Just wanted to put in my 2 cents...I made my first post last night in the thread on trying to ovulate naturally. I am 29 and I too stopped birth control and my cycles got longer and longer until I finally went in to the doctor. Never had problems before going on the BCP 11 years ago...no other hormonal indicators, just cysts by ultrasound. My doctor referred me to an obgyn who specializes in this sort of thing but for now I am trying a low glycemic diet and cinnamon, more exercise. I am not obese, just 10 or 15 lbs overweight, maybe. I too feel that there is a connection with BCP but since I went on it when I was still in my teenage years it could be that I developed PCOS many years ago but the BCP masked the symptoms. I am now taking my temps every morning and just going super healthy and listening to my body for a few months before trying any medication. |
