Hi Meagan, Still no O yet, Im at cycle day 32 today, Im becoming really frustrated and wondering whether having any more children is worth going through this rubbish each month. I am spending a fortune on herbalist and acupuncture and its still not bringing my cycle in to line. I am getting really frustrated. About once a month I end up like this and once I even marched into my gynae and told him I wanted a hysterectomy. Im just so over it. I mean I should be in the midst of a period - if I were "normal"...

Yeah when you ovulate you get a period usually anywhere from 14 days (or more if you have a long luteal phase). If you don't O, thats why you don't get a period. So yes, your body is just doing its thing for ages then suddenly one of your many follicles that have been maturing (along with the 20 others) gets too big for the ovary and will usually spontaneously O. They say that when this type of O happens, the eggs aren't viable anyway, and sometimes you just get a period because your lining is so built up it has no alternative but to shed.

The thing that worries me the most is that this is an oestrogen dominant thing, so we are at an increased risk of breast cancer....

Im so over feeling this way. I just wish I were normal for a change and things just happened when they are supposed to.

Sorry girls, just having a crappy time with it atm...
