I am new here and am hoping that this place will bring some support and ecouragment in this stressful, sad and frusterating process.
My husband and I have been trying to concieve since the beginning of April. Not sure if that constitutes us as "long term trying to concieve" however I have a feeling we will be waiting many more months before our BFP! I stopped taking my birth control pills and my period had not came for a few months so I decided I would try acupuncture. I went weekly for 3 months and decided to stop since I wasnt seeing any changes (except for the 60-90 bucks I was spending weekly on these visits) at my last visit I was give chinese herbs to take three times daily.
I also had been going to my doctor to discuss what was going on and was told that it was normal and I probably just needed to wait it out and my body would regulate itself. I kept getting told how "lucky" I was to not have my period which made me so angry because I definitely am not feeling lucky at all. At one appointment I had my blood drawn to test a lot of different things, all of which came back normal. I also scheduled an ultrasound appointment. a few days before my ultrasound appointment and a week after I had been taking those chinese herbs, my period came! I was so excited and so happy to not be "broken" I even canceled my ultrasound appointment!
Well, a few more months passed and my period went MIA again. I reschedule the ultrasound appointment and everything looked great, no cysts or anything to be worried about. I was reffered to an OBGYN and also prescribed Provera to take for 5 days. It has now been 7 days since my last provera pill and I have not bled yet... I did have horrible cramps last week one day and then two nights ago, I woke up in the middle of the night with such bad cramps that I was convinced I had started my period. Wrong.
I have my first appointment with my OBGYN this Friday so I am curious to see what the next step is. For anyone out there who has taken provera, did you bleed more then a week after taking your last pill?
I am hoping to find some support on these forums because I truly feel so alone and so broken. My husband is supportive but he does not understand a womens cycle and I really dont think he thinks that this could mean that there is something truly wrong with me. My worst fear is that i am not able to have kids and a close second being that I will have to see a ferility specialist and do something expensive in order to get pregnant which would then mean we would have to wait years before we could financially be ready to take that step. The only other person I have to talk to about this is my sister. She decided a few months after me that her and her husband were going to start trying. She is 3 months pregnant. We also have two family friends that started trying in August and are already pregnant. While I am genuinly happy for them, it is hard to not be sad and frusterated that it happened so quickly and so easily for them.
Sorry for the long and crazy ramble but it feels good to get this off my chest and to write it all down!

We all need to crazy ramble sometimes, it's okay! Unfortunately I have no experience in this matter but I am pretty good at maintaining a positive attitude and offering up support. 
I've been TTC for... well, this is my 17 month now. Talk about frustrating huh??
