Hello All,
I'm finding it increasingly hard to stay positive about our possibilities lately. I'm on CD45 with no sign of AF, blood test says I didn't ovulate this cycle (duh), and pregnancy tests are negative.
After five years of NTNP and extremely irregular cycles since puberty, I happened to fall pregnant last August only to miscarry at 7 weeks.
That miscarriage led to finally meeting with an RE, who determined that I have insulin issues (but not PCOS) and what he thought was Asherman's Syndrome. I had surgery two months ago (laparoscopy and hysteroscopy) which turned up a uterine septum, endometriosis, and extensive abdominal adhesions. My lovely RE resected the septum, treated the endo, and was able to remove most of the adhesions (including freeing my colon and left tube from my abdominal wall).
I was very, very excited to get the go ahead to TTC in my upcoming cycle. Since going on metformin a few months ago, my cycles have become shorter (closer to 30 days now) and I've lost about 25 pounds. But - of course - I got blindsided by an unusually long cycle at a time when I thought I'd be able to skip right into my first round of letrozole. And here I wait. At CD45.
After so much positive momentum in our LTTTC journey, I just feel defeated and like we've taken a giant step backward. I know my AF will come eventually, but I hate not knowing when. I feel like I have no control right now.
Thanks for letting me vent my frustration.

Me -> 33, insulin resistance issues (almost PCOS), septate uterus (now removed)
Him -> 35, Doc says his sperm is "stellar"

the only thing i can suggest is try putting hot water bottles on your stomach, do some exercise and orgasms! they are what used to work for me when my periods were no-shows. by exercise i mean a jog, some sit down cycling and long walks then home and hot water bottle over lower abdomen or hot baths, they work too... and yep orgasms! 
HTH
