I'm another one in the same boat. It is so nice to find people to commiserate with!
I stopped BCP in Jan 05 and had my first period in August - not quite as long as some of you girls! When I asked the GP about he said 'Oh, that's normal. Anyway, you're young, you've got plenty of years to have a baby - why rush??' Grrr! I could have socked him one! Like it's any of his business when I want to have a baby. Anyway, I have a happy ending - My 2nd cycle after stopping BCP I Ovulated at about CD 55 or something and got a BFP. Now we are TTC #2 and I'm back to endlessly long cycles. At least I have a supportive GP this time who is going to run some tests and try to help me.
It is so frustrating to want to have a baby and you feel like you can't even START TTC until your body decides to come to the party and 'recover' from BCP. I would say go for the provera/clomid routine. I have heard HEAPS of success stories and 9-12 months is really way to long to wait for AF!! Good luck!
Just wanted to know your opinions. I stopped taking the BCP 10 weeks ago and have not yet had AF. Started going to acupuncture this week and at least the terrible PMS symptoms have eased!!! The acupuncturist is really positive about getting my cycles more regular, so I am looking forward to further treatment. What I am wondering is - should I go and see my GP anyway. I conceived both of my DDs naturally (about 10-11 months TTC), so should I just be patient and see how acupunture goes????
