Hi everyone... anyone have any luck at inducing a period? YOu might not have had to... but I have very long cycles and it seems I get stuck right at the end of the LP. I wait for weeks and weeks feeling like AF is due imminently.

I've heard of parsley tea, and have tried it (but not this month) and dong quai (also not doing it yet).

Any tips?

I'm so excited for AF to come so I can start my next TTC cycle. My body feels like it needs help. And yes, I've tested and tested and tested and I'm not pregnant.

I have the same problem and my doc prescribed me pro something. I know another will chime and tell you the name. If you are up for this kind of medicine it does take 14 days but it will bring your AF around.

You were probably prescribed provera which is a drug used to induce periods. It would probably be worth getting some bloodwork done to determine your hormone levels on different cycle days.

Antibiotics brings mine on, like Azithromycin (Z-Pack).

AH. Thanks. I'm going to try to stick with the natural way, yoga and tea, yoga and tea... Maybe get a massage.

I'm betting it could be stress related as this has been a bumpy first cycle TTC for me.

Good to know there are other things out there. I am going to talk to my doc if it hasn't come by CD 50 since my other cycles have been under 40 days.

I do have progest cream but I would think I should not use it (I did not use it this cycle). It's the progesterone crash that brings on AF, right so that wouldn't be an appropriate treatment for me right now, I think?

you are correct about the cream. In fact I was prescribed progesterone to keep my period from coming.

The progesterone cream might work by using it for a short time and then stopping suddenly.
