Well, yesterday I drank a few cups of parsley tea with ginger and although it tasted alright, I'm tired of it so I'm just gonna call it in. No period for me this month. I guess I should mention I've never had a normal period. There are times where my cycle is the normal 28 days, but most of the time my cycle varies from 38 to 50 some days. I already scheduled an appointment for my provera shot this saturday and pretty soon I should be following BonitaDD's routine. I can only hope I respond as well as she did.

Wow. Are u sure u want to do this? Have you done a panel on your cortisol output and progesterone?


I know my body doesn't make progesterone and provera would most likely make me a candidate but thats like for life, ill be doing hrt (my reason for it anyway) without the chance of recovering or adressing my output issue. Which is why i dont do cortisol shots. I want to make my own hormones not shut it off for potentially good. I had considered before but then I realized how other BC had sterilized me over 3 years. I just couldn't chance it as this can do the same thing. You can be setting yourself up. You can't quite compare yourself to bonita as she may have had regular cycles before and now she's off of it and doing fine but the shot is still in her system. It takes up to 6 months and some say even 9 to leave.

I'd say find out your reason for your irregularity and then assess all options. The weight gain doesn't happen for e eryone but its enough to scare me and I'm barely at my bmi.

I always thought that fenu dose is quite high. I know many take that amount but its more about sensitivity to hormones rather than the amount.

I did have my hormones screened like two years ago for my irregularity and the doctor said my results were normal but she didn't want to show me the test results, which I found suspicious. I should've been more assertive. I want to get screened for PCOS again because, as I said, I've always had an irregular period. Some girls test their hormones and the results say they don't have PCOS but when they get their ovaries screened they discover that they actually do. Sometimes I think it's PCOS and get all depressed. Sometimes I think it's just my diet and I should try an all organic diet and see if that solves any problems. Maybe I could restore insulin sensitivity. I don't know what I should do. Should I cancel that appointment until I find out why I don't get it regularly?

My fenugreek dose is high but it's when I was doing it religiously that I had a normal cycle.
