I am starting to feel like my body is failing me! I know I have not been TTC for very long, (8 months), but with no AF....it is hard to stay positive. I have only had one AF in 8 months, and happened to be away for work when I ovulated...go figure!! (I go away for work once a year!!) I am envious of those in their 2WW, (as crazy as that sounds). I am wanting so badly to have a normal AF, so that we can give it an honest effort! I feel like we are bd'ing all the time, but we are getting no where because of my missing AF! My doctor's appointment is not for another month....this is so frustrating! I am feeling so down...CD108:(

I'm so sorry you are going through these problems. CD108 that's awful. I can understand how you must be feeling so blue. Have your af's always been like this or is a recent thing? is this the first time you'll be seeing a doctor about it? or have you had problems in the past.
I know it's difficult, but just believe it will be sorted out in time, believe that and it will help you get through it.

My AF's were regular before I went on the pill and while I was on the pill. During that time (around 7 years), my cycle must have changed. I have now been off the pill for around 8 months, and have only had one AF.
I have seen the doctor once already, and he said to wait until it had been 6 months. So now I am just waiting for my next appointment....but the wait is a little long, they are so busy.
Thanks for you kind words!:)

That;s awful. Poor you, one consolation though it that your nearing the end of the six months now and not starting off at the beginning of it. Another consolation is that you have had an af, I know it was 108 days ago, but an af is an af. I haven't heard of that problem before, but it must be common enough if the doctor suggested waiting six months, it must happen.
As I said before, hard as it is, try and keep your spirits up and believe that this will all come good. Who would have thought we'd be facing all these trials and tribulations on this ttc journey.
Keep us informed on how you get along.

Hey girl. I really don't have much advice because I haven't had any problems w/ AF coming. But I wanted to tell you that you're in my prayers. I have only been trying, this go around, for 2 months so far, but I really do sympathize with those who have been doing this so long. I know it must be hard, but you have to stay positive. Don't stress out about it. They say that stress can't make your AF late, but it can cause you to not ovulate which in turn means no AF. So try not to stress because it can affect your cycle. I work w/ a girl who is young and healthy and went off bc and is now on cd70ish I think. I know how hard it is trying to keep TTC from consuming your life though, and I wish you luck. Hugs, hugs, hugs!!

Thanks gals! I'm just feeling really down right now about the whole process....maybe AF is on her way!!;) Wouldn't that be great!
It is great knowing that I am at the end of the "6 month" wait. Hopefully my doctor will have a game plan for me. I hate the idea of having to take medication though...that is exactly why I went off the pill earlier than we expected....to let my body have time to regulate itself. (Lot of good that did!)
We definately are not stressing about the whole TTC part, (we are bd'ing because we want to!;))it is just my body that is stressing my out. I always had this fear of infertility...and now it seems like it may be coming true.
I guess only time will tell! Thanks for listening!:angel:

Don't worry about infertility, I think a lot of women have a deep down fear of that. On one hand you think I'll probably get pregnant straight away and then on the other hand, you think something is going to be wrong.
I know it's easy to say, but just do try and keep the faith. It's not unheard of to take months for your af to get back to normal after stopping bc. I was only reading about it in my fertility book last night! Big hug to you and us all.

Nothing new to report...still as frustrated as ever!
My doctor is now on vacation for 3 weeks which sucks. I have the option of seeing his replacement, but I'd rather see my doctor. So, I guess I will just wait until my complete physical, which is just under a month away.
Until then, I'll be patiently waiting for something to happen!
Thanks for checking in on me! How are things going with you?

Oh I'm sorry to hear that, very frustrating, but you should still keep BD'ing and checking your CM to watch out for EWCM as you haven't seen af for a long time, it could happen at ANY time, when you least expect it. It must be very difficult, but trust that eventually everything will work out fine.
I'm ok thanks, I'll be 1dpo tomorrow. Hopefully very very soon you will be counting your dpo's as well. As I said keep watching out for signs very carefully, I'm sending a virtual hug xx

I have to ask, do you exercise lots? Like more than usual? I used to be a runner (25 miles plus a week) and I'm not skinny (5'5 135lbs when running) so I didn't have low body fat but I didn't ovulate for almost 1.5 years. The whole time we were bd'ing and I never ovulated. Just pages and pages of temps with no peak. It was unbelievably frustrating but as soon as I realized my running may be why I wasn't ovulating I stopped running. It was hard since I loved to run, but I want a baby more. My cycle started within 2 months or so. Good luck to you!!

Thanks for the help everyone....it is very comforting knowing that you all understand.
No, I'm not a runner, but I do walk my two dogs everyday. I am 120lbs, 26 years old, have no major health concerns, do not smoke, do not drink....so I'm not quite sure what is going on.
I just wish my appointment was tomorrow!
Thanks again!

Well you sound very healthy to me!! Keep us posted and try not to stress about it (I'm better at giving advice than taking my own).
