Post-pill irregular cycles support thread!!

[Lemonflower]

Don't give up hope ladies! I was CD162 when I got my after BCP!! Keep trying you may catch a miracle eggy like me!! xxx

Thanks ladies, the support really helps!

Have accepted there is something wrong as nurse said they'd only need an appointment if there was. Just really hoping & praying it's something they can treat fairly easily. The waiting is horrible. Receptionist said it was 'a non-urgent appointment' - might be non-urgent to them but it's the most important results i've ever had.

Well did get a bit of a distraction, + opk last night & peak cbfm this am. Not convinced as my body has been doing some really weird things this cycle but guess my temps will tell over the next few days. Even if I ov suspect my chances are pretty rubbish, seems like my body has geared up a few times already this cycle but failed ov which I think affects the egg quality. But at least it would mean this cycle it nearly over!

Wow!! You must have been completely shocked?! But hearing things like that does give me hope it might eventually happen!

Just spoken to gp and all my hormones were in the normal range. He had got confused and forgotten my background so thought they were cd21 tests and was calling to tell me I hadn't ov'd.......eh, I could have told him that! All that stress because he didn't read my notes properly He said it doesn't explain why I'm having such long irregular cycles but it's not showing any signs of pcos or ovarian deficiency. So relieved.

He asked again how long we'd been ttc for and said they normally wait until 12 months to try to refer you but if DH comes in and does a SA then he'll try to refer us now to get the ball rolling.

Don't think DH is going to be happy. He potentially has an issue as he's suffered from prostatitis in the past and an SA done 3.5 yrs ago showed a really high count but slightly lower than normal levels of motility and morphology. The specialist at the time told him it might well correct itself but he's always refused to have it re-done. He had it done when he was working abroad so I'm guessing his nhs notes don't have details of it. We'd always assumed we'd have to try for 12 months and then it we hadn't got a bfp they would test to see if it was still problem. I'll be happy to get an answer to that sooner rather than later but I suspect he was hoping we'd get there by 12 months and he wouldn't have to be re-tested. Oh well, that's going to be a fun conversation tonight.....

Thats fab news snowflake, do you think you'll ask for some thing to bring on AF now? x

 

[snowflake9]

Thanks Heidi! Well I was planning on asking for something to bring on af but my body seems to be trying to ov again, had positive opk last night and 3 positive opks today. But if it's not ov I'll be asking the gp for something to bring on af. Just want to be back at cd 1 again and hope for a much shorter cycle next time.

Have you decided whether to take the norethisterone or not?

Fx'd you have ov'd this time! I've not bought any opks yet will probably wait until my cycles are less than 70 days long
Its my birthday tomorrow and decided to take them from monday so i dont get any effects from the tablets and i can also have a drink too, it will only be one or two but i'd rather not be taking them and drinking. It did the trick for me last time so hoping it will again. Once i get back to CD1 or so i'll book in for some bloods to be done x

 

[snowflake9]

Happy birthday for tomorrow!

Hope it does the trick for you again this time. If this isn't ov then I'll definitely be off to get some and hope it does the trick for me too!

 

[littlbabywish]

I'm so glad your test results have come back normal snowflake.

I feel like my body's tried to gear up for ov a few times this month too. So frustrating Well, CD 38 today. BBT has shown afew big shifts but I'm not sure what they mean as of yet. Guess I'll have to wait and see

Thanks hun x

How are you all doing today? Make the most of this lovely weather!! xx

 

[snowflake9]

Weather has broken in north-east now, we've had lots of rain all day so feeling much more like autumn again. And i've managed to hurt my back so been laid out flat all day, only good side to it is DH running around looking after me!

Is the sun still shining with you? Did you have a good birthday?

Looks like I might have ov'd on Friday, not got a lot of hope for this eggy as think it's very unusual to conceive in such a long cycle but at least it would mean the start of new one soon!

 

[blondy13]

Hiya everyone!
the weather seems to have turned here in the midlands too...typical when its been boiling all week, i just wanted a whole weekend of sun but hey!
snowflake - glad to see you don't have pcos or anything but hmmm it still doesn't explain the long cycles. maybe the peak on the cbfm will mean an eggy is about to pop?!
Well I have got my internal scan tomorrow to look at my ovaries, feeling very nervous. Kind of excited to know, but I know it will be hard to accept if it is PCOS.
Has anyone had one - does it hurt?
Thanks xxx

 

[Reba]

Hi Snowflake!
That temp rise is looking promising for an O!!

Blondy - internal scan? Like an ultrasound but internal? If yes, then yes I've had one it's not bad at all Good luck!

'm on the south coast and its been boiling all weekend, does feel a bit weird though being that its October! Spend the weekend with hubby and my DD went to the beach today.

Hope your back feels better soon.
Your temps look really really good, at least you've ov'd naturally Have you managed to DTD just in case or is that a no-no with your bad back?

Good luck for your scan blondy, i've never had one so cant advise, but i've had many other type of internals and didn't find them painful at all. x

 

[snowflake9]

Good luck with the scan today blondy, I've never had one but wouldn't have thought it will be painful. Hope it gives you some answers.

I know, I'm pleased about the blood tests but it doesn't explain why I've only had 3 cycles since February! The dr and nurse said that sometimes it just takes your body a while to get back into a normal cycle so guess we'll see. Guess there are other things it could be that a blood test doesn't show.

Sounds like a lovely weekend Heidi, does your DD love the beach?

Another temp rise this morning so FF has put crosshairs in for Friday now. Managed to dtd on Friday (did the legs up in the air afterwards thing and think might be how I hurt my back!) and Sat despite the sore back and DH's protests that he really didn't think it was a good idea!

Off work today as I can barely manage to walk more than a few meters and sitting down is agony, even lying down is sore....I feel fine otherwise so it somehow feels wrong being off work, really hope it eases a bit soon!

 

[Heidi]

Snowflake my cycle never became regular after i stopped the pill last time and still dont know why, i understand how frustrating it is not having an actual reason for it BUT i obviously did conceive after a year,and only about 6 cycles so there is hope.

Your chart is looking really good!

Yes she adores the water, we normally go to sandy beaches but this one was stony so she wasn't to impressed walking on it.

 

[littlbabywish]

Good luck with your scan blondy. Hopefully things will come back normal.

The weird things we do after DTD snowflake. I haven't done air bike riding since I was little.

I was hoping for nice weather all weekend but alas as I hail from the midlands too as you know Sundays weather wasn't the best.

According to FF I finally ovulated on CD34. YAAAY

 

[Heidi]

How did the scan go blondy?

I took my 1st norethisterone pill today.Those who have taken it or provera how long did you have to take it for? My doctor just said that she will give me the same as i had last time which is 3 tablets for 10 days. seems like a long time to be taking them to me??!! Would it hurt if i stopped at 7 days?

 

[Reba]

I take tablets for 10 days. Heidi make sure to take all the pills if you don't you might not have enough progeterone or whatever in your system to induce a period when you stop taking the pills!

 

[Heidi]

^^ thanks. I missed a few last time, and had read about people taking it for 7 days, i will take it for the ten just to make sure then.
