How can I bring on AF so I can TTC - Very long cycles!

Hi all, Im hoping you can help me!
I have PCOS and since coming off the pill April 08 I have had incredible long cyles. The first was 76, the next 60, the next I got a BFP and miscarried, though was a normal cycle length. I Had a D&C after I lost my baby at 10 weeks (Though was told it had died at bout 6 weeks). Since this I have been waiting and waiting for AF so we can commence TTC. I has been 10 weeks (69 days). My gyn did an ultrasound at 6 weeks post D&C and thougt I would get AF soon as my lining was thick and bright, though this didnt happen so after a progesterone BT which was 2.5 he started me on the mini pill for 7 days taking 2 tablets a day. I have finished these 2 days ago and STILLL nothing. I had a tiny amount of spotting on day 6-7 of taking these pills. My Gyn is on holidays till the 19th jan so have to wait till then to ask what next?

I feel like I cannot move on as most people would have had 2 1/2 goes at TTC by now.
Any one got any ideas what I should do/take/where to go???

I am so sorry to hear of your losses :hug:. A lot of women have had success bringing on AF using acupuncture, just make sure you go to someone who specialises in fertility or womens health. HTH.

accupuncture may help you out, although if you've been put on the pill, it can take up to a week or more for AF to arrive once you come off it (PCOS SUX!!)

i would think if you're having 10 week cycles you need to speak to a gyne - there is no way you'll successfully TTC if you're o'ing so late or having anovulatory (no o) cycles - maybe talk to them about doing something like clomid to regulate your cycles

i used to have "cycles" of up to 9 months so i know where you're coming from - it's damn hard

Thanks Oscaroscar and Briggsy's girl!
I will be starting clomid, my gyn wants me to start taking it day three of my cycle. Hopefully taking the pill will do the trick and bring on AF as I really really want to start taking the clomid to move things along the way!

good news - i would say if no AF by day 10 ask for a BT to check hormone levels - you may find you're "flatlined" as if AF were here anyway - happens to me - i don't have a bleed, i just flat line...

What do you mean by flat lined? How do you get rid of the lining if you dont get an AF?

for some people, the lining will actually reabsorb over time as there isnt' enough shed to cause a bleed

for me, my endometrium doesn't build up much between bleeds as i don't have regular hormone levels due to the pcos - so when we want to start an AC cycle, they have a blood test done to see if i have a similar hormone profile to someone who is in the middle of AF - and i have had every time...

there is another drug ur doc can give u.. it starts with "p" (ill look it up) it brings on your period and cleans u out. You take it for 10 days and on the 11th day u will start bleeding. You then start taking clomid on that cycle (and becasue u have been flushed out so to speak the egg has a better chance of sticking). I did this (i have PCOS too) and i fell pregnant on my first cycle and now have my beautiful baby girl :)

HTH

other drug is primulut N hollye

it's usually gives you af within three days - but if you have no lining, there is no need...

hrmmm i thought it was Provera..

i know its a "p" drug.

didnt know there was no lining.. i need to read the whole thing before i post!!! grr!

anyhoo.. good luck sweety xoxoxo

provera works as well - but it's NASTY!

with that one you only need it three days and AF should arrive within 3 days - i had triple dose and still no AF - just LOTS of pain and no bleed
