Hi! I'm new here, but experiencing things that are needy of a forum like this! :)

I went off the pill in January. (My husband and I are using other birth control and I'm NOT pregnant) . I haven't had a period since early February. I've been on progesterone prescribed by my doctor to start ovulation so I can have a period- and still nothing yet. I'm extremely uncomfortable, crampy, typical PMS symptoms- but have been this way for 3 months now. Needless to say, I'm exhausted and waiting to have my damn period so I can feel better. My doctor wants to see me today since he's concerned as well. My poor husband has been a trooper- this has not been fun...

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'm so bloated I had to buy new clothes, and my efforts at weight watchers are at a stand-still since the hormones make you gain weight anyhow...
Any other suggestions? Ack!

You might want to try the parsely tea remedy that I posted to this group earlier. See this post:

Good luck!

Otherwise, do other good healthy things: drink more water, exercise, eat fruit, etc.

There were several posts awhile back from users who went off the Pill and had somewhat confused (for lack of a better word) cycles for quite awhile; seems like one of those things where everyone's body responds differenly, but most get somewhat irregular.

... the parsley tea thing might work; it might not. Hopefully your doctor can tell you more; sorry I can't. Sounds like no fun!
