no period after getting off bc???

Ok so has anyone else had this problem? I have PCOS and just got off bc this last month (end of May). Before bc I didn't have periods at all so I don't know my schedule without it. According to my schedule on bc I should have started last Monday. We ARE TTc but I keep testing and getting negatives. Is it normal to not have a period after getting off bc when you have PCOS? I don't want to get my hopes up or go bankrupt buying so many tests. :)

Erika,
I don't have PCOS, so I can't help there.   I bought a bunch of pregnancy tests of ebay.  I think I got 100 for around $20.   The tests aren't sensitive to pick up a pregnancy before a missed period, but they do work by the time you've missed your period.
Good luck!

Erika I don't have or haven't had PCOS but I have a couple of friends that do have it. For them its been pretty common for their period to take a long time coming if at all. One gal needed to go to her dr and be put on meds to get it started and that also jump started her fertility. Her lil dude took her about 7 months to conceive and he just turned one! Jonah is a cutie.

So basically, it might be time to talk to you physician about it and see what he recommends. There might be something as simple as progesterone cream (or something similar) that will jump start your cycle, and thus, the ovulation and fertility.

I went off the pill in April, had to wait until I started on my own before TTC. I actually started a day later than I did on the pill. Hubby and I started TTC and I found out last month we managed to get preggers the first month. I was shocked that I got preggers so fast since I had a wacked out schedule before I got on the pill and lost weight.

Wow, Congrat's!!!  Erika

Thanks! Forgot to say in my post that I did have PCOS before surgery. Strange thing is that I was off the pill before surgery and got cysts that burst. So I don't know if I still have it or not.

Erika,
I too went off the pill I went off End of April, didnt have my period figured it was coming off the pill, hubby nagged me into a pg test and we got a positive, so maybe it will happen for you too... What I hope doesnt happen is about 2 weeks after I found out I had a MC, but you might want to go to walmart and get the 5 pack of tests :)

Good Luck!!
