Hi all,
This is my first time posting here so please forgive if this is a little too detailed. Im a bit confused and looking for some advice. I got off bc pills last November. Since then, Ive had regular periods that start on the 14th or 15th of each month, with the exception of April. I was travelling from April 13th-18th so AF didnt arrive until the 20th once I was home. Even though AF was delayed in April, it arrived back on schedule in May on the 14th.
May was the first cycle that hubby and I decided to actively ttc. I calculated my ovulation based on online ovulation calculators and did have EWCM at the predicted time (peak ovulation should have been May 29th based on my average 29 day cycle). Hubby and I bbd every other day (sometimes more 😜
the week leading up to then and the week after just for good measure.
I was certain I was pregnant the first couple of weeks in June because I was so incredibly exhausted that I was falling asleep in the middle of each day. I had an unusual amount of EWCM, which I dont usually get around that time and weird pulling sensations in my abdomen. When the 14th of June rolled around, AF didnt come. We were so excited - we thought we were one of those lucky ones.
Jump forward to now AF still hasnt arrived. Ive had zero spotting and Im now 23 days late. Im no longer incredibly exhausted all the time but Ive had severe lower back pain for two weeks, a twinge feeling in my lower left abdomen on and off, lots of EWCM, and a slightly elevated temp. Ive taken a million HPTs but all with BFNs. I went to my gynecologist yesterday. She did an exam but said she does not think I'm pregnant. She didnt feel any cysts but said its possible I may have had a cyst that resolved itself, hence the back pain and missed period. She ordered a qualitative blood test, which came back negative, and sent me off with a 10-day supply of Medroxyprogesterone.
I still think it is extremely weird that the first month that hubby and I were actively trying, I never got my period. Im hesitant to take the Provera if there is a slight possibility I could still be pregnant (doc says it wont harm fetus but Im reading otherwise online). Is it wishful thinking that I may still be pregnant? My other concern is that perhaps I have PCOS and this is the start of a long, frustrating journey. Im just so frustrated because I feel like Im in limbo. Any thoughts, experiences, or advice?
P.S. I bought opts for next time around whenever that may be
