As unbelievable as it sounds it has been 50 days since the first day of my last period!
Two negative pregnancy tests later... I just started taking prometrium to kick start my period.
A week after I took the first pregnancy test I called the Calgary Regional Fertility Clinic and told the receptionist what was happening. She called me back the next day and told me my doctor wanted to prescribe prometrium.
"Prometrium uses: Progesterone is a type of female hormone (progestin). This medication is similar to the progesterone that your body naturally makes and is given to replace the hormone when your body is not making enough of it. In women who are not pregnant and not going through menopause, this medication si used to restore normal menstrual periods that have stopped for several months (amenorrhea)." - WebMd
I was surprised that they didn't send me for blood work first to check my hormone levels so I took another pregnancy test... just to be sure. It was of course negative.
So I started taking the prometrium. I take two pills for 10 days before going to bed and then I should start my period within a week or so after the last pills.
When I finally do start I will call in to the period hotline and then they will start my file again and I will start the following month.
As always I'm trying not to get too down and I'm trying to build myself back up again.
The roller coaster ride continues.
