Hi, My husband and I are TTC. However, I was on the BCP for 7 years and stopped last sept before we got married (because i knew we were gonna start trying). Well i got my period regularly all the way up until Nov. Then it never came from dec-april. Finally I went to the OBGYN in may and i was put on Provera for ten days. It worked and I got my period after 4 days. Well this month my period never came ( I am not pregnant. So they wanna put me on another round. I am so worried because i have read so many posts about this meaning i can possibly be IF. I pray to got that i am not. I went for blood test last month to test for pregnancy, my thyroids and something else, and everything came back great and i wasnt pregnant.

I just dont know what to do with myself my mind is everywhere. I have no idea what my next steps should be.

Someone please help!

Slow down on hopping on the IF train. It cane take a while (sometimes close to a year) for your body to regulate again. Good blood results are a good sign. Do you temp at all? You may want to start after the next round of Provera and go from there.

First-BREATHE!

Birth control makes your cycle go out of wack. And being on it for 7 years, I am sure it is still trying to regulate.

If your doctor was concerned as to why you haven't been getting your period, he would do something about it. Hopefully your cycle regulates soon for you.

I HIGHLY advise signing up for Fertiltiy Friend(click the ticker in anyone's siggy below). It is free and is the best way to know that you are ovulating. You may, or may not be ovulating since coming off BCP.(Which is NORMAL after BCP).

So, start temping with FF, relax, and welcome to the board!

I assume you mean how do you chart?

How many cycles did you have between stopping bc in sept to nov? And, to be clear, you only had them after april bc of provera?

I understand you may be worried. I stopped bc in Jan and no AF. Until May when i went on Provera. Turns out, I have plenty of reserve, hormones are fine etc. But for some reason my ovaries need a kick in the pants. My RE is putting me on Clomid (and will be monitored), she said I only need a "Whiff" since there is no other major reason my ovaries arent releasing eggs.

So no worries, it could be something simple with an easy fix. I would follow the advice from the others. And if you dont get AF and OB wants to do more Provera, I would get a consult from an RE.

GL!!

You used Provera once, have been TTC for 6 months and are already on Clomid? How did all the other tests (SA, HSG, etc) come out?

alansbach · June 2011

I had three cycles one in Sept, one in Oct and one in Nov. and yes i only got my cycle in may because of Provera. I am going to the OBGYN tomorrow and getting some blood work down by her request to make sure i am not pregnant.

Then i will start a second round of Provera for ten days.

Can't really TTC without ovulation and since i didn't have AF for nearly 6 months they wanted to check everything. I have never ovulated on my own since bcp and just finished 2nd round of provera and did hsg. Tests were all fine. RE said since lack of ovulation is the only issue that she wanted to try a monitored clomid cycle to (a) hopefully induce ovulation or (b)get a better idea of what my follies and hormones are doing around those times.It will be an everyother day schedule of sonograms and bloodwork. It will be next cycle, after another round of provera. Around early august.

Yep, I definitely agree with Kdg and Mel. You should definitely start charting.
