. Never again. One of my close friends stopped it too because it made her super depressed to the point of suicidal thoughts and her sister had to have her gallbladder removed because it pretty much exploded. I dont' know if you heard about the Yaz lawsuits/extreme symptoms, but the gallbladder issues were a major part of it.

No I hadn't heard of that. It is horrible!

Omg that is scary! I feel like a douche complaining about bcp - I had absolutly no side effects on them, it was just after stopping them

Did you ever find out what it was? Did you have a stroke?
