i havent had a regular period in 8 months

Postby bubberkakas » Mon May 26, 2008 12:45 am

i came off my pill 8 months ago because me and my partner decided to try for a baby. i already have a 4 year old son with my ex partner and i fell pregnant with him just after coming off my pill.
the thing is i havent had a regular period since coming off my pill. sometimes it can be up to 50 days between my periods.
ive been to the doctor but he told me to wait a year.
we desperately want a baby and im so worried as it seems my periods will never get back to normal.
please could someone give me some advice or let me know if you have been in a similar situation. im only 23 so i hope my age isnt a problem. please give advice if you can.

Hello hon!!!

Just a quickie....I came off the pill in August '06, and had a period 45 days later, and then 54 days later, and then nothing for 8 months!!! I know how frustrated you are, but the fact that you are actually having periods should mean that you are ovulating. (I wasn't!)

The pill can take up to a year, somtimes longer, to get out of your system, so they would say wait a year. In the meantime, you could try Agnus Castus (Google it) tablets from health food shops to try to naturally regulate your cycles. They are ideal for women who have just come off the pill, and will encourage ovulation. You are supposed to take the tablets from the first day of your period to mid-cycle, and then stop them for the second half of your cyclem jus in case you become pregnant. Holland and Barrett do them.

If you have still not conceived after a year, go back to your GP. The best thing you can do is try to relax (I know it's easier said than done), eat well, get plenty of exercise, and have loads of sex throughout the month. Also, start taking folic acid if you are not already.

I ended up being referred to Gynae docs, and had loads of investigations where they diagnosed PCOS. I ended up on fertility treatment to kick start ovulation, and am now nearly 29 weeks pregnant. HTH and good luck. Why don't you become a member and join us in the members pregnancy forum? There are loads of women in there in the same situation as yourself, and the girls are great for advice. :lol: xxxx

thank you so much for replying.
its really good to know that im not alone.
i will join because although ive got lots of family none of them understand how i feel.
my mum has got 6 children, my sister has got 5, and my other sister and three brothers have got 3 children each.
none of them have had any problems concieving, so i do feel like the odd one out.
