ARGGH!!! Long cycle after BCP!!!


So I am now on CD32 and still no AF. Apparently I am going to have long cycles off the pill. I went to my Gynae and he did a ultrasound. He says my lining looks thick so he expects I should be getting my period soon.

In addition I did some tests recently and the results say that my prolactin levels are high. The doctor gave my a prescription for DOSTINEX. TWO TABLETS!! LOLLOL Yes two!! I am supposed to take half a tablet every 7 days for weeks. Then he will test the prolactin levels again. If still high they will do CT scans or MR scans. Apparently prolactin is produced in the brain and it affects ovulation and can cause long periods....

Watching how this pans out. My period does feel like it's near though....

I'll be tyrying to chart this month so that I can have a better idea of what's happening......

I'm anxious and apprehensive......

Good luck hun, i had long cycles after coming off the pill initially but then they seemed to settle at around 30 - 32 days (still quite long but within the norm!). x

Mine seem to have gotten shorter since coming off the pill, before the pill I was every 28 days, now it seems to be every 24 days or so.

Hey Vickie - at least with a shorter cycle, there is less waiting time between AF and ovulation! My friend recently told me that her cycle varies from 26 days to 42.

Wow Poppy, I'm glad my cycle lengths don't vary like that, I think I'd keep the HPT industry in business if it did and drive my DH up the wall at the same time
