long cycles support thread :) the yelping vaginas club! (closed group)

[mrsc81]

I'm fed up CD147, temps all over the place, no sign of AF, no sign of ovulation etc etc

I'm losing weight (slowly) which I hope will help but no change so far and I just feel like months are passing by and nothing is happening The way things are mean I have ZERO chance of anything happening and I'm growing more frustrated by the day.

What can I do to help myself?

Forgive me with the baby brain and all But cant remember, have you ever tried agnus castus? Or how about seeing your gp to get something to start af? You need to get this cycle over with!
Are you taking prenatal vits? I recommend pregnacare conception, it definately did something as i was getting bad pain in my ovaries.

 

[NewMrs2011]

I did try it a while back but didn't take it for long so perhaps I should try that. I'm seeing my doctor on 11 March so if nothings happened by then I will definitely ask her for something but I'm not sure all get it as her advice is always "lose weight"

I'm not taking any pre natal vits purely because I can't swallow tablets! Are they the kinda tablets that I'd be able to crush, as I may be able to take them then?

Thanks for the helpful advice as always

 

[mrsc81]

You should definately try something, and its wrong if your doc doesnt give you something, its not normal or healthy to go so long without af

 

[Rachel789]

Newmrs I believe there are gummy prenatels. I am horrible with swallowing pills too. I'm not sure what you have available where you are but my dr wrote me a prescription for a prenatel called taron-c dha and it is small and gel coated so its easy to take.

Rachel and NewMrs, I'll probably test Friday if AF hasn't shown. I just know if my temp is down by much tomorrow, though, then I won't have a very good chance of a BFP on Friday

NewMrs, my last cycle before this one was about as long as the one you're having so I know how you feel I hope you can get some provera or something to help end this horrible cycle. Your doc should definitely do something! As far as natural stuff for starting AF, I've heard a good bit of vitamin C and fresh parsley tea can bring on AF sometimesBut none of that ever worked for me, though Also, a while back I was reading that the Plan B One Step pill can kind of reset your cycle. I decided to try that once when I was desperate (after taking a test to make sure I wasn't preggo first) and AF started about 2 weeks later. But it could have just been coincidence...I don't know. Taking provera would be a much better choice if you can get it. Plus Plan B can possibly screw your cycle up more, but if you've already gone 147 days without one, then it probably won't mess it up that much moreAnyway, just my 2 cents. I hope something helps soon, hon

 

[Rachel789]

I am surprised your dr won't at least give you provera to bring on an af. It's actually not healthy to let your lining go a long time without shedding as in the long run it can increase the risk of uterine cancer I believe. I would demand your dr give you it or try to see a new dr if possible.

 

[NewMrs2011]

Thanks for all the helpful tips. I'll definitely try and get something from the doctor, hopefully she'll give me something but if not, I will make an appointment with a different one. If AF doesn't show by the time of my appointment I'll be on CD166 and that is just madness!

Since last Friday I've been feeling like it may be on it's way and on Monday morning when I went to the toilet first thing I had very faint blood on the tissue when I wiped and I thought that was it but it didn't come to anything, and my temps don't seem to suggest it's on its way either.

Oh and I really hope your temp stays up tomorrow bnp, it would be fab if you got your bfp this cycle! Good luck

NewMrs - I agree with everything the other ladies have said. I think enough is enough and your doctor should definitely give provera. Hopefully she'll do more than that to help you out.

Bethany - Eeek! Temps looking great! I hope this is it for you! You feeling any symptoms?

And as for me I passed my glucose test! Phew! I had one number elevated but nothing that was worrisome. I haven't gotten the exact numbers yet but I'm glad they turned out not to be too bad. I may have to indulge in a few of those chocolate covered pretzels hubby gave me for Valentine's Day to celebrate.

 

[NewMrs2011]

Just been googling and it seems you can't get gummy pre natals in the UK however, Amazon are selling Vitafusion Prenatal Gummy Vitamins which come from America. I'm just a bit worried about buying this kinda thing off the internet though, especially as I've never heard of that brand. Do any of you American ladies know if it's a well known brand or one I should avoid?

Thanks

 

[NewMrs2011]

Great news you passed the test! You must be really relieved. Enjoy the pretzels!

 

[mrsc81]

Great news caroline!

 

[rmsh1]

Congrats Caroline, I passed mine too So my baby is just big, not diabetes-related
I may have celebrated with some sweets too

NewMrs, I am sorry I have no input for you, my cycles never went as long as yours, and mine were never regular when I got my BFP. I did not try anything drastic, as I wanted specialist help and did not want to stuff anything up more than it already was. I was close to trying agnus castus, but was putting it off til all my tests were done

 

[cmwilson]

Great news Bex! Glad to hear you're diabetes free! Yikes on the big lady you are growing!

 

[NewMrs2011]

Yeah that's my only concern, I don't want to do anything to make things even worse!

Congrats on passing your test too

 

[bnporter81]

Caroline, YAY!!So glad you passed! And yes, I think I've had a few symptoms, but I know how easy it is to have all the symptoms in the world and still get BFNsI've had some dull light cramping since 4-7 dpo and a little bit of light twinges of nausea here and there since yesterday. I've also been a little more tired lately, but then again I do have a 2 and 3 year old to wear me out

NewMrs, I've tried the Vitafusion gummy vitamins before and I really liked them! They have all types of gummy vitamins, too

 

[bnporter81]

Hi girls...I'm a little down this morning. I had more of a temp drop today to 98.1 so since my LP is usually 12 days I guess that means AF is on it's way soon. I'm not even going to bother to test tomorrow. What do you do when you're TTC and nothing you do is good enough?It all sucks.

 

[mrsc81]

Dont count yourself out yet bethany

 

[cmwilson]

I'm sorry for the dip Bethany but like Louise said don't count yourself out yet. Rachel had a dip right at the end of her LP the cycle she got her BFP and you never know maybe the Metformin has made you have a longer LP and today was just a normal dip. I'm still crossing my fingers for you.

 

[Rachel789]

Bex- yay for passing the test and to having gd that's great news!

Caroline- congrats on passing the test as well! I had one elevated number as well but not by much and I saw my dr Monday and he said all was well and I didn't have to change my diet

Bethany- I really wouldn't read too much into the dip. As Caroline said I had a big one around this same time and I 100% counted myself out but it didn't mean anything!

Newmrs- I know of that brand and I actually used to take the regular gummy multi vitamin of that brand it is a known and trusted brand here

 

[raventtc]

i got all my test results back today and not sure about them but the doctor just called and said I need to come in next week for a pap because she is worried about what she saw on my ultrasound...so i am offically freaking out and worried!! More tests in my future and also found out can't go to a fertility specialist since my insurance doesn't cover it at all..
