can you get pregnant if you haven't had a period?

Hello ladies! i have posted here before and just as an update it has been almost 4 months now since i stopped taking BC pills and still no period! Does that mean i won't be able to get pregnant since i am not ovulating? A few weeks ago i was getting really bad cramps but no period, what does that mean? I want to be pregnant but with no period yet i don't know if its possible?? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

Hello All, I've been stalking this board for several hours, reading all the comments. Here's my little story. I started my periods when I was 10, all of a sudden, BOOM there it was.I remember that day like it was my wedding day lol. I was never very regular, it always happened around the same time every month but it was never like clockwork. As I got older it got worse. My Doctors told me I had a "touch" of endometriosis, but it was nothing to worry about when it came time for me to start trying for a baby, just enough to make my time of the month a living hell. Fast forward a few years. I got married when I was 20. So when I was 19 my Mom and I decided that going on birth control would be a good idea, (I did not become sexually active until I was married.) just to regulate out. I was on birth control until last July, so about 2 1/2 years. My sister in law very unexpectedly got pregnant and my husband and I decided we were tired of waiting and wanted to start for our family. I had a regular period in July when I went off the pill. I skipped August and had a regular period in September (my last day "riding the white pony" as my husband calls it, was Labor Day). I took a pregnancy test before Thanksgiving and it was negative and one after Christmas and it was negative. I read on my birth control "disclaimer," if you will, that it can take up to a year to get back on track with your cycles, so naturally i was scared stiff. i thought "great if I'd known that I never would have gotten on the pill." My husband is several years older than I am and he and I both don't want him to be an old man by the time he becomes a father. Many a night I have cried myself to sleep thinking I was broken and that my husband had thrown away his chance to have a family. NOW, however, I'm very encouraged by reading these posts, seeing that you can still ovulate without having a period, reading the true life experiances, and learning the everyday woman signs of ovulation. My Mom and I were shopping for Thanksgiving dinner and I doubled over with a pain in my ovary and my mom instantly recognized it as an ovulation pain. I show the thick mucas that goes along with ovulation. I am taking the Chasteberry Vitex daily and a prenatal vitamin daily and just waiting and hoping. It's been very hard especially since my sister in laws baby was born right before the new year. I assure him every time I see him that it won't be too much longer before I give him a playmate.  To all those like me who are TTC and nothing is happening yet, know that when I ask God for help conceiving myself, I ask him to help you all as well.

May prayers, and as I've seen written on here, "Baby Dust all over all of you!"

You should see a specialist. You might have entered Early Menopause. I entered it 8 months ago and was put on hormone replacement therapy. It helps a little. I still desire another child though.
