Pregnancy Info HOME

Dawn- Im starting to wonder/think that maybe the pill helped you get pregnant. Especially if your cycles weren't regular before the pill. My sister got pregnant on the pill right away. Then after her daughter was born she had been trying and trying for YEARS... 9 years to be exact. I mean, we think 9 months is bad of trying, try 9 years... Anyhow, they tried everything. She ended up going back on the pill, skipped a dose and BAMB got pregnant the very first try from the pill. The pill actually acts as a hormone balancer to get everything together with just an added level of a hormone to keep you from ovulating.. but, if you stop the pill your body is still balanced but not enough of that hormone to keep you from ovulating. Remember right after my miscarriage I was put on provera to bring on my AF... well, many think that the progesterone in provera actually helped me keep my pregnancy. Provera is a form of birth control. Well.. my whole life I've NEVER had a regular period. I would go 3 months at a time without one and once and a while get 2 in one month. I never knew when it came and I don't think it was EVER 28 days after the other. If it was it was a complete coinsidence. lol... anyhow... do a google search on "luteal phase defect" I know that just because I have it doesn't mean you gals do, but it doesn't hurt to check it out. Not only may it cause you to not get pregnant, it can cause a miscarriage if you do get pregnant. All of which we have experienced. Lavendar- Cant your doctor just test you about 16-18 days after your AF to see if ovulation did indeed occur?? My friend goes every month around that day and gets a sono and not only does it show if ovulation occured, it shows how many eggs were released and of those eggs, how many were mature. For example... a few months back she had released 3 eggs (mind you they had her on clomid since she has been trying for a few years).. but only 1 of the 3 eggs were mature. She still didn't end of concieving even though her hubby checked out, they had sex perfect timing and a mature egg was released... AND she was given progesterone right after ovulation was known to occur. Progesterone keeps the lining of the uterus nice and thick for implantation. If you aren't producing enough you may not ovulate, if you do, your uterus may not be nice enough for implantion. Can also cause early miscarriages because it didn't burrow well into the lining of the uterian wall. I wonder how many times I actually might have been pregnant but never knew and just thought it was another screwed up cycle.
