Ovulating/getting pregnant but no period..

Hi all,

Sorry if this question has been asked in the past but is it possible to ovulate/get pregnant when you havent had your period for a while (e.g 2 mths?).

Background: ttc #2, already have a 9 mth old (which was a suprise pregnancy). Stopped pill Nov, had a withdrawal bleed 22 Nov, then had very slight spotting 4 Dec (barely anything) and havent had anything since.

I understand it can take a while for your body to kick back into action but the waiting is killing me.

Am I best to go and see a GP, naturopath, use accupuncture? I know I should be patient and wait a little longer but I can't.

Thank you

Kat

I have 2 friends who fell pg while bf and had not had a period since the birth. I have heard it can take upto 6mths for af to return after finishing bf also

Hi Kat,

I am also about to ttc #2. Little Douglas is turning six months in Feb. I started taking some herbs last month to bring back my cycle in preparation ttc. It may well have happened by itself in due time but I am not getting any younger and really looking forward to #2.

Hi Di, so the herbs helped bring the cycle on did they? Was that through a naturopath? I am looking forward to #2 as well and just want to get back on track so I can tell if I fall pregnant or not. As without my period I am just wasting pregnancy tests to see if I am pregnant or not.

Thanks Garfield,hopefully it wont take me 6 mths, 2 mths is killing me already!

Hi Kat,

I am seeing Antonia Ruhl, a Brazilian herbalist and amazing healer. She helped me with conceiving Douglas when nobody else could.

She put me on some herbs to build up my body again and I got my period within three weeks. I am really crossing my fingers that number 2 will be much easier than the first time around but I have a lot of faith in Antonia.

it happened to my sis she had my nephew never had a period and then found out she was pregnant again. theres 10 months between her two xx

Hi there
its better of for you to see naturopath, to get ur cycles back. i dont any point seeing a doc at the moment...as what they will or might prescribe you is primolut-n.....i will strongly suggest to see naturopath or chinese herbalist before seeing GP...of cos you need to get everything checked by GP initially

Thanks girls.

Babyeager, is primolut not a good idea? Ive never heard of it before, so just googled it. I have a great family doc who i saw all throughout my 1st pregnancy, already seen her for checkup etc.

Primolut is a progesterone, which Peaks after ovulation. If your period doesn't come on time, you might have an anovulatory cycle..so u need external progesterone to let ur body knows that's it's time to bleed. In terms of good o bad, I've seen lots of ppl using it but it depends how ur body reacts to it.

Hi there,
Im very sure you can still fall pg even if you havent had a period just yet.....because ( unless you have an annovulatry cycle ) your period is caused by your egg being released ( at O) and not being fertalised!
So just because it hasnt happened yet...it dosnt mean it wont happen, you just may have to wait to out a bit especially if you are still bf'ing :D

Hi Ash, thanks for the reply. I am not breastfeeding my boy, so just a case of waiting it out at the moment.

I guess I am also finding it hard to tell if I am ovulating, CM isnt abundant and I am not taking temp (at this stage, guess I might need to help me along). I am using OPK's but again dont really know when I should be testing as I am now CD 66, thought I may have had a +ive but again not 100% sure.

I am considering seeing a Naturopath or a chinese herbalist soon. I know I am only 2 and a bit mths into TTC but that is 2 mths wasted I feel as I have no idea what is going on.

Hi lucasmum...
I dont get much CM either but the start of this cycle i started EPO ( evening primrose oil capsules) and it really has worked already!!!! I have gotten loads more EWCM then previous cycles!! but you cant take it after O because it can cause your uterus to contract which obviously wouldnt work well with implantation!
ight be worth a shot for the CM prob :D
