Skipping 2 AF's in a row - please help
| Fri, 08-29-2003 - 3:16pm |
Hi ladies! I have almost missed 2 AF's in a row now. I had a dr. appt. this week, but I really didnt get any answers. (I have a *new* dr. that I am going to see Sept 10th - can't wait!)
But, my main concern is that I havent seen AF since June 29th.....I am worried.

My cycles are usually pretty normal - 28 - 35 days.
My last cycle was a little shorter and lighter than normal also.
Can anyone ease my mind here? Or are there things that maybe I should be concerned about?
Thanks for all your help!

Well, my case is similiar to yours although I have not actually "missed af" I just thought I was going to miss August but low and behold it started. I did go to the dr's myself last week before I did start (ironically enought I started af the day I went to the dr's--go figure) but since I quit the bcp back in March this year, it's been really long (for me from a steady 28 day cycle for 11 yrs.) so it ranges now from 30-34 days, being 32-34 for the norm each month. Although, w/o af, I do not believe that you're ov as well. Have you just recently come off bcp? My doc says that will cause no af and should return shortly, within a few months once your body adjusts without bcp in your system. I had all testing done, i.e., thryoid, all horomone levels and they all came back just fine. My dilemma was, I thought and still think I am having af's w/o ov each month (which is possible) I just don't have normal signs of ov like everyone else, i.e., cm, a swinge of pain in lower ab, and cervix feeling pretty low and hard each month (I check it myself with fingers..sorry tmi) but who knows, maybe I am and just don't know it right? So, to be sure, I went out and bought the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor and this is my first month using it. Right now, I just came off af, so I cd 8 hoping to ov on cd 14-20 (I leave that long range do to the length of my cycles, I could ov any time sooner or later than that) so that is what this great monitor is for. So far, I still have "low fertility" according to the monitor but just coming off af, thats normal since I am not mid-cycle yet.
In a nut shell, go get testing done and had I not started af when I did, my doc was going to put me on a drug called Provera to "force a bleed" it does work but it's kind of a fake bleed, if you will but it should bring on ov too.
Hope this helps, e-mail with any other q's.
Good luck.
