When to call the doctor

Ok this month was anovulatory. I am on day 50. I talked to my doctor's nurse yesterday about some confusion on the date of my next annual. They haven't called back yet, so should I just wait until day 60 call back or should I wait? When I had Mirena taken out my doctor said that since I have PCOS that she wouldn't get worried about not having a period until it hit the 9 month mark. I know the general rule on here is 60 days. Would you wait the 9 months or call after 60 days?

9 months with no period is ridiculous even without a diagnosed IF issue.  I'd call after 60 days.

I would definitely not wait 9 months.  If your annual is soon, like less than a month and a half away I would wait and go then, but mostly because I have a $50 copay and I have to take time off work to go.  But if it's longer than that, I would call at 60 days.

Did she really say 9 months without a period or 9 months without getting pregnant?

Because if it is the former, you need to run the hell away now.

Yes she really said 9 months without a period. I went over a year before I was diagnosed by another doctor. There aren't a lot of ob's that my insurance carries. And I will call after 60 days if they don't call me back.

So her answer to PCOS is basically 'damn, sucks to be you'? You need to find another Dr., asap.

I don't know you or your doctor and through the internet wires I am still getting a bad vibe about this.  You can do better.  I'd start looking for a new doc and get a second opinion.

Were you TTC at the time? I have a feeling maybe there was a miscommunication on this. Once they call you back to schedule your annual, talk to a nurse or someone and ask them what their protocol is. My doc said to call after 60, but then she had me actually wait until 90 just to see if my body could regulate itself. It did at day 74. Now, she wants me calling by CD35 if no O. I would just have a conversation with them about what you should be doing.

If they say wait 9 mo with no AF, knowing you are TTC, get a new doc.

If you aren't having a period then conceiving is very difficult. There is no way in hell I'd wait 9 months with no period. I would not settle for that answer if I were you.

After I had my Mirena out my doc told me it could take 6-9 months for my periods to get more regular.  Maybe that's what she meant?

60 days without a period is not healthy. 

Call the doctor tomorrow and book an appointment for 10+ days away.

ETA: I have PCOS too. It doesn't mean 60+ days is ok for us. It's not. It can cause a lot of health problems. If you docotor won't see you, find someone else.

I went 50ish days with no AF. I called the doc he said i might have PCOS and wait until 90 days to call. I ended getting AF before the 90 days. GL!

 

9 months is insane! imo

Holy f**k!  9 months?!?!  That's insane!  I just had a 52 day cycle ... started yesterday evening .... I freaked out and made an appt. with my OB (like you, I was due for my yearly checkup).  I went in today and she was concerned given my history .... and was even helpful and put me on Metformin so we could skip that step at the year mark since we're on month 11 of TTC ... It sounds like you may need to find a more proactive OB/GYN.  :(  I'm sorry for your situation!  But I'd definitely call if they don't call you back within the next day or two.

Me - 32, DH - 32. We have been TTC #2 since January 2012.
Our daughter, Emma Kate, is 9. Born 10/16/03 @29w & 1lb13oz

BFP on 12/3/12, EDD 8/19/13, U/S 1/17/13 showed blighted ovum, d&c 1/24/13
BFP on 4/19/13, EDD 12/29/13, u/s 5/20/13 showed baby with heart rate of 180 bpm! Yea, baby!
u/s 6/4/13 showed a wiggly baby with a heart rate of 176!
