Where is my period?

[Taurean]

Hi Reggie!

It can take a while for your body to become regular again - and I mean regular for ovulation and periods as well. When was your last period?

[ReggieB]

Im not entirely sure! as I used the pill to skip periods. I had a 2 day light bleed when i stopped the pill but I have been told that it doesnt mean anything. It is just so fustrating seeing the little pebbles every day for three weeks - surely something should of happened by now!!
But its been over a month now and no period / cramps. I am wondering if this Maybe bay thing is crap?

Quite a number of girls have posted negative thoughts about Maybe Baby. I'm getting some OPK's tonight on the way home but I'm going for the POAS type, steering clear of Maybe Baby. Friends of mine had complained about it too.

OK, no period as yet. As much as it is frustrating, you just need to sit tight and wait. Maybe get some different OPK's to try and I strongly suggest you look at this website Ovulation Calendar and Ovulation Chart - FertilityFriend.com and start charting. You will need to get a basal body temperature thermometer (about $15 at the chemist).

Do you remember if you were regular before you started skipping? Also, just because you stopped taking the pill, it doesn't mean you will automatically get your period. It might take a few weeks and that's if your cycles are somewhat regular. I'm sorry hon but you just need to give it time. Definitely try charting though. I, and many other girls in these forums, have found it very useful and interesting.

Oh, and keep going through the forums on this site. They are fabulous!!!

Thank you so much for your help your wonderful! I will stop and get some tonight for myself and this Maybe Baby thing is going to get ditched x

Hey ladies just a word of advice, go onto Lullaby Conceptions website and order your bulk packs of ovulation kits as they would get very costly buying from the chemist or supermarket. You can also buy your basal body temperature thermometer and bulk pregnancy testers also.

Hope i helped.

hey i was just wondering did u stop on the 8th of dec? or november? (im presuming november as the 8th was yest)

Because you used the pill's to skip period's it may take your body quite awhile to get back into any sort of routine.

Goodluck

Hey ReggieB,

It can take some time for your cycle to return post OCP - for some women it is reasonably quick, others it can take a few months. It is worth consulting a Naturopath or Herbalist to rebalance your hormones and get your cycle regulated. Herbs work wonders for getting your body back into its natural rhythm, as does acupuncture.

Hold tight, keep an eye on your temps and cervical mucous, and allow your body a little time to rediscover its natural cycle.

All the best!
