Trying to stay positive.

I just joined this site because I saw how women are all supporting each other while helping one another TTC. I was inspired to tell my story because I find myself looking for motivation as well as trying to stay faithful, hopeful and positive, but I have never come across my particular situation and I don't know where to start, so I started a new thread.

My cycle as been irregular since my first and only depot shot, at the age 19, after I declared never to take BC again due to the weight gain and the disappearance of my AF completely, I personally didn't like what it did to me. I was 160 before depo and 200 after :growlmad:. After 1/12 I'd say my cycle came back irregular, every 3-6 months for about 3 years. After that it disappeared completely, I've taken depo provera (Medroxyprogesterone) for four months, I had AF every four months but when I stopped no sign of AF. My husband and I have been married a year now and we want to start a family. I have been TTC for six months now no luck. I was still trying even though I haven't had AF, b/c I read I may still be ovulating. I tried to keep records of my BBT, but that was a fail. It was everywhere, each day same time and it was always something different. Now I'm trying to lose weight in hopes that it would help, but it's really hard. I was told that PCOS runs in my family though I have never been diagnosed with it (THANK GOD:happydance:) I have read that pregnancy is still possible though, and my heart goes out to those who do have that issue, I just don't think I can take that kind of news! I have been in a funk trying to keep myself and my husband positive with scripture and prayer, (I'm Christian) and I do get a little down so that's why I'm here to hear your stories and motivation I guess. Still going to my obgyn daily to figure out the next step, but these test are adding up, so we took a break and hopefully we will have the money to move to the next step, I guess if everything checks out, we will be back on our TTC journey. Well dispite the absence of my AF I haven't stopped trying. If anyone have a story similar to mine and have had a baby I would love to hear from you. :hugs: thank you in advance and God bless you for reading my story.
 
I'm sorry I'm not in a similar situation so I have no advice, but I wanted to wish you good luck on your journey. And also bump your thread so maybe someone with a similar experience will read. <3 Blessings!!
 
I have always had irregular cycles when not on bcp. Anywhere from 60-160 days. Took me 3 1/2 years and 2 mmc to conceive my son who was born in 2012. Now we have been ttc foe 17 months and currently on cycle day 67. We have been to see a fertility specialist. Just been given 3 months to try and lose weight and get my sugars down before I start Femara or Clomid.
 
Hi CanadianLady,

I'm not in the exact same situation as you but I used to have very regular cycles until I started the bcp. Once we decided we were ready to get pregnant I stopped assuming I would get pregnant right away- 18 months later here I am! i have had a few periods but generally for me the only way to start one was to take provera. Maybe this is something you can ask your gyno about- I have just started my period after taking the last provera a week ago and although not heavy it's enough of a bleed for me to take Clomid.

In regards to your weight it makes more of a difference than you think! I suggest asking your dr for metformin- it can assist the weightloss and keeps your blood sugars in check; ultimately it's these blood sugars that mess us your hormones! I started doing yoga at home- literally followed a YouTube video and also started taking a really good multivitamin and omega 3 supplement - one month later I got my period naturally - last month I fell off the wagon and didn't but am back on it now!

Stay positive it will happen for you!
 
I started Metformin 2 months ago so hoping that will start to help. I may need to ask about Provera as there is no sign of my period.
 
Well 3 months are up and I got my blood sugar results today. It has gone downs from 6.2 to 5.6. Feeling hopefully for appointment with our fertility specialist on Friday.
 
Good luck dear, praying you leave your appointment on Friday filled with hope and optimism. Followed very shortly by a BFP
