Circumstances: PP and BF. DH and I had been TTA while we wait for my cycle to return, but as of last week we are officially NTNP. Our expectations are very low until AF actually comes back, but it's kind of exciting all the same!
Rants/ Raves/ NFNSQ: Re: the above--I still go here, right? Since we're not actually TTC yet?
GTKY: What is your favorite way to eat a potato? This question rocks. I'm not sure I've ever come across a potato I didn't like. And call me boring but my favorite variety might just be straight up french fries. Really good, hot, freshly fried potatoes with the proper amount of salt.

So I had my annual appt today and discussed my crazy cycles with my Dr. There were some things she said that I liked and some that I didn't. I am so thankful for you ladies because I just side-eyed her crazy.
Things She Said That I Didn't Like: *BBT is a waste of time. It's a pain and not worth it. *OPK is the best way to predict O (true) but with your long cycles it would cost a lot of money to try and pinpoint when you O (also true but she was saying to use only OPK, not BBT) *Even though you have long cycles (2-3 months) you're probably still Oing about 2 weeks before that *The only real issue with long cycles is you have less chances in a year to get pregnant
Things She Said That I Did Like: *Here is a prescription for Provera. Wait another month and if you don't get your period naturally by then, take this. *On CD3 of your natural cycle or Provera cycle (whichever is first), get bloodwork done *If blood work is fine, then we do nothing for awhile. If it's not fine then you can decide to keep trying naturally or see a fertility specialist (I'm assuming an RE, this practice is associated with an excellent area hospital for Maternal Fetal Medicine/Infertility)
So, for now I wait for either a natural CD1 or early August to start Provera. Either way, I'll know what's up in the next month which is all I want. Then we go from there. Again, thank you so much ladies for teaching me so much!
teachermomtobe, Yay for getting some things figured out! Sorry the OB wasn't totally helpful, but at least you have a game plan for moving forward.
My OB at my annual said the same thing about charting/OPKs... it's like, have any of you OBs actually temped and realized how easy and not at all time consuming it is?? (my OB was a woman, obviously with men maybe it is a different story. Lol) Especially with long cycles it is nice to have that verification, even if you are also doing OPKs for 35 days, lol.

Thanks nuggetrn, penguin129, gooselover2012! If only she understood that temping is the thing that has kept me from peeing on every stick I could get my hands on as soon as my period was "late". I'd go crazy without temping!
