So like some of you know AF has not showed up for me. I might have had an anovulatory cycle, but since I didn't temp I don't really know.
What is the best plan - wait it out (but then for how long??), take prometrium?(my RE prescribed it to me once when we thought my cycle wasn't starting, but it did on it's own, so I still have the pills), try to call the RE and ask their opinion (I'm not doing any fertility treatment currently though) or find a GYN(don't have one right now)?

Here is what I would say if you can go get your hormone levels check to make sure you did not ovulate. If you didn't then take the prometrium. Some people go months without an AF when they don't ovulate their bodies just don't signal for AF to come. Hope that helps.

If you ahve a general idea of how long your cycles run and if this current cycle is much longer would find a doctor that can give you a game plan on how to bring on a friend. I was put on Provera to jump start my cycle. Hope you don't have to wait much longer....

I agree I'd get some kind of test to either show that you ovulated or did not ovulate. I don;t think I would take the prometruim without some kind of doctor interaction.

I am in the same boat as you (ignore my ticker).....CD 36 over here and BFNs. I didn't temp either but I did get positive opks. Did you use those? I also feel like garbage and don't quite know what to do...if anything.

How weird! I didn't realize so many of us were having crazy cycles. My AF finally came Thursday. I usually get AF at 13DPO but she was, I think, 5 days late this time. I also don't temp. I know 5 days isn't a huge deal, but I ALWAYS O 1 or 2 days after a + OPK, so I'd stopped temping. It was very confusing... Sorry, no useful advice, just commisserating comiserating commiserating THERE WE GO. That last one didn't have a red squiggly line.
