New to all of this and confused by my odd situation, any experienced ttc people help??

This might get long!
7 months ago I started taking the pill, before that I'd had no hormonal contraception for years and had a regular 29 day cycle. So started pills, all ok for a few months, then periods, or withdrawal bleeds just stopped. I stopped taking the pill incase I was pregnant and to try and figure it out. Still no bleeding, Dr did blood tests, def no pregnant. Concluded the pill had just messed everything up and to give it time. Decided then that hormones not for me and asked for the copper coil, they wouldn't do it becuase of the missing periods and not being able to be 100% that I wasn't pregnant. Was told to go back on pill for three weeks and then following a neg pregnancy test they'd do it. Did that, had coil in, all good. Until DP decided that that evening was the perfect time to say 'actually now would be a good time for us to try for that baby we've been talking about' So back off to clinic I go and have coil taken out, to the seemingly endless amusement of the nurses!

So that was almost four weeks ago, I still haven't had a period. It's now almost 5 months since I did. I did have some light bleeding for a few days after the coil came out and I assume it was to do with that. On advice of Dr I am now attempting to chart, although I only started that a few days ago, and I bought a load of ovulation test things. I've been using them every day, no positive, just faint lines. The temperature has gotton higher each day so far which seems odd to me too. I have no idea where my cycle is or what to expect and it's starting to bug me now.

Anybody have any ideas? or assurances that my body hasn't just stopped working!?

I don't have any advice for you I'm afraid, but just wanted to say hope things start working out for you soon.

My own experience with the pill was fine the first time I came off it (only took couple of months for cycles to settle down after about 5 years of constant use), but after DS was born and I went back on it I got some breakthrough bleeding for the first time ever, and when I came off again to start TTC for second time I had long periods (lasting 10 or more days) for the first 4 months. Doc said it would sort itself out, and seems to have now.

I guess all these hormones can make our bodies do weird things...

Fingers crossed yours sorts itself out ASAP. This waiting game is all very frustrating isn't it?
