Hello ladies..... I got off BC in July 2011 and if I wouldve know it was going to take this long to get a regular cycle (Im still not regular) I woulve gone off BC a long time ago. I pretty much dont have a cycle - just random spotting here and there.... its really frustrating.

Yup if I had known it would take me 10 months to have a period after coming off BCP I would have gone off it 10 months sooner!!

Reiver - I had mood swings of a sort with Clomid. I told DH that I wanted to scratch his eyes out. I figured if I told him what I wanted to do and get it out in the open it would make it better. He made it into a joke and diffused the situation. I have no idea why I was so mad I just was. Over all it wasn't too bad with the mood swings. DH might tell a different story though

Weirdest cycle ever!
Two times that it looked like I'd ovulated. One blood test confirming ovulation. FF saying I didn't ovulate... and then 11 days after I figured I had I got af. I'm just happy af is playing ball... it's been a long time coming... even if it was a 42 day cycle!

Hope everyone is well!

In the nicest possible way, I am so gutted to see another member of our growing gang. I think every lady here would agree with you - if we'd known how much our cycles would be messed up when we came off BC, we would probably have done thing differently.

Have you spoken to your GP about it? It's coming up for a year now, it would maybe worthwhile getting "in the system" to see if there's anything they can do to help.

That sounds like the best way to cope with the situation, my DH is pretty fabulous so I am tackling my mood swings the same way. Still waiting for my blood results to come back from the doc - it's been 22 days!!!!! Come on folks. Oh well, suppose I can't do anything but wait.

Are they getting shorter every time Reba? I'm so pleased you got a confirmed O - things are moving in the right direction for all of us.

All the best ladies!


PS - STRUTH are you out there? How you getting on chick?

I was so naiive when I came of BC thinking everything would just get back to normal. I came off it end of July 2011 and I'm only onto my second cycle. my first cycle was 203 days and only came as a result of taking meds. waiting on scan for further investigation

Struth is in her journal! I see you found her She's on maybe once a week now!

After having Provera to make af come I had a 72 day cycle then a 32 day cycle and then a 42 day one so I can't say they're necessarily getting shorter but they are finally happening!!! After no natural AF in 9 months I got AF as a new years present I was so happy I told my brother who happened to be over!

The Dr isn't quite happy with the progesterone levels she says they're still low but I'm hoping that over time with me actually ovulating the levels will get better and be in the range she wants.

The weight loss has certainly helped bring back af I'm quite happy and shall keep it up!

No Reba, but GP told me to expect it, bloods prior to last pregnancy said I wasn't ovulating but I must have done so at least once to be able to conceive our little angel. If these bloods say I'm not o'ing again, she's going to conclude my system is erratic and she will recommend me for clomid.

I wish I could say my weight loss was continuing. After the MC I ate my body weight in carbs and since then my committment has been shady. I have real issues around food and I just haven't conquered them this time. I've only just got back down the the weight I was when we conceived the last baby.

I just know if we do get referred the first thing they're going to say is to lose weight, I would love a head start on it. Ironic thing is the one thing that guarantees my weight loss is pregnancy - I can't keep any food down when I'm up the duff!!

Mrs. Reiver:

It's quite frustrating especially when everyone just tells you "oh relax" or "if you lose weight it will happen" it's really not that easy.
I get extremely frustrated when the same people tell me that losing weight will help with getting pregnant and then turn around and tell me that once piece of chocolate cake can't hurt my diet. They honestly have no idea how hard it is to lose weight and how hard I'm working. They've never been overweight obviously.

I totally understand

Amelia:

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
Hope today's luck brings ovulation for you!
