CD58, losing hope

I've been off contraception since January, with fairly regular cycles of 33-35 days but no obvious sign of ovulation. I take my BBT and track CM but as yet I'd say I haven't ovulated. I have endometriosis too but this is low level and gynecology have discharged me from their care last year.

Last month, my GP offered to do a CD21 test on CD26 which came back negative (as expected) and... Then, nothing. My period has completely disappeared. I'm currently on CD58. No temp spiked/CM changes, but extra symptoms - nausea, cramps, exhaustion etc. I've been told to do a pregnancy test every week until AF arrives, then book in for a second CD21 to give it another go.

I'm so frustrated, after nearly a year of TTC to have felt like I took a step forward and now have taken a giant step back. It's so hard having spent most my life practically being told even thinking about unprotected sex would result in pregnancy to now be trying for nearly a year with my DH and to be getting nowhere. We're both early 30s so age isn't a factor but is a consideration for us to have 2. I just needed to have a vent as my mum is on full "when will I be a grandma?" mode and I don't feel like I have anyone to whine at!

Anyone else want to join in my little pity party?

I found two tests in the internet cheapie. I think the one is faulty as the other didn't come up either. Well, for those two seconds it was wonderful thinking I was. I'm gutted, but grateful for that tiny moment

I've noticed the OPK was put in the pregnancy test packet... I'll be sending them a right snottogram later... look... how bad is this? Phah.. still for some off reason, I needed that pick me up

Hi @Mycrazylife85 so sorry for your rollercoaster day. I don't know whether the two minutes of joy at least makes the negative ok. Give them a right grumpy email!

I've finally had AF today, which means my CD21 test falls on... Christmas Eve. Need to see if my GP is open or not, or whether it'll be another month (or 69 days...) wasted if I can't get a blood test that day!

Fingers crossed for you @PlanBea, if not could you arrange to pick up the blood slip and go to the walk in at your local hospital?

Hi @Mycrazylife85, my GPs is open on the right day and has a nurse appointment available - a Christmas miracle! I'm hoping my MMR vaccine in the middle of what should be my follicular phase doesn't send my period off scared again.

How are you getting on today?

How are you doing today @Sarah5678? Any sign of AF yet?

Hey!
Nope no AF yet. However, I randomly started doing some opks and I got a very strong positive yesterday so I am hoping I have finally ovulated! Even if this is not my month...at least AF should be here in the next 2 weeks ready to start again. By that time my cycle will have been 90 days! X

Mycrazylife85 · 02/12/2019 21:51

That's great news @PlanBea - a Christmas miracle indeed, you're not wrong there 😂 cd68 for me... two days till my doctors appointment. Thank goodness!!!

Mycrazylife85 · 03/12/2019 22:36

Tomorrow is the day.

Post results appointment tomorrow. I'm excited and nervous.

Cd70 tomorrow. I have every reason to believe they'll tell me everything is fine but with it being cd70 I think I can justify saying that it's not. I'm annoyed at the prospect of having to try and get a re-diagnosis of PCOS as my last scan showed no cysts (2017 and on the pill) and it was 18 years ago I was diagnosed (aged16), so they appear to want to start again. We will see what they have to say. I really really hope for someone to help me

@Mycrazylife85 how did it go? Fingers crossed for you x

Hello @PlanBea thank you. Doctor referred me for a scan as I have to have it again before they can diagnose pcos (again). She talked a lot about making sure I'm 'chilling out', 'having regular sex', 'testing once a month'. Not much emphasis was given to my lack of periods, didn't appear to come across if anything of concern ☹️ and lots of emphasis on me wanting to get pregnant. In reality the lack of periods is my biggest issue at the moment. I fibbed a bit about the amount of times we have sex. In reality it's 1/2 times a week, maybe a week of nothing then back again. I may have said 2/3. In reality I've felt a bit pants recently but there was so much emphasis on getting pregnant and not my missing periods...

She was pregnant herself.. 😞

My testosterone came back fine but my LH and FSH showed one was just over double the other... whichever that's was. Apparently that in itself indicates potentially pcos, 🤷‍♀️

I've got to get bloods done whenever my period arrives day 1-5. Then come back in January at the 12 month mark...

CD71 tomorrow..

I'm wondering if I can do anything to help me along naturally..
thank you again for asking

Mycrazylife85 · 07/12/2019 20:06

Cd73 for me. Been looking into Agnus Castus now. Such conflicting information I've just decided to leave it (for now) 😏
