Hello and advice please!!
Hello!
I just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm 26, hubby is 29 and we married in July. I came off the pill a week before xmas and have been TTC since then.
I have been reading few people's posts and the advice offered is so supportive that I thought I'd ask for your ideas.
I went on the pill at 17 due to irregular periods (I would usually have a period every 4/6 months). Despite many tests, they could not determine what was wrong with me and put me on the pill to regulate things hoping I would "grow of it", but my consultant did warn me that I would probably struggle to conceive naturally.
Hence my feelings of slight anxiety at now TTC!! So I have now been about 53 days without the pill and still no AF, and definitely not pregnant (I have also stabbing stomach pains from time to time and I am thoroughly exhausted). I know ppl can take a while to get AF back but I have this horrid feeling I am just going back to the same problems I used to have.
So my question is when do you think I can go to the Dr? I know I should prob wait 3-6 months but my concerns are that I am 90% certain I have an underlying issue and the longer I wait, the longer it will take for me to get diagnosed and then hopefully, eventually conceive. And I am not the most patient of ppl!!
So ladies, what should I do????
