updated:Very depressed. Couldn't leave the house today and need to reach out to someone.
I got my test results for my progesterone back today (to tell me whether or not I've started ovulating after the bcp yet) and they were over 2x lower than last month (which was also anovulatory). I'm a school teacher, and I had to call in to work. I mentally don't have enough to give my students today. I've tried so many (natural, since my doctor won't help me at the moment) things to try to get things working again. I'm wondering if birth control may have sterilized me. I stopped at the end of August, and have yet to ovulate.
All I want to do is sleep to turn off the thoughts of why I don't deserve to get pregnant. I waited until all situations in my life were ideal for a baby. College degree, house, mariage, everything. I wanted everything to be the way I pictured for my baby. I'm here now, and for some reason I can't ovulate.
I don't want to hear that it'll happen when I stop trying (everyone says this, even my doctor...) or it will happen when it's meant to (it's meant to happen to someone who is going to destroy her baby with drugs, but not me? It's just hard to hear this)
What I would love to hear are your own stories about not ovulating after being on the pill for a long time. Did it ever start again? What did your doctor do (if anything) and at what point?
I need a little glimmer of hope if I'm going to get rid of this nausea and get up off the couch tomorrow. But please also be honest with me.
Update:
I do get my period. I just don't ovulate. I was under the impression they kind of went together, but it appears not. My doctor doesn't want to do anything until it's been one year. But I'm not even ovulating, so how can we really try? I feel that he should do something to help me with this so it's possible to try in the first place...
