Still no AF! Who's with me?!

[LKPone]

Still No AF. Apparently Prometrium isn't working for me.
CD141. Doc says nothing she can do for another 3 months. Just have to wait it out.

Argh... I feel your pain... I'm now CD146 I haven't been put on anything yet though, but been for blood tests and scans and all fine, except for a load of small cysts on my right ovary, which the doc isn't worried about.

SO frustrating! I just want to be able to start charting!

Aw, so sorry to hear that Prometrium did not work for you! Are there any other natural remedies you are going to try?

 

[MrsHBuckley]

Wow Minni that is awful. Looks like another long cycle for me too. On CD 57 now. About a week ago I had some dark OPKs but none that looked like the super dark positive I got last cycle. BD'd anyway. But I dot think I O'd because I didn't have the sore nipples like I usually get after. I'm just testing once a day now trying to conserve my LH tests, since last cycle my dark positives lasted for 3 days. It is so frustrating that I'm thinking of just stopping all the testing and tracking, but I can't seem to make myself stop! I can't stand not knowing.
I hope everyone else is doing well!

Thanks All.

LKPone - The doc didn't suggest jump starting AF since you've been so long without?

Leikela - I really don't know what else to try. I've thought about Vitex, but I'm not positive I want to spend the money on something that may not work again.. I kind of just want to wait 3 more months and see what happens.

MrsHBuckley - Ugh. Long cycles are the worst!! And I know exactly what you mean about wanting to give up tracking and everything but not being able to. I couldn't give it up for a while but I've finally given in and stopped.

LKPone - The doc didn't suggest jump starting AF since you've been so long without?

Not yet, no. I've now been referred to a specialist, so no doubt he/she will put me on something, unless something has happened naturally before then

I've also just been for acupuncture today... not convinced about natural remedies, but no harm giving it a shot!

Oooh. Let us know how the acupuncture goes. I've always wanted to try for all kinds of different things but I'm skeptical.

It definitely works... exactly how, I have no idea! My mom suffered from terrible headaches and went for 4 sessions and has never had the the headaches again and my hubby went for stress. Even the doc said that for pain management, it definitely has a place, but he's not convinced that it will do anything for my issues. I wouldn't even had considered it, but my best friend has spoken to 3 people who have been for various fertility issues - mainly cycle related, but one went for failing to fall pregnant - and they can't stop raving about it, so I thought I'd give it a shot Well, that is, for as long as I can afford it... it's not cheap!

Hi Ladies,

Haven't been on here in awhile, have been a busy hard time, ended up having a 71 day cycle, BFN finally got my AF last week so time to try again, now in our 10th month of trying, finding it really hard. Just found out my younger brothers girlfriend is pregnant, seems like everyone around me is either pregnant or having a baby but me. How are all you getting on?

 

[MESH]

AF showed today and I called for my husband to bring me my purse and he thought I was pregnant and.i kept saying IM NOT PREGNANT! And so he started bawling after I get done in the bathroom hes cooking breakfast and tears are just falling from his face. I said some things that were mean cause im angry at the world right now and he hasnt shown me any comfort he went in the bedroom loaded the gun and was saying shawn is the star child he will always be better. I cant do anything right. I called his.mom and said please talk to him. She said to me you two are going through a really Bad Problem right now. No shit! So I hung up on her and called 911 hes been admitted in the hospital. As soon as I dialed it he ejected the bullets and put the sks away. we are going to therapy for a while before having a baby. He has some problems that I wasnt aware of. I mean I know shawn is put on a pedal stool but I didnt know it got to him this much. And shawn was rude with how he broke it to my husband. thanks to fertilaid I ovulated and now AF is here on time. Its working. But I have to take care of my husband and not worry about baby anymore.

So sorry to hear how hard it has been on you and your hubby, wishing you all the best is working out all the problems. Having and trying for a baby are i think the most stressful things ever. All the best for you both.

Hi Minni,

Can't imagine how frustrated you are, just had a 71 day cycle which was bad enough, my af eventually came naturally but not before 3 blood tests and an ultrasound, though at least this told me i don't have PCOS and everything looks okay. I really hope things regulate for you praying for that af to come, it's such a horrible waiting game, it does your head in.

 

[TTCBean]

Hey girls, looks like I am back in this thread. Last cycle was 61 days. This cycle so far is 35 days. Before BC and while on it (for 6 years) I had 28 day cycles like clockwork. So now I am in limbo, not sure if I O'd or not, BBT chart is not really helping me right now and not sure if I caught a positive with OPK. This is all too confusing!

THANKFULLY I have a fertility specialist appointment on Wednesday. It'll probably just be an initial (get to know me type thing) appt, so probably no answers, but at least the ball will start to roll. This is cycle # 11 trying. :'(

Negative HPT so far too.

I started Vitex on CD1, hoping it would shorted my cycle. Let's hope this doesn't turn into a 61 day thing again.

It's getting to me. It's bringing me down. I think it's the root of my anger toward DH recently. CD151 now and still nothing. It's been 13 months since my last depo shot. It's been 3 weeks since the last dose of Prometrium. I HATE the thought of waiting until JUNE to be able to take another step. I JUST WANT A BABY.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way... if it's any consolation, there are others in the same boat. I'm going on for 8 months now and NOTHING! Nada, zip...

I haven't been getting down about it until last week... now it's all I can think about to have a bloody period!!

I know it's 'out there', but have you tried acupuncture? I'm going for my second session tomorrow night and - who knows - there are enough good news stories out there about it helping with cycles and ovulation to make me think that it's worth a shot!

Just got my appointment letter for the specialist, so at least I'm getting somewhere eventually with getting it seen to!

Hang in there and chin up...

Hi Minni,

That's terrible, I can't believe that they are making you wait so long, it's ridiculous, i really feel for you, I know my cycle wasn't that long but its so horrible the waiting it can drive you crazy, it was really hard for both my hubby and I, the not knowing and all the tests.

I know how you feel though who ever thought it would be this hard to get pregnant. I never expected to be one of the women that had problems, it's so hard and all I want, like you is to have a baby.

I really hope that something changes for you soon, keep strong and keep us updated.

Thanks. Your words mean so much.
She ran bloodwork when I was there last month and everything came back normal, so I guess she just wants to give the depo ample time to run out. I've been debating going to another doc for a second opinion. Not sure if it would do any good though.

I'm going on 10 months of trying, ONE month of which I've actually had AF. It's insane. I am with you. I NEVER imagined my constant thought would be about getting my freaking period. And then I get people who say "I envy you" when I tell them I haven't had one since Oct. Seriously? Why would you say that to someone who NEEDS a cycle and is TRYING to have a baby?!

I don't think I could do acupuncture, I'm not too keen on the thought of having a million tiny needles stuck into me.

FXed you get some good news with the specialist!

so sorry minni. Hoping you get out of limbo very soon!

Thank you! I am hoping so too!

 

[MrsHBuckley]

I'm on CD 72 now of this cycle. My GYN wants me and DH to come in in April. I think she is going to get him tested and then put me on Metformin because that's the only mess she seems to talk about. Due to my PCOS and being overweight. Hrrrmmm.. I hate this waiting! And I'm a little sick of doing OPKs and it not being positive!

 

[MrsHamstra]

Well Af hasnt shown for me. Again this sucks. All BFN's sooo I get to see my obgyn this wed. Getting lots of tests done. I knew it wouldnt sho this month its too good to be true to have AF months in a row.

 

[MrsHBuckley]

Congrats Imsotired I see you are expecting! What did you do this cycle??

 

[minni2906]

Congrats, Imsotired!!!


Thank you ALL for your kind words! Guess what?! I am on CD 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think anyone has ever been so excited to see AF as I am at this very minute! I feel like I got hit by a bus, but I am soooooo happy!!!!

Here's hoping she sticks on a regular schedule from here on out, UNLESS I get my BFP!
