no periods

[Pteridoum]

I am 28 & my periods have been pretty much none existant  for some time now. My last period was almost a year ago and that was only a couple of days. I have been to my GP several times. I have had swabs taken, a smear test, hormone levels checked and even an ultrasound overie scan for sists. And still no answers. I am at a loss and I feel like my GP has eliminated all the bad things and has given up. Although I'm not.ready just yet both I and my partner really want children in the future and this is obviously a worry. I have had dipia & implanon in the past, but I have not taken any kind of contraceptive in years & my periods returned for a short time but were short & rare. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks,

Have you been tested for vitamin deficiencies? I think this might be the next step. My friend found out after ttc for over a year that she had a folic acid deficiency and so was basically infertile without taking a vitamin. I agree a fertility clinic might be a good place to go- or at least some specialist. A gp can be an amazing dr but they're not specialists so things can fall through the cracks and they won't know.  Good luck

Something similar has happened to a friend of mine, whose period mysteriously vanished after getting off of the pill. I would suggest scheduling an appointment with a fertility clinic, where the doctors there will be able to run a more comprehensive battery of tests on both you and your partner. Whether the news is good or bad, you'll be presented with options so that you can decide how you would like to proceed. GPs are great, but they aren't experts in reproductive health and may not be familiar with the latest advances where fertility is concerned. Don't get discouraged.
