Weird cycle

Hey girls,
Currently on our 5th month of TTC and currently have a 16 month old.
I do have a PCOS diagnosis but I still had a period every single month, 28-35 days cycles.
I’m currently on cycle day 43, negative pregnancy tests since day 33. No symptoms of coming on, no pregnancy symptoms.
Anyone any ideas what’s going on? I’ve never missed a period but Octobers has run away😂😂

My period has come back at 4 months PP, I’m exclusively BF he’s never had formula.

Is this normal, am I just really unlucky. Endometriosis sufferer here 😓

I see a faint line?

17dpo and period has been late for 2 days. Been testing negative since 9dpo but today I swear I see a faint line?

Questions

I got some questions about menopause can someone help me

Struggling post partum body

Anyone else still feel a bit like alien in your own body… like boobs a lot flatter, generally feel a lot wider, hormones still feel a bit wild…

Has anyone had there iron and thyroid checked and it’s come back showing your thyroid is underactive and you have iron deficiency. And doctor gave iron tablets then on your next blood test your thyroid levels were back to normal has anyone had this happen please? Appreciate information if anyone has. Thank you

“less people-pleasing, more living” era?

Hi ladies 🤍 I’m Louise, and I’ve been navigating surgically induced menopause following surgery for an ectopic pregnancy two years ago.

It’s been a journey! I didn’t feel heard by my GPs and eventually went private to a prescribing nurse. I’ve tried several different HRT medications and still get symptoms now and again.

But there’s one unexpected change I’m quite enjoying… my “what will people think?” button appears to have stopped working 😂🙌

I love my family and care about people, but worrying about everyone’s opinion of how I live my life? My remaining 🦊 are being saved for things that actually matter 🤣

It’s made me look at life differently and think about what I want too.

Anyone else found themselves in their “less people-pleasing, more living” era? Please tell me it’s not just me! 😂🤍 xx

Another failed cycle…

Aunt flow appeared last night! Another failed cycle! So fed up! Only three months in and it’s so sad every time I get my period!

Periods !

I’m 6 months pp and ebf, no periods yet. I get random aches but still no sign of periods. How is it for you all ?

Sadness and anxiety

Lately I've been feeling sad, my body suddenly has a lot of random symptoms, I just want to feel better 😟 and I'm not sure if I'm going through perimenopause I'm 34.

Late period

Has anyone had their period go a bit crazy after getting the implant removed? 😭

I had mine removed on 21st August and my last period was around 8th–12th August. I’m now late and still waiting for my period to show up.

I’ve taken a few pregnancy tests and they’ve all been negative so far, so I’m just wondering if anyone else had a delayed cycle after implant removal and how long it took for things to regulate again?

My body is currently giving me absolutely no useful information

Husband

Is anyone having problems with hormones. I find I have started to hate my husband and am starting to fall out of love with him. I’m really not sure if it’s my hormones or if I’m genuinely falling out of love with him. This is my first pregnancy so I’m unsure if it’s normal or not

Hormones

Has anyone else been struggling with the hormones lately? I feel like sometimes my emotions are ALL over the place and I genuinely feel like I’m going crazy for a little bit. 😂 I know hormones can really mess with you, but I’d love to hear if anyone else feels this way too and how you’re dealing with it. I think hearing that I’m not the only one would make me feel a little less crazy and alone.

Cycle suddenly 40+ days

Last month was 42 days, this cycle is 44 days and counting. My cycle used to be 25-27 days. I’m not pregnant. Any ideas why this is suddenly happening? Should I contact my gyno?
