Hi...
So I am having so much trouble right now staying positive about this whole situation. It has been 4 months since I have had a period - I stopped BCP in November '08 and had one period in January, and nothing since. I also stopped BCP a year ago and got one period 6 months later, then nothing. I feel like my system has virutally stopped working altogether! A few of my friends have stopped BCPs as well and all of them are absolutely fine, getting a periods every month. It makes me feel so weird and alone! Almost less feminine. Worst of all, it feels like a constant reminder that I can't make a baby.
I feel like the more months that pass without a period, the worse shape my body must be in. Is that a crazy way of thinking? I feel like never getting my period just makes me feel like I am missing a huge part of being a woman, and TTC is going to be virtually impossible.
I am going to start acupuncture next week so i hope that helps but I just don't know. Anyone else feel this way? I'd love to hear from someone who could knock some sense into me, too, if this is being irrational!
