I'm well over the 2 month marker since my last period, so I'm getting to the point that I need to decide what to do next.
My choices at this point are to:
1) Wait it out and see what happens (which could be another month or so).
2) Fill my prescription for provera to induce a period (which is what I suspect threw off my cycle in October--but of course I can't prove this. I had been pretty regular at about 38-40 days until I took that and the next cycle was 73 days)
After that decision is made, the next decision would be to:
1) give it another natural shot to let things happen
2) consult a natural health specialist and look into more herbal supplements or acupuncturee
3) call my dr. for a consultation
I've been fairly inclined to talk to a natural health specialist considering the good things I've been reading about it. I called two today to get an idea of how things work and what they run. One of them costs $175 for an initial consultation and testing to get your hormone levels. They seemed to really know their shit.
Acupuncture runs $70/visit or 10 visits for $500. So the whole natural health route seems more expensive than I initially thought it would be, but I guess in the grand scheme of things, the last round of tests that I had with my RE easily ran me $500 with copays and deductibles.
What would you do, gentle readers? Poll's on the right.
See, if you take provera, you will always wonder if that was the cause if you have a long cycle next time.

hmm, I say see your doctor and talk to him or her about option number 2
