No menstruation after stopping BC

I have not had my menstruation since I stopped the pill. I went off the pill to start trying to get pregnant but we have to wait till after my first menstruation. Well I am charting and it has been 70 days (Jan 24) since my last period from the pill. I still have not menstruated. My OB/GYN has had me on DUET prenatal vitamins since the beginning of January but our Natural Family Planning instructor has recommemded Optivite vitamins. I am sooo confused. The Optivite ony have 200 mcg og Folic Acid and of course RX Duet have 1 full mg... Supposedly Optivite has helped many women with irregular periods and such. What should I do? Anyone have faced the same issues????

Hi Claudia,


Have you been back to your gynecologist?

Hi claudia3333, welcome!

We don’t have all that much knowledge about TTC problems here. A really good place to ask your questions is on the iVillage Parents Place TTC boards. They have friendly and knowledgeable groups for a range of different TTC issues. The list of Parents Place boards including the TTCs is http://www.parentsplace.com/messageboards/ I wish I could be more help.

Wishing you the best in TTC!

Thank you for the advice. My periods were irregular before so I was told to wait six-months if I had problems to return to my ob/gyn. I will definitely go to the TTC board and ask there my question!
