I stopped my BC in the middle of november last year, i had the normal withdrawel bleed, then a period on 26th Dec, then nothing....until 26th Feb. I did ovulate in Feb i Ovulated 12th feb. ive been doing OPKS this month and some days i get a stronger line and then today just did one and very faint line, ive not had a positive tho this month.
Im just scaring myself, is this normal?? Am i going to get regular periods again (cant remember what they were like before been on pill years)
I get absolute agony with my periods aswell...
just really badly need some advice? If its normal then fine...but I am desparate for a baby and this is worrying me.
Rant over, help welcomed! xxx:shrug::nope:
 
Hi, I have been there (except when I came off BCP I never got my period back.) If you can, try to get your doctor to do a hormone blood test. In my case, my estrogen was very low and it was found I did not ovulate. I ended up seeing a fertility specialist to conceive DS... (hoping that its not the case this time around!) good luck!
 
Thankyou ! i will see if i get a period this month, if not then ill go to the docs...thanks and glad you got there in the end xxx:flower:
 
i wasnt on BCP, but after coming off my implant, I had no period for 6 months, then a 52 day cycle, then a 45 day cycle, then a 23 day cycle and a 21 day cycle. im now around CD 15 of my next cycle, and I do ovulate now (though I didnt in the long cycles) i just O around CD4, which is incredibly inconvenient as that's during AF lol, so i need to work on that

but! in my experience, it will come back - it just takes a while after BC, especially if you've been on it for a while :) the hormones need time to get back to normal.

if you're in the UK, your GP probably wont do a blood test to check hormone levels until you've been trying about a year. I just had my test last week and my hormones are normal :) but until then you may still have hormones left over from BCP etc, so you probably wont get an accurate result from a blood test, which is why they usually make you wait longer.

some people use agnus castus (vitex) to regulate their cycles. I found the cycle i stopped using it, i O'd for the first time :p though i dont know if its related! contemplating starting it up again to try delay my ovulation

good luck though :) hope it all regulates sooner for you

Can I ask what you FS did about your low estrogen? :flower:
