Haven't had a period for 100 days

[TheGoddessFreyja]

Today marks 100 days since not having a period. I am well and truly fed up 😮‍💨

We've been TTC since last July which is when I came off the mini pill. My cycles have been all over the place (ie, ranging from 31, 52, 43 day cycles)

I guess this is more of a rant really and an ask if there's any hope for me? I'm 29 and becoming a mother is all I've ever dreamed about so it's just starting to get me down. It just feels like it's becoming impossible.

I use ovulation tests and also check my BBT every morning when I wake up and some cycles I ovulate and some I don't. I've had ultrasound scans and blood tests and the Dr isn't concerned as no PCOS showed up on my scans so I can't even blame lack of period on that..

The Dr has referred me to the gynae clinic but who knows how long that will be before I get an appointment. I'm just feeling a bit fed up and down so just need a safe place to talk as I've not told anyone that we are trying for a baby apart from my sister. I'd say I'm average size if a tiny bit overweight but I work out regularly so I will be continuing that so I'm optimal BMI to be referred to the fertility clinic once we've hit a year of trying.

If you've been through the same please let me know and if you are going through it too come here and we can keep eachother sane 😮‍💨🤣

I’m so sorry you’re going through this 😥 it’s so tough. I’m not saying at all you have what I do but I was the same situation as you I came off everything and no period everybody said it takes time etc.

in the end we paid to have a private fertility MOT I think it was about £300 but worth every penny, they found out I have low AMH (3) as I’m 30, we’re now in our first round of IVF but that’s because I’ve got other things going on but the consultant said for some women with low AMH they give you medication to make you ovulate and scans then you have a “window” where you can try naturally.

i know it’s not cheap but if you were able to get a fertility MOT at least it would put your mind at rest, really hope everything works out ok for you.

Oo a fertility MOT sounds like a really good idea for me to do. I'd honestly spend anything right now to see what's going on if it will speed things up. Where did you find it? was it online or through a private hospital? I'll have a look into that for sure.

Oh hun it's so hard all this TTC malarkey isn't it 😔 so tiring. I really hope things work out for you and you get your little one 🩷 xxx

I would say the same - arrange a fertility consult privately and see what they say. One thing to bear in mind when choosing is whether you would continue to do private treatment there, as clinics often insist on doing their own sets of tests etc so you could end up paying twice if you move elsewhere for treatment. Most private clinics would offer baseline testing/consult. Good luck.
