Cycle woes

This is just going to be a feel-sorry for myself rant, I'm afraid, but it would be good to know if anyone else has been in the same boat ( Read more... )

ttc, anovulatory cycles

Have you been given anything to induce a period? If I were you I'd get a second opinion from a doctor and see if they can give you provera or something to induce your period.

I second this.

And have you been tested for PCOS? That's one of the main causes such long cycles.

I have no cysts, but I do have a touch of the FSH/LH imbalance.

I quit ovulating after my miscarriage. After a 93 day cycle I finally saw the doc (by that point it had been over a year since the m/c) and it was determined that even though I didn't have the cysts, I was in the "PCOS family" and I started being treated for that.

Oh, you poor thing. I agree, get a second opinion, especially since you're using assisted reproduction which makes the whole thing that bit more complicated. Why are the doctors refusing to give you provera? 103 days sounds like you've waited quite long enough ( ... )

I went off HBC last August. I have yet to ovulate. My longest cycle was 180 days (nope not a typo). FertilityFriend actually had me split my chart because it was too long. I went out to dinner with my "best" friend last week who spent almost 45 minutes telling me in detail all the changes she was experiencing now that she was pregnant. She even had the balls to say "I thought you guys were going to start trying now too." I've been to the doc twice and if it's not my thyroid (which so far it isn't) then she doesn't know what it could be because everything else looks normal, but to "give it some more time." I have an appointment at the end of the month and hopefully she will do more bloodwork. (she's really the nicest person and doctor; i'm just frustrated with the situation.)

I know what you're going through. It's terrible and totally sucks.

(PS. didn't mean to sound bitchy or anything. just sometimes knowing that someone else was going through the same thing helped me out. I hope everything gets sorted out soon.)
