good morning! you are so thoughtful to ask, thank you very much! well she said I'm probably not o'ing since I haven't started af (unless by some chance I o'd less than 2 weeks ago). she sent me for blood work a yes/no hcg test as well as to check my thyroid and pituitary gland and hormone levels etc. she thinks all of the tests will come back normal and she doesn't think I'm pg but hopefully will find out for sure today. she said she thinks it's all just hormones being all screwed up and it just takes time for everything to fall back into place, but since I'm past the 3 month mark it's not really normal at this point and if all my tests come back normal and bfn then she wants me to start taking Provera (progesterone sp? only) for 10 days to jump start af. she also said if af does not start after the provera then I'm not producing estrogen, but she said that is highly unlikely since I had 2 normal pg's in recent years. she also said she does not think it's cysts, she didn't check me but she said even if did have them it wouldn't affect my cycle like this and if it were serious I would feel something wrong which I don't.
I really don't want to take the provera, I'm scared of screwing up my hormones more than they already are... I don't like taking pills and I'm uncomforable with it but maybe it's the bc that screwed me up to begin with so now I need to fix it with hormones? Any advice on Provera?
I still have one hpt left but I just can't bring myself to use it. I should hear from the dr today with my hcg test. we bd'd on 7/27 so there is still an outside chance... but if this one comes back bfn then I think I'll finally be able to swallow that I'm not pg. It's just so hard to wholly believe without af!!!
I'm so sorry this was ridiculously long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THANK YOU for reading if you got this far!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please update on how you are doing too ok?
Well I just started provera on Tuesday so this is my third day of it and I have been pretty satisfied, no weird side effects. I haven't had my AF for what is like 58 days or so and with multiple bfn's and only one false postive (that sucked) I decided I wanted to get this cycle over with so I can start ttc again. Next month I am going to chart better and hopefully I will know when I o or not. I didn't do anything this month except check cm and that was way confusing because I had four random days of it all through the couple months. So we will see. I have read many posts, not here but on other websites and a lot of people were very satisfied with provera, their AF started within a couple days of stopping it so I am hopeful. If it doesn't start, they will again check me for pg, well will see. Good luck! I am glad to hear that I am not alone! Leah
hi Leah! you are most definitely NOT alone!!! that is encouraging that the provera seems to be working out ok for you so far. I'm nervous about it. Will you keep us posted please?
I should hear from the dr today (they are closed on Fridays and the test was done "stat" yesterday so if she doesn't call me today I'm gonna be pissed! cannot wait the weekend!!). I guess if it's bfn which it probably is, then I'll start the provera too.
I don't chart or anything but I was watching cm but it's so confusing I have it all the time, sometimes clear & stretchy, sometimes white and globby, who the heck knows what's what!!! :)
I'm going through the same situation. Last AF was 6-10 and have had 4 BFN HPT. Had a blood test done on Tuesday, but it came back - too. I am scheduled for a follow up apt next Wed and am nervous. We've only been TTC since June and I have been taking prenatal vitamins since that time. My cycles are usually fairly predicable so I am really nervous that something might be wrong. I am trying to stay positive, but never have I been soooo late.
