Hi there,
Â
I'm new to the forum and am hoping that someone out there might be able to help. I also posted this in the TTC After Loss forum.
Â
I had a medical termination on November 12/10 as a result of poor medical care and my health spiraling out of control due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum. I was 3 months pregnant with my first - a baby that we didn't think we were going to have as my husband and I hadn't been using protection (and I'd been off the pill) for 3 years. We weren't trying for a baby, but we were going to let the chips fall where they may. It broke my heart to go through the procedure, and I'm still coming to terms with it, but I lost 40 pounds in 3 weeks and was so severely dehydrated that I was barely functioning on a basic level. And then they couldn't find the baby's heartbeat.
Â
Anyway.. Prior to becoming pregnant my cycles were about 28-30 days (with severe stress throwing things out of whack on occasion) but my body is having a lot of issues recently. I started my period on April 30 and didn't have my LMP until June 20. And now I'm still waiting on getting my period. I'm guessing I didn't ovulate, but all the signs were there that I did - the change in CM and then slight cramping, swollen breasts, the need for chocolate... but all for nought. I can put down the last delay to stress from my mother-in-law passing, but I don't know what's going on now. I have all the PMS symptoms but still no period and now I'm worried that I'm not ovulating - something that hasn't happened before. And I took a PT but it came back negative.
Â
Has anyone else out there gone through this? Or has some sage advice? I know that worrying and stressing over it only exacerbates the whole situation, but I don't know how to turn my brain off! :p
Â
Thanks so much for any help. ♥
