Hi BumbleBee
My story is SO similar to yours! Off the pill in March had the withdrawl bleed and then 24 days later another period! I was like aww rightcycles are awesome.... and over two months later nothing!! I was referred to a gynecologist because I have another cyst in my left ovary and she immediately asked about fertility. Yes we want kids etc so she recommended getting on it right away. I've seen her twice since then and she's given me Provera to induce a period. I just had the Provera induced period and we're hoping I ovulate this cycle. I'm being fast tracked for things due to the cyst so if nothing happens by end of August she's looking into fertility options. Usually you have to wait a year.
I totally agree!! How can you "try" if you aren't ovulating! It's not like we're trying and failing! We can't even try
Struth, who just got pregnant on this thread and wouldluvabub also just got pregnant had been trying for over 6 months with irregular cycles. I'm holding out hope still
It WILL happen for you guys - it is so frustrating though isn't it? I was TTC for 7 months before I got my bfp (which actually isn't that long compared to the average stats) but I only had 4 cycles (one lasting 3 months).
I guess the main thing to work out is if you are ovulating during your wonky cycles or not. I was lucky in that I was but the length of my cycle was all over the place. That is why I had to use opks - that is me but other people feel differently - I just had to know when it was coming as I didn't want to miss it.
I have my FX'd for all you ladies
Oh and I just lay on my back with my feet on the bed (so my knees we up and pelvis tilted)!!
How long were your cycles Struth?
Thanks!

I came off the pill in December 2010 and had my withdrawal bleed. My first cycle was 55 days (there were three points in that cycle I thought I had O'd! It was so frustrating - after the second time, I started using opks!). My next cycle was 29 days (completely surprised me). My third cycle was 88 days - I thought I would go mad. It was during this cycle I went to the drs and they starting looking into things. And then this cycle would have been 29 days.
Whether my cycles were adjusting or not I don't know. As I think I might have said before, I was being investigated for PCOS as my hormones were wonky (my LH was four times by FSH when they are supposed to be roughly even). When they scanned me for PCOS they also found an endometrial cyst too. They were looking into this and saying that I might be prescribed metformin to regulate my cycles when I got my bfp.
I was so down at one point thinking how unfair it was to have so fewer chances than everyone else. I had forgotten that I DID still have chances - they were just less often. A lady on this forum helped by pointing that out - as long as you are O'ing you have a chance and the odds are that it WILL happen x
Hey struth, i was going to ask - what happens with your cyst then? You don't need it removed or anything? Just something you can do down the line?
I really don't know! All the GP told me was that the scan had revealed a thick walled cyst. I was there when she wrote the referral letter and it was only in that she called it an endometrioma. I was hoping to find out more at my appointment with the gynae last week but he cancelled on me. It has been rearranged for next week so I will be asking him them.
I did speak with my GP after finding out I was pregnant though as I wasn't sure whether to still see the gynae - it was only then I was told that the cyst was 25mm and that it shouldn't impact on the pregnancy. That is all I know...
I need to write a list of questions for the gynae next week - and your questions will be among them!
It was such a huge relief to know there wasn't anything hugely drastically wrong with my hormones.
lol
Best bit is going to be talking to my GP and cancelling gynae!!
so you have no idea how far gone you are?
