Hi ladies,
So, the answer to this may just be that I need to be patient, but I thought I'd pick your brains :)
I had the mirena iud removed in July, thinking this would give time for my cycles to regulate before ttc in November /December. I had a couple of very heavy periods but the last two or three have been very light, I'm talking probably really only 2 days of bleeding. I've also noticed I am to have minimal CM and definitely no EWCM, although I've only checked externally (sorry for tmi!). On top of this, I've got mild acne for the first time in my life, which flares up in the week or so before my period. I've no idea if I ovulating but I just feel that my hormones must be out of whack. I know it can take a while for everything to normalise (up to a year from what I've read), but I'm getting a bit frustrated as everything seems a bit odd still 6 months after removal.
I've always been a little skeptical of natural remedies, but has anyone used anything good to help regulate hormones after birth control and /or to help with lack of CM and light periods. I'm taking seven seas supplement for ttc and have begun taking EPO up to mid cycle. Have also started drinking pomegranate daily to see if it helps with the light periods. I may be clutching at straws here but if anyone has any ideas of ways to kick-start things that actually work then I'd love to hear them! Also, sorry to be complaining about light periods (don't mean to be insensitive to those with heavy periods), it just makes me worry that my uterine lining must still be thin.
Sending you all lots of baby dust! I feel like I'm probably out for this month as I can feel the acne returning again sigh
