UPDATE!...giving up

[ashleypauline]

So i went to my OB today finally!...they did a urine test and poked and prodded up there...i am not pregnant =[. My OB put me on the pill and told me to take it for 3-6 months and then come off of it and try again. so here we go ladies =[...i was really hoping for this month to be mine....maybe i should just give up.

Why have they put u on the pill when ttc? X

 

[Cara89]

Yeah?! Why would they put you on bcp when you're ttc? Isn't that a bit counter-productive? Tbh - I probably wouldn't go back on bcp unless they had a very good reason and they could show me proof that putting it off for 3-6 months would make my come a lot faster than if I didn't. Did your Dr say why they want you to go back on it?!

 

[mrshanna]

Im with them^^^!!!

 

[KmTigg114]

aww, I'm sorry hun and I'm with everyone else! Why would she put you back on Bcp!!

 

[jennahlou]

aww sorry hun...my gp offered me BC yesterday to regulate my periods told her straight i didnt want it because im TTC. do you have irregular periods xx

 

[ashleypauline]

she is trying to regulate me because my body was super regular and she thinks when i got super sick (hospitalized) with mono...it threw off my hormones. so she wants me to go back in three months and we are going to discuss after then what other options i have to keep me regular off the pill....the pill for now is fine...i leave in 5 hours for disney and then i go back in july and august im working full-time so ill be busy =]

Don't do it! I had one doctor try to too and a another one said what these ladies said....try vitex first (agnus castus) natural and helps people regulate periods...tons of success stories good luck but don't take those bcp

 

[ashleypauline]

thanks for the advice mama! i def have some thinking to do!

 

[Cara89]

^^I was going to suggest Agnus Castus too! If it's just about regulating your hormones there is other options the the bcp.

 

[babycakes1982]

I would defo agree bout the AC. My cycles have been a bit screwy since July last year after BCP. Been taking AC for bout 3/4 months now as well as losing a bit of weight and I think they are both helping. My past few cycles have been 36, 37, 35 and this one will prob be bout 34ish.

I don't know what your tests your doc has done but I would not be going back on BCP without trying some other options 1st but that's just me. GL in what ever you decide to do. Oh and enjoy Disneyland.... Jealous much! Lol xxx

Goin back on the pill doesnt "regulate" you. It just makes it so you dont O! the best thing to do would be to let your body work itself out and it will eventually regulate itself, that or if it doesnt clomid or other hormones would help you O! Bcp is the reason why i cant get pregnant now

I second Vitex / Agnus Cactus. I also will suggest Maca. It's a superfood and balances out hormones. I've been taking both since early April. It works. My cycles were every which way for months and now they are coming together finally.
Also, if you do plan on using BCP's now...when you do get off of them again, it will more than likely mess with your hormones even worse...withdrawl bleeds, spotting, longer periods, longer time in getting periods. I've read it can take a woman's body up to 1 year to restabilize itself after BC. That's crazy!
Say hi to Mickey for me! =)
