Can anyone give me a hand (or some reassurance)? We've been TTC for a while, and when I visited the Dr last week, she was quite confident that I haven't actually been ovulating. I've got some tests scheduled to check it out, and an appointment at Fertility Associates next month.
I've got to have some bloods taken on day 2 of my next cycle. Which should be any day now - I'm on day 61 of my cycle... but AF hasn't arrived. My cycles are quite irregular, but the longest before this has been 56 days. Should I be worrying (I am, of course) or should I just assume she'll arrive in her own good time???? -------------

If your AF hasnt arrived by your FA appt, they may give you some meds like provera to induce your AF. My longest cycle was 72 days, went to FA had a scan and found I had PCOS and now on clomid because I wasnt ovulating my cycles were all over the show, now I'm ovulating and my cycles are 27-29 days.
Dont worry just yet, that may prolong your AF even more, just relax (I know easier said than done). FA are really good. Fx for a quick diagnosis

Thanks... I guess I'll just wait and see. I got a little worried because on all the stuff FA sent us, they stressed the importance of having those day 2 tests done... and if AF doesn't turn up, I won't have day two. Although I've got over a month till the appointment... so surely, at some point before then she'll arrive. If she doesn't, I guess I'll call them and see what they say. -------------

It won't matter too much if you can't do your day 2 bloods before your appointment I don't think. They'll get you to do a scan to check for PCOS anyway. I think day 2 bloods are more of a double check.
My AF goes walkabout for a few months each year so I knew I had PCOS before it was confirmed via a scan. I'd had my day 2 bloods done months before my scan and neither my GP nor my specialist commented on any abnormalities. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
