It all started about a year and a half ago. I went off the pill, finally, after about 15 years. My body staged a revolt. First the sex drive went on holidays – severe holidays – for a couple of months. The my hair decided that it had places other than on my head that it needed to be, luckily I have a fare bit to begin with so the handfuls in the shower were more mentally disturbing than visually an issue. My period however did not come to the party at all. It was over 6 months until the first one.

The upside is that the fat started to go too. Fast. Really fast. I had made some changes in diet and exercise but not anything too dramatic from what I had done for years and not nearly enough to cause 10 pounds to drop in only a couple of months. It was fantastic and almost enough to distract me from everything else that was (or more accurately was not) happening.

In December 2009, year almost to the day from when I went off the pill, my period came back. Every 5 weeks, bang on. It happened just at the same time that we decided to go to a fertility doctor. But more about her later.
