Hi All,
Name changed.
Been lurking a lot recently and starting to feel a wee bit fed up with not knowing what's going on.
Mixture of issues here. Just want to know if my feelings are normal?
Started TTC in Jan - stopped pill Xmas time.
Waited till March 4th for a bleed (didn't get a withdrawal at all) - I could go maybe 3 months on the pill with breaks and still not have a withdrawal. No positive OPK.
First 'cycle' was 52 days - got a positive OPK day 39.
Second was 34 days - almost positive OPK.
On the third just now and I'm currently at Day 45 with no sign of AF. No positive OPK and I'm not pregnant.
Also have to add that I've been put on anti depressants because of the symptoms I've been having since stopping Yasmin. Plummeting mood and anxiety. Excess facial/body hair. Acne that just keeps appearing and gained about a stone. I feel like a crazy woman. My mood changes from the lowest of the low to elated.
Going through PCOS tests now but my prolactin, LH & FSH seems normal. Just waiting on Vit D, testosterone and AMH etc but they are taking weeks . Got my ultrasound on 21st July. I was thinking maybe I didn't have PCOS but looking at the cycles I think it seems likely?
DH and I desperately want a wee baba of our own - just celebrated our first anniversary. My anxiety is awful and a new baby is due into the family this month and I'm expected to be super happy and excited about it when all I want to do is cry uncontrollably. I feel an onset of a panic attack even just thinking about how my emotions might let me down when it comes to it. Feel like I might need to up my anti depressants. (Surprise baby - were told when far on in preg with a baby grow big announcement surrounded by whole family) really hurtful tbh...
this particular scenario really aggravates my anxiety/panic feelings.
Are there other reasons for long/ anovulatory cycles apart from PCOS? My periods are quite painful and heavy also when I do get them.
