CD80 and fed up waiting....

Hi Faye,

Lap and Dye and Ovarian Drilling sounds a bit scary but I'm sure it will all be worth it in the long run! I'm sure I read somewhere that you're super fertile after getting that done so I'm sending loads of luck and baby dust your way. Do you have a date for it yet?

I promised I'd let you know how it went today!

Well, doc was really nice. She took some bloods said she'd test for PCOS and Thyroid and generally just hormone levels. She had a wee feel of my tummy too which I wasn't expecting! She didn't seem too keen on giving me something to induce period but she basically said that these tests should do for now. She's going to phone me next monday with the results. She says once we have the results, we can discuss what happens next. She seemed a bit unsure whether to refer me to gynae or fertility clinic - I'm hoping for fertility clinic though. Will just have to wait till next Monday to find out what she thinks is best!

Thanks for your messages.

Hi Faye

Thank you so much for your reply. I think best case scenario is that my hormones are still settling after being on the pill. It does feel like I was having cycles (even if they were a bit irregular) and now nothing at all so I know exactly what you mean. Its so frustrating!

I'll definitely press the docs to do those tests you suggest. Without wanting to google diagnose myself(!), I think PCOS and/or thyroid problems may be the issue because I do have a few of the symptoms. I see you are also on the Clomid thread - do you mind me asking how long after your AFs disappeared that you got put on Clomid? Also, did you get it prescribed by GP or did you have to get referred to a fertility specialist?

CD80 and fed up waiting....

Hi everyone

I'm new here! I'm 27 and DH is 25. We've been trying for 8 months now which I know isn't as long as some people but I think you ladies might be able to help me with your experiences.

My first four cycles after coming off the pill were irregular from 25-37 days but I'm not sure if I actually ov in any of them and it looked like I had a short LP. I then had one 'normal cycle (ie normal length with 14 day LP) and thought, great, things are settling down. And then my body has thrown me this cycle - I'm on CD 80 and no sign of ovulation or AF. I'm going mad!

I've got an appointment at the GP on Monday although I've spoken to her on the phone a couple of weeks ago. She seems to want me to wait for a natural AF before doing blood tests but I just keep thinking that could take months at this rate!

I'm taking the usual vitimins and B6. Since about CD60 of this cycle I've taken Agnus Castus and EPO too - anything to try and bring on this AF!

What do you guys think? Any advice on what we should discuss with GP?

Finding all this waiting and hoping really difficult- how do you ladies keep a PMA?

We have been trying for 6 months but my cycles are all over the place (I'm on CD 54 today - my longest cycle so far and no sign of AF!). Chic, if I'd known the pill would take so long to get out my system, I too would have came off it ages ago!

It is so hard to keep up the PMA - I'm trying to keep as busy as possible and make plans to do loads of stuff so that I don't let it get me down too much.

Luteal Phase Defect - Can anyone help?

Hi Lady

Thanks for replying. Yeah I'm hoping that is all it is. My plan is to wait until June to see whether it gets better or stays quite regular. Then maybe go to the docs. It's just so disappointing when you think you're ovulating and you do everything you can and then your body lets you down at the final hurdle! Grr...!!!

Baby dust to you x

Luteal Phase Defect - Can anyone help?

Hi Everyone

This is my first post on BE but I've been lurking for a while! You all seem so helpful so I hoped you might be able to help me.

I came off the pill (mycrogynon) in December (9th). I think I ovulated on CD22 and AF came on CD26 (4dpo). This cycle, I ovulated on CD33 and AF came on CD38 (5dpo). I temp'd this month and I did see a shift on CD37 but it fell again back to pre-O levels on CD38. In both months, I've had symptoms like AF is coming from ovulation to AF (tender nipples, cramps, PMS etc).

I've done a bit of research and I think I might have LPD. What do you think? I think it is caused by low progesterone. Does anyone know anything I can take to sort this out? (I'm already taking B6 this month) Or anything I should eat/avoid eating? Or should I go to the docs about it now? I have a horrible feeling they might send me away cause we've only been trying for 2/3 months but from what I've read this problem won't sort itself!

Any help/comments much appreciated. XxX
