WIshing my Body would work with me here....

I am so just wanting my body to either bring on AF or give me a BFP. I feel like I am trapped in this no mans land of nothing either way. I am currently 28 days late for a normal 28 day cycle.... however my last cycle was longer too (42 days) so from that stand point I am 15 days late and from when I think I last o'd I am 18 days past. Currently from the last AF I am on CD 57 which seems really long but if I did infact not O until 12/31 (which is what I am pretty sure happened athough since its been "wetter" down there its kinda hard to tell.) Either way it seems super long to me any thoughts?I haven't taken a test since last weekend I may take one again this weekend or tomorrow since I was up way to late last night and didn't feet a good amount of sleep to get FMU. Since we have had a bunch of snow LOL. When I talked to the MD's office a week or two ago they said that its kinda of normal since I have just been off the pill barely 6 months and really have no idea what my TRUE normal is since i was on it 10+ years. We ran all the tests when I was 3 months Post Pill because AF hadn't showed I have only had 3/4 Cycles since. So I know they are hisatent to run any more tests as everything was normal and not even a low normal. I really don't want to switch DR's at this point but almost wondering if I am going to have to :/ I just am so blah over this whole situation and the never knowing how long to expect my cycle to be at this point. I know i need to be patient and realize that it hasn't been that long however, its still frustrating me. I just wish AF would show her face so that we can figure out if I am for some reason having a problem with AF coming timely or if there is something else going on or if its nothing and my body really just needs to find normal.

Sorry you're frustrated but I think it's something we all went thru getting off bc. I'm not sure if it would help you or not but since I was on the depo for 12yrs when I got off I had no period for a year. At the 1yr mark they had me take the last week or sugar pills in a bc pack, low & behold she came. Worst AF ever but she came! If you have any left over maybe you could talk to your dr about doing it. I think with hormones whacked out & it only being the sugar pills I don't think it would hurt to try. Vitex is also something you can take to regulate your cycles but you dont start it till AF comes. Those are the only 2 I can think of to help if your dr isn't willing to get more involved. It's crazy how everything works so right on bc yet it goes all wacky when we're not. HTH & your body starts cooperating very soon!!

I am in the same boat as you, with not knowing how long my typical cycle was since I had been on BC since I was 16. What has really helped me, and in turn helped my GYN figure out what was going on, was to start tracking my temps and to really pinpoint the exact day that I ovulated on. This helped me in figuring out if I was just ovulating really late or something else was going on. For me I was going 30 to 50 days into my cycles before I would ovulate then 10-13 days after I

I'm sorry you're still waiting for something to happen! I would try to actually talk with your doctor and see what they say. I know they say it's normal, but if it doesn't feel normal to you it warrants a call.

It's frustrating when your body doesn't cooperate after going off BC. I hope it's a BFP, but there are so many things that could be going on with your body. I've heard of girls who ovulate and go through the normal stages but just aren't shedding the lining, so AF never comes. I hope that you can get things figured out quickly. It's just frustrating when you have no control over what's going on with your body and you know that things aren't right and the doctor doesn't listen. GL with talking with your doctor:)

Thanks! Yeah I am just so at a loss! I am 90% sure I have ovulated and things are definanitly wetter down there but there is just no sign of AF. The MD is saying its normal but how normal is it? I am just not sure. Other than no sign of AF nothing else is striking me as odd or out of place.
