Dear AF, where the hell are you?

Ok so I came off the pill in December after 10 years....Standard withdrawal bleed.

Then I had a 29 day cycle, a 31 day cycle and a 30 day cycle.....

I am currently on DAY 41 of this next cycle and no sign of AF.

Thought I was pretty back straight back to normal as I had 3 normal-ish cycles but this one is just ridiculous!

Anyone else had this after coming off the pill? Can you tell me your experiences of coming off the pill and make me feel better?!!

And no.. Defo not pregnant (I wish I was but defo not this month!)

How can you be sure not PG?

Take a test? Or, found just going to buy one can make AF magically appear!

Done tests!

And also don't think we dtd anywhere near my fertile time... Not even sure if I even had a fertile time this month actually!

Last month I definitely ovulated... Positive OPK, EWCM and definite bbt rise....

This month my bbt has been all over the place... Can't see much of a temp shift at all.

Fertility friend thinks I MAY have ovulated around cd31 (dotted crosshair line on my graph not a definite one) and we didn't dtd at all around that time (I was working weird shifts).

If I did ovulate then, that would explain why AF hasn't come yet but why such a long cycle this month?!

The female body is a strange thing!

Hi Gilly, my cycles were all over the place when I came off the pill in 2011, I've added a photo of the records from my app to my profile to give you an idea/reassure you that it's OK!!

gillywillywoo · 05/05/2013 07:55

Ahhhh thus reassuring thank you becca!!!
Don't think I can see that on the phone app but I will look on my computer today! Thank you! Xx

hey gilly, don't give up just yet. mine turned up yesterday after 41 days. Give it another week or two and then maybe go to the doctors.

gillywillywoo · 05/05/2013 08:33

Thanks mrs cookie... Feeling better now especially as over the last week my temps seem to be consistently higher so I think I probably did ovulate just really really late. I'll give it a week or so.
Booked in for a smear on the 15th... Knowing my luck AF will arrive then!

mrscookie78 · 05/05/2013 09:48

failing that wear white jeans or go swimming .
I know its hard waiting, yes sometimes we do ovulate very late. its all linked to our hormones. I did my temp this am, im 36.1. im sure I won't remember again for days

Beccadugs · 05/05/2013 11:25

Sorry Gilly, I'm public now... See if that works!!

gillywillywoo · 05/05/2013 20:19
