Q: Desperate For Advice About Everything Pregnancy

Hello all

i am new to this but I need advice because I am finding that doctors are not helping right now. Ok I have never had a regualr cycle so when I was 14 I went on the pill and stayed on it until last august. I was 21. Now it has been almost a year and I had a period last october and on june 3rd. Since june 3rd I spot a lot and has gone to my doctors often. Now my bf of 7 years and I want to try but not try to have a baby. Sounds odd but we just dont use birth control, and we havnt since december. I was thinking about taking my temps. I went to my doctor and he put me on progesterone pills to take for a week a month then I get a period every month, but when I took it in may I had a period for 3 weeks almost until june 3rd. He wants to put me back on birthcontrol, but I dont wanna. So I got a second opinion and she sent me for an ultrasound and it came back normal, and I had a pap test and that came back normal. My bf and I have sex regularly, but for the past 3-4 days I have had this weird spotting first it was a bright red, but watery looking, then it turned brown with clots. But it only occurred when I went to the bathroom. And I have had cm but not a great amount. Sorry to be graphic but since I dont know when I ovulate or if I even do and I have some pregnancy signs at the moment. Has anyone gone through this or has any advice of what to do next. This is all new to me and so many woman I know have had trouble conceiving and I would rather not have to go through what they have to get pregnant.
I am just so frustrated cuz all the doctors are not giving answers or options.
Thank you.

You need to find a doctor who is willing to start some tests. If it has been a year and a half since you got off of bc and you still aren't really having much of a cycle, you need a doctor who will look into this. The few things that your second doctor did are a good start but they can do bloodwork at different points in a cycle to tell what is going on and if you are or are not ovulating. Are you going to a regular family practice doctor or have you been to an ob/gyn?

Hi ,
thank you for replying first of all. I had a family doctor for years and he was the one who did not seem too concerned about it and wanted to put me back on the birth control pill when I told him I didnt want to. So I found a woman family doctor that I go to know and she is referring me to a gyno on monday. It really made me angry that my first family doctor did not listen to me and he didnt seem too concerned. I told him that I am worried that I am not having a regualr cycle, but I want to find out why off birthcontrol. He seemed focused on just making me have my period.

So off to the gyno I go next week, wish me luck :)

Glad to hear that you are going to see a gyn. They have some basic blood tests they can run to check your hormones to see what is going on. When I got of the pill to get pregnant with #1, I had to use progesterone several times to get my period back to normal and then when it did return, I still wasn't ovulating. I had to take clomid for that. It took over a year for my body to start doing what it was supposed to do on its own. Hopefully you will get some answers to your questions. Let me know how it goes.
