Hello everyone. 👋🏼

I am new here! 🙌🏼

I recently downloaded this app to begin naturally tracking my cycle. My cycles are super irregular and I’m not even sure where to start with this.

When my husband and I first started dating and things got serious, I went on birth control for the first time at the age of 20... 1 year, 50lbs and a lost libido later I went off of it. Got pregnant right away and at 6 months my son was stillborn.

Never ever lost the weight no matter how hard I tried, never regained my sex drive and NEVER felt normal again. The only thing normal were my periods at this point.

A year and a half after that I got my IUD, which is January of 2017... I got removed.

Now May 2018, my cycle is still crazy. I just had a period that lasted me a little over a month and then another short one two weeks later and currently have another (most regular I have had) period.

I went to the doctor two weeks ago about this I was just brushed off. “There is nothing that can be done except birth control” I had to tell her THREE times (I’m spelling that out because I find that number ridiculous) I do not want birth control because of my past experiences.

I felt very judged the whole time, especially when she asked me if we are trying. (My go to answer for this is always “we aren’t NOT trying” because I’m afraid of being judged) She was crude and dismissed every question or inquiry I had for her.

She didn’t offer me any type of test but asked me if I took a pregnancy test. (Pregnancy tests bring up some bad emotions and a lot of anxiety)

Just told me there was nothing she could do.

This is my normal doctor so I’m going back to my primary GYN for a second opinion.

I have a month until that appointment and I’m looking for any natural ways, alternatives or experiences anyone has had with trying to balance hormones.

ANYTHING, PLEASE!

I will take any suggestions.
