Hey girls I'm not really very good at this kind of thing, and I hope it's ok with you all. I have been living in a foreign country now for 4 years and I don't have any female company here, so I am feeling a little isolated.

I will be going into my 4th month soon since coming off BCP, without any bleed whatsoever. I didn't even have a withdrawal bleed after coming off the pill. I feel terrible, my skin is terrible, moods are terrible and my stomach has been terrible for a couple months now.. by all intense of purposes I feel like I should be on my period. But everyday I become more and more frustrated with it all (I'm defo not pregnant).

I had an internal scan at the gyno. roughly 6 weeks ago, in which she said not to worry and all the usual stuff to try make me not worry But I find myself turning into an ugly monster every day now! My next Gyno appointment is in mid August so that'll be month 5.. I know some of you guys are in the same position as me, and have been waiting even longer, and I feel like such a pain to even be complaining so soon about it >.<

In truth, I have had health problems in one way shape or form throughout my life, and I didn't want this to be one of them! I feel like my body is just always letting me down and it hasn't even officially started yet I have come off the pill in different intervals in my life before and have always gone back to normal straight away. I don't know, is this my own self confidence doing this? Is this my lack of faith in myself preventing this period? On one hand I'm trying to tell myself it's normal, on the other I am preparing myself for failure before it's even begun.

I don't even know what to call this cycle, Limbo? Cycle 1? Month 4 TTC? Cycle 0?? God, I'm so confused >.<

I'm so sorry for this pointless thread.. I haven't been able to sleep tonight and thought I needed to finally get it off my chest.. then maybe I can get some sleep. I do know I need to not worry about it, and not expect too much too soon.. I just really needed to talk to someone.

Thanks girls for taking the time to read some random persons insomniatic ramblings, gonna try mebbe get some sleep now ^^;

Hey Sarah,

Let it all out.....Pheeeewwwww....that's what we're all here for!!!!!

It's never a pointless thread, because someone will be reading it, thinking wow, that's me...or that was me, and will happily tell you their experience. And it's a great thing to get it off your chest to people who know how you're feeling. Main thing is you're not alone!

You're doing the right thing, going to your gyno, best way to get things sorted.

I'm not sure why things aren't going right for you at the mo, but I hope you find out very soon and are on your way to a

Just wanted to send you and lots of and anytime you want to chat/moan/scream etc, log on....we're here!!!!!!!!!

my close friend went through something similar, didnt have a period for months, constantly felt bloated, convinced she was pregnant but no positive test results.

it turned out she had cysts on her ovaries. luckily for her she is now pregnant and her baby is due in october.

dont know if thats any help but there will be loads of people in the same boat as you hun.

Nathyrra, I'm sorry for what you're going through. I came off BCP in February and have 2 cycles of over 60 days, and that felt long enough. So I can understand how you feel - the frustration is incredible, especially since you went to see the doctor and they just said to wait longer!!
I hope everything gets back to normal soon.

Are you eating healthily, getting some sort of exercise, taking any supplements, tried any alternative therapies such as accupuncture or reflexology? There are loads of things that ladies on here have tried and sometimes it's the smallest thing that can help. I'm sure you'll get lots of helpful advice on here and if nothing helps up to your appointment in August at least you've had some company along the way to help pass the time! Good luck xx

I can't imagine what you're going through but you've shown so much patience so far, just try to hold out until Aug when you have youre appointment and then if you're still not convinced about 'not worrying' then make sure you definately discuss it with them, don't allow yourself to walk away feeling like you've been brushed off.

Good luck x

I think the pill can affect different people different as i got a 1st cycle off it then had a blighted ovum. My sil came off it and didnt have an and was seeing a doctor but then had the whole boob thing and tested and she had got pregnant even with . She sadly had a mc 2 weeks later but now 6 months later she pregnant and had a scan and seen the heartbeat so good luck

Thanks girls so much replying! It feels nice to get this kind of stuff off my chest finally!

As far as factors affecting the cycle, I don't know. Possibly. It's been a very tiring year so far with much stress. I have however had these kinds of stresses in the past and it hasn't affected my cycles? God, I want so much to feel proud of my body for doing something right that I feel I might be expecting too much of it!

I do know I am not pregnant, that is for certain. I even wasted 50 HPT's the first month finding that out LOL >.< and since then I haven't really felt motivated for anything. Hopefully the next Gyno. will shed some light for me and maybe kickstart the next period.

Never though I would ever wish to bleed in my whole life! :P

I really appreciate your comments girls, Gives me a little more strength with my patience to wait till August

Sarah.
