So it's now December 5th. My AF (aunt flow) was due November 30th. There are no still no signs of her coming, other than the slight cramps I've been having. I called my doctor last week and the nurse told me I had to wait a few days for AF to arrive, if it still doesn't come, then I was told to call back. Sp, I called today and the doctor talked to me and told me he is going to fax in a prescription for Provera. It's a hormone-based pill designed to help women get their period. I have to take it for 7 days, and *hopefully* after that, AF comes and I can start feeling normal again. God knows I need that right about now. I didn't have a normal period last time either, and I haven't detected ovulation EVER. Since 10/29, something has thrown my body off, completely. I have not had any blood at all since 10/31, and that was minimal spotting that had started on the 29th. All through October- NOTHING. November- NOTHING. Now into December and still NOTHING. Where the heck is my period? I got it normal for September. It was about 6 days long, and according to schedule. Yet, when I was due to get it on November 1, I spotted on October 29th. Now I was set to get it November 30th and I don't even get any spotting? I'm just so frustrated. I'm having such a hard time trying to monitor and keep track of my body. I take my BBT every morning. I simply don't understand what the temperature changes are telling me. The last couple of days it has been higher than average, but the OPK's are negative. Regardless, we are still baby-dancing every other night, but I'm just feeling like there is no point in trying anymore. I FINALLY get a prescription from the doctor for a fertility drug to possibly help us conceive that miracle baby and my body decides to not cooperate at all. So, the 5-pill-prescription sits in my cupboard, waiting. Meanwhile, that's money spent that I don't feel like I got anything from because I haven't been able to take it! Now, I have to spend money and take a prescription to get my period? It just all seems to cruel. To me, if you aren't pregnant your period should show up every month like clockwork, give or take a FEW days. If your period doesn't show up, then you should be pregnant. Plain and simple! Life would be so much easier if things worked this way. Simple, understandable, etc. I am sure a lot of women would be much happier and satisfied in life and with themselves if our bodies, nature and life would just give us some slack when we need it the most.
Anyway, I have been really cheerful the last few days, trying to remain positive and hopeful but right now, I am pretty much spent in positivity. Just an update to my TTC/IF friends... I hope everyone is doing well.
