Good News, I received my period today, I mistaken it was not four months. January 18 was my last period so it would have been three months. So since I started my Period this month just makes two month missed. I will still get it checked out cause it is far from regular! Thanks once again for the advice
Thank you kindly, that is very informative way more then what I have received in a long time! Yes I am going to a walk in right by my house to see if she will do some tests for me. I do have my period normally on the pill. Its ever since I finished my pills. I usually have normal periods for at least two of them after I stop the pill then it goes to minimal.
First, did you just stop birth control or other hormone pills. If you did, that could be the problem. If this is just out of nowhere, I had the same problem. My last natural period was August of 2007 and I'm 27. My husband and I wanted to conceive and the first doctor blew it off. I went to an OB/Gyn (had to wait for months for my Feb 08 appointment) and here's what happened. She tested me first for testosterone, TSH and FSH. These tests are screeners for premature ovarian failure (early menopause), thyroid disease and polycystic ovarian disease. Then when they were all negative she started me on a progesterone challenge to see if I have enough estrogen. I took Provera 10mg for 10 days and 2 days later I started my period. That shows that my amenorrhea (lack of period) is likely do to anovulation (I don't ovulate on my own). Because I got my period, she is bringing me in for a blood test to check if I ovulated on cd 21 and if I didn't she is going to start me on clomid, a fertility medication. Had I not had my period she would have tried another month of progesterone she would have done an estrogen-progesterone challenge to determine if estrogen was my problem. That entails taking birth control pills for 2-3 mos and seeing if you have a period when you are on the placebo pills given for cd 22-28. If you do that and still don't have your period, you have to have a very invasive test to check your cervix and uterus to make sure that the outflow tract is not obstructed. As you can see, this can be a very long process and getting pregnant with a fertility problem can be a long and painful process. If you want a child, you should go as soon as possible and start the tests. Especially if you are experiencing ovarian failure time may be critical. Try calling around and see if there is another doctor that can see you sooner. Perhaps your internest can perform the first battery of tests so by the time you see the OB/Gyn the challenges are done or in progress. Furthermore if you have a problem like high FSH or PCOS you might need to see a reproductive endocrinologist rather than an OB/Gyn. Best of luck to you and if you have any questions or just need someone going through the same thing to talk to, please message me.
