OFF bcp but still no AF
| Mon, 07-31-2006 - 8:26am |
I haven't gotten my AF since June 13th!!! I feel like she's never gonna show and I will never be able to have children again! I took a test yesterday and bfn! So I am not pg! I just don't get it. Last time I was on the bcp for 7 years went off it and got my AF next month and pg the next! Now been on it for less than 6 months and nothing (but had a child, and bf for a year till I went back on bcp in January)...I am so frustrated, I just want to get this ttc thing into action! My MD won't do a blood test or give me anything till I miss if for three months, but won't adding more hormones just screw it up more if I am truly hormone screwed up. Maybe if some of you could give me hope after you had this type of experience and still got your AF or be pg???

hi Leah, I'm not sure if you want to hear my scenerio but... I went off bc in May, lmp (when stopped bc patch) started 5/10 and I haven't started af since. I had a blood test on 7/5 got bfn. last hpt was bfn on 7/16. I scheduled a dr appt for 8/9 in case I don't get af by then to find out what's going on. But yup it can take 3 months for normal af to resume after stopping bc so everyone keeps telling me. uggh I feel your pain, it sucks waiting right?!?! I was sure af was going to come when I went camping last week (worst possible time) but she has yet to show herself.....
keep us posted!
hi! that is a good idea to keep a record to show dr if no af in a few months. I'm not temping, I do watch for cm but I feel like I have cm all the time so I'm never really sure what's just discharge or what's the real deal. the other day I thought I had ewcm, we had bd'd the night before which was good timing! but after 3 months of waiting for af I don't feel confident in my judgement with cm or other symptoms etc.
By the way, I've been on this board since I went off bc and there was a woman posting with the same dates as me who got bfp first try in June (off bc in May) so you never know, keep trying and it CAN happen even before you get af. you can ovulate w/out af, just means no uterus lining to shed if no af...
anywho, keep us posted please! I'm glad I'm not the only one in the world off bc with no af!!!
