CD49 Starting the "what if's"

in Trying to Get Pregnant

I've posted about this before but now I'm starting to what if everything.  Went off BC on August 8th towards the end of the pack and started AF 3 days later which lasted 4 days.  At 9 days late my dr had me take a blood test which came back negs so she called in 5 days worth of Provera.  After reading everyone's opinions on here, I decided to give nature some more time to takes its course but it never happened.  I have taken 5 or more negative test (I just can't refrain) and am now on CD49 and my 3rd day of taking Provera (I know it can take up to 14 days after the dose).  I just can't help but think what if the provera doesn't work?  what if my baby maker is broken?  I had radiation treatment on a spinal cord tumor when I was 10, what if the radiation made me infertile? what if somehow I got pregnant after the negative tests and it was just too early (most likely not but my thinking wanders that far). what if what it what if!  Ok, I feel better now.

My real question is...what does the dr do if provera really doesn't work the first time?

    Your 'baby maker' is not likely broken. It can takes months for some women coming off BCP to have more regular cycles. My first cycle of BCP was 62 days; I got my period and this cycle seems to be going along just fine for now. When you meet with your doctor, you cam express your concerns, but it is not something that in necessarily abnormal right now for you.

    Were you completely frustrated with waiting?  It's hard not to think about it.

    Yes and no; from my experiences on here, I knew it was very normal. I did test once about a week after AF would have been due and called my doctor about about CD 40 or 45. She told me: stop worrying, have lots of sex, and call her after 60 days. I never did call her back. At the time, we were still using protection anyway (I had wanted at least one cycle with me temping so I could get a feel for how to do it) but ended up stopping on August 28th. Sure enough, I got my first cross hairs on FF a few days later and after that point (which is why I didn't bother calling my dr back), I was just happy that I was appearing to actually ovulate. This cycle, I have added using OPK to, again, help me get a better handle on my cycle, and also making sure to have sex every other day (every day for the 4/5 days around when I ovulated). Now I am 3 DPO and I know I did what I could, and that whatever happens, happens. The waiting doesn't stress me out.

    What you are experiencing is not abnormal. You just got off BC, FFS. You will probably have several more frustrating cycles before it all evens out. Your "baby maker" is not broken.

    Some doctors will have you wait it out, some will rx another round of provera, or possibly another medication. It just depends. But the large majority of people respond to provera, so chances are that you will too.

    I went off BC this august too- aug 9th was my first cycle day. I JUST ovulated a week ago- I was starting to feel like it was never going to happen too. I ordered wondfo opk strips and peed on them for 2 weeks straight til I finally got a positive, and I almost couldn't believe it. Everyone's body is different, I wouldn't be worried just yet. I even made a doctor's appt last Monday because I wanted them to do something for me. Do you use opk strips? What birth control were you on?

    I ordered the Wonfo's last week too!  Just got them this past weekend.  I haven't started using them yet.  Do you think I should?  I thought I just was out for this month and shouldn't waste them since I may not even ovulate yet.  I don't temp yet either.  I was on Reclipsen pills for almost the past 5 years.

    I started using them right away because I was obsessing over it. I got a faint line the first time- which I know is negative, but I thought maybe I missed my surge! It caused me not to drink during the Ravens Steelers game at a bar downtown in Baltimore, and I didn't even O, lol. Then I read a lot of women always have a little detectable LH, just in case this happens to you. Is there any reason you're not temping? They're pretty cheap, so if you don't mind wasting them I'd pee on one every day from here on out. You could really O any day.

    lol I'm with you on that!  I didn't drink for the 2 week wait and hadn't up until this past weekend...what a waste!  I think I'm going to start using the OPKs.  Like you said, they are too cheap not to haha.
