XP from infertility- please share opinions
This is my first time posting on this board. I decided to go off BC in February after being on it for 6 years. Prior to going on it, I had a very irregular cycle- often missed periods for months at a time. I didnt see a gyno till my twenties, at which time she put me on the pill and the cycle regulated so I never gave it much thought. Anyhow, since coming off BC in Feb, I havent had a period. My skin is exceptionally oily, and Im suddenly finidng the need to tweeze and wax under my chin almost daily (sorry TMI). So I think its obvious my hormones are out of whack. Additionally I went off the pill because after waiting a long time, I decided its time to TTC, and now I realize that TTC is pointless if Im not having a cycle.
So I went to te doc who took bloodwork and a sonogram. The nurse calls yesterday and tells me that the doc says everythings fine, just a little bit of an elevation in testosterone, but nothing to worryabout. The doc wasnt there to answer questions.
Do you ladies think everything sounds fine? Or shouldnt the doc have put me on medication to at least regulate my cycle so that a chance of becoming pregnant could possibly occur? While I am aware I have not bene trying long at all, i KNOW my cycle is irregular- I just dont know why- but waiting a year simply to prove what I already know seems like a big fat waste of time? What do you think?
TIA

Could be PCOS-I don't know a lot about it but I do know that it causes excess hair growth. Good luck.

It sounds like you have PCOS. I would def. make an appointment with your gyn and they can run some tests for you. If you do have pcos most likely they will give you provera to help bring on your AF and then they may give you metaformin to help regulate your sugar level and will hopefully help you to ovulate normally. Let me know if you have any other questions.

That is totally unacceptable IMO. You have not had a period in MONTHS. I could see one month, but this long..NO WAY. I would call back and say you need to see the doctor again. if the doctor blows off your concerns, find a new one. This is nuts.
Good Luck.

if you haven't had your period since February things aren't "normal"- you need to figure out why you aren't ovulating.
My friend had PCOS and had the same problem w/ the hair after coming of the pill- you should get that checked out.

I had the exact same symptoms and just met with an RE last night to do the same routinue. After 1.5 hours of hearing about PCOS from an expert, I agree...I think you need to get more tests done.
I was literally the same with "slightly elevated" testosterone.
