TTC#1 after going off birth control
by PsychoFan, Nov 02, 2009 08:36AM
Hello All,
My wife and I are TTC#1. She went off of bc (ortho tri cyclen lo) in August (last 'period' on the pill was Aug 2). Since then, she had not had a period- and I feel fine- no cramps, nausea, etc. She went to the PA recently about the amenorrhea, and she had some blood work done.
Test results as follows: estradiol: 25 pg/mL; HCG: <2 mIU/mL; LH: 10.2 mIU/mL; FSH: 7 mIU/mL; prolactin: 5.1 ng/mL; TSH: 1.76 mIU/mL.
The PA says these are all 'normal' results, so we're confused and concerned about why she hasn't had a period yet (3 months and counting...). PA wants her to get an ultrasound next to check for cysts or other abnormalities.
Has anyone had any experience with this? How long did it take for your period to return to normal after birth control? Do these numbers look right for someone who is or is not ovulating??
Thanks in advance!
