So much for au naturel
I've broken down and made a doctor's appointment. Still no sign of AF and this Wednesday will be 12 weeks since my last period. Bonzo was encouraging me to see the doctor, which I was resisting on the basis that the whole point of the post-pill phase was to let the body do what it was supposed to do best without intervention. But he's seen my frustration, which has come and gone over the past while, and he doesn't think it's healthy for me to be concerned. Probably true. Plus, and this is what convinced me, while I don't want anything chemical to kick start my cycles at this point, if testing needs to be done then better to get that started now so that the waiting is at least somewhat productive. I'm booked for Wednesday at 3:45. We'll see what she says.

Hi again AJ,
Have you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility? It is an excellent book--everything we were never taught about how our bodies work. I got it last weekend, and a week ago I started charting my basal body temperature, hopefully to observe ovulation. Anyway, if you haven't already gone that route you may want to consider it.
Still waiting here...
I haven't, but I have heard the title a few times. Thanks for the tip - we'll see what the doc says tomorrow but I think doing what I can on my own is a good idea. You can chart even though you aren't having a period? So much to learn....
