Ladies-your Thoughts Are Needed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted: 11-24-06 02:07am
Ladies - hoping I can have your input or
thoughts.........
As some of you may have already read my
past posts, I came off the pill in june
after using it for 12 years. I think I
may be experiencing post-pill amenorrhea
b/c my af's have been 45, 50 & 51 days
apart. Went to see the doctor, had the
tests done and everything seemed to come
back normal (hormones, no pcos, no
blockage, etc...).
If my next af is around 50 days or so
again, then I am not to get af until
x-mas, so I wouldn't expect to be
ovulating (but not entirely sure if I even
am?!) until about 14 days before af is due
(sometime around dec.11 or 12th).
However (and this has happened twice
before in past af's), it is cd20 for me
today and as of 3 days ago, I started
experiencing very slight cramping and a
bit more cm discharge. Today my bb's were
a bit tender for a few hours but feel fine
now?!
Any idea what my body may be doing? Am I
reading a bit too much into this? It's
almost as if I am ovulating, but shouldn't
be for quite some time now. The hubby and
I started ttc about cd10 (and will
continue through to cd37 - dear lord!) to
make sure we cover all dates b/c I have no
idea when next af may show up, therefore
have no idea when to expect o date!
Help! Just thought other's advice would
be helpful thanks so much!!
And my apologies for making this such a
long post to read!

no apologies for giving us all the
information that is what we need. I too
just stopped birth control (in may) and
have had the same frustrating experiences
with my cycle. If you think your
ovulating you very well might be, your
cycle may be coming back to a "normal"
cycle length if you started o'ing on day
17 like you describe then you would expect
af on day 31 thats a pretty typical cycle.
I would wait until day 41 or so and see
what is going on then, I know that is a
long time but with your confused cycle it
only makes sense to see if you have any
symptoms before you start testing. Also I
would keep bd'ing (baby dancing) every
other day for as long as you can.

Amber - thank you for your thoughts!!!
Although it doesn't sound right, i'm glad
that someone else is experiencing the same
frustrating situation as I am. I thought
it would be easier than this to get
pregnant!!!
I bought one bottle of ovulex though to
see if
1. I will actually ovulate this time
&
2. If it will regulate my cycles a bit
more!!! (at this point, even a 35 day
cycle would be welcomed!!!!
Have you looked into taking it to help
you? I researched it quite a bit before
buying it, and thought I would try it. I
have noticed more cm, but nothing else too
much right now. They say it takes 2 weeks
for it to kick in and start working, and
i'm only on day 5! Ahhh, everything is
such a long wait!
But thanks again for your advice. I will
watch my temp's and see how things are
going around cd41-43. I have had quite
low temp's the past 2 mornings, but it
could be from being so tired as well! I
really wonder how much your temp is
supposed to "rise/spike" if and once you
are pregnant? Do you think it's that much
more noticeable?
Good luck, keep me posted on how things go
for you, and i'll let you know how the
ovulex works if you're interested!
Poor dh is dying.....Bd'ing every 2nd
night since cd10 and i'm only on cd25!!
Poor guy - I haven't told him yet just how
long we actually have to go!!! (until
cd37 or 38!!!)

What are the short hand words for cd, af
and what is 45 to 50 days apart? I am a
bit lost with the new terms

Cd is cycle day, a/f is aunt flo (period),
where she has put 45-50 days apart she
means the length of her cycle! It can all
be abit confusing sometimes!!

Yeah it can all be pretty frustrating
(both trying to get pregnant and the
"short hand")
i really haven't been trying anything
special the past few months. I think if I
"skip" this period i'm going to see the
doctor and see what she has to say. I
also think i'll start bbt'ing (basel body
temping.)
from what i've read if your pregnant your
temperatures will continually rise after
your o'date with possibly a dip right
after you o but before implantation. But
I am not an expert on bbt at all.

Thanks ladies - sorry, I know the
shorthand is confusing.....I don't even
know all of them yet! Lol!
Well, we will be bd'ing again
tonight....Even i'm getting exhausted!!!!!
But, it's all worth it isn't it?!
I've been having some really strange dizzy
spells the past 2 days, they come on
quick, last about 30-45 seconds, and then
go away....Weird.
Anyways, i'm still praying like mad that
this could be our lucky month....Well, I
mean next month when I can actually
test!!!!!!
My basal temps have been really low the
last few days, however, it's been around
-35 degrees celcius here for the past 4
days, and i'm freezing at all times in my
house!!!!!!!!!
Good luck and keep me updated on how you
do!
thanks so much!!
And my apologies for making this such a
long post to read!
