Let me break down the information for you and please tell me what you would do in my case. I was on the pill for 6 months and I recently went off of it in November. Since this time my fiance and I have been trying to have a baby. My OBGYN knows about this and gave me vitamins and told me to come back in 3 months.She also told me to monitor my ovulation, which I tried. I was told that it may be hard for me to have kids right off the back because of my consistant ovarian cysts. After mant boxes of ovulation tests and 3 months of waiting I did not find any surge. I was not ovulating but I was having a normal period. That was January 23, 2007, 8 days after my period ended. Now it is March 8, 2007 and I have not had my period since. I have been having upset stomach and a lot of dizzy and tired spells. My breast are not tender and im not going to the bathroom anymore than I was before.I have taken 3 EPT's and all negative, I dont want to bug my OBGYN again! What should I do?

You're not bugging your OB, you should definitely call him/her. I do know from experience that it takes about 3 months to get birth control pills out of your system completely, but since you say it has been 6 months already, that shouldn't be an issue. Your OB can prescribe clomid and that will help with your ovulation.
What have you been doing to monitor your ovulation? I recommend the clear blue easy fertility monitor or some disposable ovulation sticks. If you don't want to spend the money, I'd research how to monitor cervical mucus. Good luck honey.

You should go check with your obgyn because you haven't had a period in so long, your not bugging them, you need to make sure nothing is wrong and find out if you are pregnant. Just because you have some symptoms but not all doesn't mean much either way. Some women don't have many symptoms, and the ones you are having could be from something else. If your obgyn makes you feel like you are bothering her then it is time to find a new one, if you just feel that way then ignore that feeling and call, she is the one getting paid to see you and when you are pregnant you are going to be making many more trips and phone calls there.
The ovulation tests may not have worked, not every ovulation test works for everyone, just because those tests said you didn't ovulate doesn't necessairly mean you didn't. If you aren't pregnant then start charting your basal body temp (go to fertilityfriend.com for info and a place to keep track of the info) All you really need is a basal thermometer and a way to keep track of your temps (you can even print charts online) It's much cheaper than the tests too, but this will only tell you after you've ovulated. To check to see before you are ovulating start checking cervical fluid, there is also info on fertilityfriend about cervical fluid, probably more than you ever wanted to know. :)

First you should go see your OBGYN, don't worry about bugging them, I'm sure there are other ones that call more often. Get a blood pregnancy test done.
Since you are trying to get pregnant, if the test comes back negative, look into taking provera. You take it for 5-7 days and then your period comes within a week after that. Second, if you don't think that you are ovulating, then you might want to ask your OB about chlomid. There are mixed feelings about that, but it may be worth it.
If all else fails, you can always go to a fertility place and see if it's you or your fiance's problem and how to fix it.
Good luck!

honestly you should bug your OBGYN again because thats why you have one. Maybe they can give you one of those dye tests to see if the path up to your eggs is clear. Another reason could also be that you are so stressed about having a baby that you been having a missed period. It could even be extreme weight loss or gain, but what ever it is you need to figure it out go back to the OBGYN and see what they say Good Luck

It doesn't sound right at all for you to have gone that long without a period and not have a positive test. This likely means there is something wrong. It's your ob/gyn's job to help with problems. Don't worry about bugging him....that's what he gets paid for. Set up an appointmet and see what's going on with your body. Especially if you have been unable to detect any LH surge--that's just not right. If you want to be able to conceive as soon as possible, then forget your whims and get your butt into see the doctor!! Good luck!

I'd call your gynie.
I have been trying since November of 2005 to get pregnant, and I had 2 normal periods after that (dec, jan ) but then didn't have one for 8 months.
He told me not to panic, it's your body and the hormones leveling out, but I'd still let him know. If you don't have one in a certain amount of time, he may want you to take something to start a period.
The dizzy and stomach upsets could be from hormones also. I had that, and breast tenderness, and same thing. Neg test, after Neg test!!!!
Don't fret!!

You should never feel like you are bugging your ob/gyn, that's their job. I would seriously contact your doctor, there is no harm in asking and you certainly want to get this figured out. It sounds like you might have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is what I have. The only way for many women who have PCOS to conceive is with fertility medication. If you are not terribly attached to your ob/gyn, you might consider finding one in your area that specializes in fertility. Best of luck to you!

You should not be afraid to "bug" your OB. You are HER JOB Security. She should want you to get pregnant just as much as you do. If you are feeling like you are not getting the care you need getting pregnant, you might want to look at a different doctor, maybe someone that will focus on fertility.
Best wishes, I hope you are up to your elbows in poopy diapers in no time at all
