AF Missing in action?

[BeMyLilBaby]

Hi all

just interested to hear from any of you whos AF is missing in action (other than those who are PG obviously!!) and youre reasonings as to why??

i am, particularly interested to hear from larger ladies, as i am large myself and am worried this is the reason, AF missing when TTC =Stress!! with me it also might be stress and the (non-hormonal) coil having been removed, just interested to hear from any in similar situation. x

bump cmon i cant be the only one

Just bumping- no help, sorry. What's AF?

Hi BeMy, I am on cd 44 with no af and a bfn last week, ttc#2 for 3 months now and have ov at different times.I am larger in that size 18-20 never lost dd baby weight, oh and also greedy and lazy. I was 3 stone lighter when dd conceived.
Have not used anything apart from condoms so no ideas there and have not been stressed since changing jobs last year.
I ahve no idea what has happened this month, sorry not much use but maybe some-one else can advise.

thanks giggly, we seem to be similar sizes, im 5"9 and was also about 3 stones lighter when concieved baby i lost, just wondering what to do! DP says im stressing myself over nothing, am currently dieting but not seen results yet! would like to hear more form you giggly x

bmlb - hello again!
Should have said on the other thread, that I was a size 18 until about 3 months ago when I went to gp about not being pg after 13 months of ttc. First thing she said to me was to lose weight, as this could cause irregular periods and prevent ttc. (she did refer me too though)

I have now lost 1 stone 5 llbs - still another 1/2stone to go.

I have done weight watchers and been really motivated this time.

Bellie have you now concieved? Well done on weight loss! i am trying to diet and exercise just feel so stressed as want to concieve so much!! xx

No bmlb - I am still trying - undergoing tests on NHS and have to wait until next period starts to book in for some more. However, I guess I want to optimise my chances so am really trying hard on the weight loss.
I conceived my dd naturally but I was a stone lighter than what I am now (so maybe I should aim for a stone rather than 1/2 stone!)

I've jsut chatted to some friends and think perhaps, im over eracting, think i might just need to chill out and see what happens, thanks for all your help all tho, your so nice xx

BMLB, I'm also very large (size 20-22), and my AF goes missing from time to time. I've had very irregular cycles since coming off the pill nearly three years ago. Was diagnosed with PCOS, but cycles are getting more regular with different supplements such as angus castus and B6. Longest cycle I ever had was 116 days. I've been taking temps to confirm ovulation, and I do have anovulatory cycles quite a bit.

Stress also keeps AF away, two years in a row it was taking forever and then came just as soon as I was off work for the holidays (and thus stress level went down)!

Good luck to you!
