I Need Some Advice.
Posted: 08-03-05 22:13pm

I donated my eggs in the end of march, to help a couple have a baby. They had been trying for 2 years and the docs told them that they couldn't without a donor. I had a period after that, on april 8th it lasted it's normal 4-5 days with a light flow like normal. After that I finally conviced my husband to try and get pregnant with out second child. But I haven't had a period since, it's been 117 days now, almost 4 months without a period, and i've taken tests and i'm not preggo. I don't know if I should wait it out, or go to the docs to see if anything is wrong. I don't really have the money to go to a docter, but I can scrap it up. Any info or advice is very welcome. Thanks

I do know that if a person does not ovulate they might not have a period. It takes the ovulation and failure to become pregnant to trigger the shedding of the extra lining in the uterus. That is present for a pending pregnancy.

If they made you take hormones to retreive the eggs, especially more than one egg, your body might not be releasing them, to catch up for the extra ones that were released in march. I believe each month a woman usually only releases 1 ovum. Unless she has a twin gene.

That is my idea on the matter I am not a dr, but this seems lke it could be the case for your situation.

They never mentioned something like that to me. I even told them about my wanting to start right away to get pregnant afterwards. But if that's the case then I have 19 more months towait until a period, because they got 23 eggs from me. They told me they got alot, but it's because i'm 22 and healthy.

I really dont know but that seemed logical. But if the just took them out of the ovary--instead of making your body release them first--i dont know, but it would still be a different story!!

Maybe I will search the internet for info on that for you. And maybe you should call the drs aboout it. The feertility drs.

Maybe the hormones they made you take need time to get out of your system, they may be messing things up--i really dont know though.

Like I said I do know no ovulation usually no period!!

I'll give the docs that did this a call, because it's very concerning. And I don't know anything. They did take them out of the ovaries before my body released them so. Plus it's been almost 4 months since then I would hope that all the drugs are out of my system by now. But I do know no period is no ovulation. I'm usually irregular. But at most it's 60 days, I watched a few times. But it's never this long.
