Mirium, I'm sorry that you mind was not put at ease and that you have even more to think about. It seems that these are all still maybe scenarios so try not to stress yourself too much (easy said). It can take a long time to get pg as we know so I still think you are in with a chance

Dwrgi looks like you had a fun birthday

Happy Birthday, Dwrgi!! I hope you had a fabioso day!!

Lils: I'm so sorry to hear about your BIL I hope you're all getting through this as best you can, thinking of you all

Mirium: Oh, it's so frustrating when you have so many questions and there are just no straight-forward answers. As the lovely Butterfly said, it can take some time to fall pregnant, but it does happen *points towards the lovely purple*

DrSquid: Wonderful!

HELP!

I need some advice!!

My RE put me on birth control pills for three weeks leading up to my polyp removal. I had the polyp removed yesterday.

I am super stressed. I had never taken birth control pills before in my life, and I have been reading on the internet that it can take months to have a normal cycle/ovulate after stopping birth control. I am sick about this. I have ALWAYS had a 27-28 day cycle and ovulate on day 13 without fail. My last period started 15 June, so my July period would have started 12-13 July.

I was put on the pill the 20th of June right after my FSH blood test. I was told it was so I wouldn't be bleeding (sry) the day of the surgery. Which confused me because the surgery was scheduled for 9 July, and my period would not have begun until 12-13 July. Anyway, I started bleeding on 5 July (different looking period-again, sry), and was still slightly bleeding going into surgery yesterday. The pills I was taking were the normal BCP, they were minis, and I started bleeding when I was still taking the hormone pills, not the brown iron pills.

Now, how the heck do I figure out what my cycle is doing? When will I ovulate? Was that a period on 5 July? I am already in a fight against the clock. When can we TTC again? How the heck will I know. I am so very worried that these pills messed up my cycle that was working like clockwork.

ANY information would be super appreciated, as I am on the verge of tears (I'm not a sissy, I will laugh at myself in a second). The reality of possibly not being able to have our own kids has really got my husband and I down. Now, I have no idea if the next few months will be wasted, as were the last 2 (June and July-for polyp removal). I am just getting older (38.5), have crappy numbers AMH: 0.93 and FSH of 16.5, and have become a much less happy version of me

Lils - I know we already chatted on FB - but just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss and hoping and praying that you and your family are surrounded by loved ones... We are here for you whenever you need to vent or need a shoulder to cry on... ok?

Mirium - sorry your app't left you more confused.... it really sucks how the unknown can just eat away at you.... I hope you get some real answers soon... but try not to put too much pressure on yourself. I have my app't with the RE on the 23rd (2 weeks) and I'm excited but dreading how I'm going to feel when I leave the office. Vent on us anytime!!

Dr. S - wow going to try my hand at a spoiler....

WOW!!! Congrats woman!! Twins! Am very happy for you... Twice the first smiles, twice the first hugs and kisses.... twice the love... Fingers crossed for sticky babies!

Mirium,
Sorry you're sad. I am too I have to stay motivated for my job, but I find it difficult to care that much when I'm so sad about possibly not having kids. It's like a dark cloud that hangs over everything. My husband just teared up day-before-yesterday for the first time. It's my eggs that are the issue, not him. I feel so horrible.

 

[purplelou]

Lovelytosee you Skye! Hope you are doing ok??

 

[Lady H]

Fly-I think the info about the length of time your cycles take to go back is based on being on it much much longer. I was on mine eighteen years and mine settled in four months. Glad you had your op, do your best to relax and I am sure your cycle will settle. Maybe use OPKs to see what is going on? They might give you an idea on your levels? Big hugs, it will settle soon. Xxx

 

[purplelou]

Flyflorida I'm sorry, I missed your post earlier! I would say don't panic. Because you have only been on them for a few weeks, it's unlikely the pills will mess with your cycle too much? If it helps at all, I was on the pill for about 20 years before I stopped them to TTC, and it took only about a month for things to settle down

Big

Mirium,

Thanks FlyFlorida - big to you. It is tough but try not to let it get you down too much. Things have a way of falling into place and we adapt too. Also, we have to try to ward off the sadness too because sometimes that's how depression starts and we don't want to have to battle that as well. It's not easy but I am trying hard to not focus on the negatives right now. Your husband tearing up - that was touching. I just need some relief so I am going to buy a buttermilk muffin and some hot chocolate or something... . Have a good evening!
