what you ladies who have been here for months and months go through. I went off BCP in October and had a provera induced period about a month ago. I have been temping and no sign of ovulation, or that my body is doing anything hormonal on its own since. I constantly worry that something is wrong and years of BCP just covered it up. My OBGYN just tells me to wait it out and I know that it takes a while to regulate after BCP, but I spend hours a day just feeling sick to my stomach with stress about it. Days like this all I want to do it cry because I have no idea what is going on, and there is nobody in my life who I can talk to that really understands that. My DH is great, but he can't really understand, and the only women in my life who are at a point where they would be TTGP, are already KU, my best friend in the first month they were trying. So, again, I have only been on here for a little while, and, as I am sitting here feeling sad and sorry for myself, I am thinking about the rest of you ladies and the moments like these I am sure many of you have had...and I just want to give you all a hug...cheesy, I know...
That's my vent...maybe my body is doing something hormonal after all...

Re: I can't imagine...(vent)
I feel ya...my periods were very regular, until we started TTC. Last fall I had a 70 some day cycle, right now I am on 61 or 62. I know everyone that's TTC gets frustrated, but right now I would kill for a regular cycle where I can see consistent O each month. At least then, even with continual BFN, a new cycle starts fairly quicky and new hope can be gained with each cyle. But right now I am stuck....don't know when I will O, if I will O, when this cycle will ever end.
But I had hope today, I recently started using an ovulation microscope rather than OPKs. You look at your saliva each day through the scope and look for a ferning pattern (like crystilized frost/ice on a window) to indicate ovulation. I saw quite a bit of ferning this morning so I am so excited. Hopefully O is really coming.
Hang in there, I know it's tough, but just know any day could be the day you O and can get another shot at conceiving. GL!

Aw Concord- I can definitely relate. I am on CD61 and on Day 3 of Prometrium to start my first AF since going off BCP at the beginning of Jan. It's VERY frustrating, as my chart also shows no O, but I have gotten several + OPKs, so I'm all worried that I have PCOS.
My Gyno says that after my prometrium induced cycle, if I don't start a new AF on my own in a reasonable about of time, then I have to come in to be checked out for further issues. PRAYING there is nothing wrong!
GL!
