ARG! FF Ticker

NavyGMWife

Just looked at it when I posted a comment below and there is a number 50!  AF is so late I now have a 50 on my ticker! 

I'm depressed now....I've never had a cycle this long before even before BCP.  I know BCP messes you up but I've come off BCP about 7 months ago for migrane reasons and was off it about 3 months and got a period every month.  Fixed the mirgrane problem went back on and now when I want to come off to make a baby.....working on CD 39 with no end in sight. 

ARG!!

I'm sorry this has been a long cycle.  I'm guessing FF gave you the extra days because of the negative HPTs.  I know most people suggest testing once a week so FF is giving you extra days for future testing.  Good luck.

You're really not that late yet. Try to hang in there, I know it's hard.

Thanks Ladies...it's nice to get extra advice as well.  I know my chart is a mess lol, working on that!

What helped your migranes that you were able to go back on? As soon as I went off, my migranes stopped and I assumed it was just because of the BC. I have no intentions of going back on for fear of getting them again!

I was a mixture of two things that worked for me.  1 was my doctor found a very low dose BCP.  It was the lowest dose possible and she said that she wouldn't give it to most women who were asking for BCP because it was so low. 

Also, I went on Topamax.  I get migranes off BCP and the BCP was making them worse.  So the Topamax started to prevent them off BCP, and I tried the new low dose and That worked so I stayed on it.

 I was a little worried about getting KU with them, but it never happened so I trusted them.

I'm glad you got them under control, they can be so debilitating. I'm lucky that mine haven't continued since going off BC. They even lessene quite a bit after switching from BCP to the Nuvaring, but now that I'm off of any kind of BC completely, they're gone (knock on wood).

Yes, for me it's a family thing.  My mom and grandmother get them.  I get the worst of us lol.  Need the dark room no lights, sick to my stomach, noises are extra loud etc...

I was on Seasonal to try to prevent - for example if my period didn't come maybe they wouldn't come and Being on Seasonal just about KILLED me lol from how worse it made them.

Tried the patch after that and it helped but made me have bad UTI's.

I have tried alot of BCP and hate it all to be honset lol.  I would love to never go back on them and just Track like TCOYF recommends.
