    Ooh that does NOT sound fun. MY period has been coming and going, but I hadn't ovulated in EONS, probably several years. Then about 14 days ago I ovulated. OVULATED??? I felt it. I saw the discharge. And then at about day 20 my boobs swelled. I got bitchy. And BAM shark week.

    I hadn't gone as long as you without, but I feel your pain!

    I once went 6 months without a period and then, dang it, it was back! My doctor ordered an ultrasound to check my uterine lining. That was my last period, by the way. If you haven't already done so, you should let your doctor know.

    Visiting my gynocologist in the morning for this very reason. I was also 17 months without a period. Prayers for a good outcome appreciated!!!

    Dr. scheduled me for an ultrasound next Friday. Hope to get some answers then. This really stinks!

    My ultrasound showed a thickened uterine lining. I am currently waiting on biopsy results. Glad you are going to see your doctor.

    Think my problem was to do with the fact that I had a really bad tooth infection and was put on strong antibiotics which I hear can upset your system, since then nothing again.
