 Posted: 01/17/07 - 23:32 Post subject: I rarely ever have periods. Whats wrong with me!!!! |
  |
|
| Ever since I started having periods I've been VERY irregular. I've never had more then 2 to 4 periods a year. When I finally got the nerve to ask my doctor about it she said it was because I am over weight. Yes, I am overweight but I haven't always been, but I've ALWAYS been irregular. She had me take Provera to regulate it. I had my period shortly after that, but its been about 6 months and I have not gotten another one. I do have other systems that make me believe that I might have a hormonal imbalance (gaining weight, fuzzy thinking, low sex drive, etc...) but I'm only 26. Is it possible at this age to have a hormonal imbalance? I've talked to many woman but no one seems to know what might be wrong with me. I feel like an emotional wreck and it's affecting my marriage. Has anyone else been through this? Does anyone have advise? Thank you. |

| I am 25 and all of my life I have hardly had a period. I started when I was about 14 or 15 and I had a 2 day period then. I didn't have another until I was a senior in high school. My next one came when I had to use the morning after pill my freshman year in college when my boyfriend's condom broke. I got on bc when I was a sophomore in college and that made them regular again (although I gained A LOT of weight; 30 pounds in about a month on Ortho Tri Cyclen) I have just stopped taking the pill ( I went through about 5 over that time span to find the perfect one) because I was experiencing depression, moodiness and a nearly non-existant sex drive. Since I have been off of the pill, I have been a totally different person. I feel like I am me again. But, of course, I have not had my period. I know that I am not pregnant because we always use condoms (and yes, we use them perfectly). I am going back to the gyn at the beginning of August to have my estrogen and progesterone levels checked to see if they are normal. She already tested for prolactin and something else while I was taking the pill, and those were normal. She said that 3 months is the max it should take to have regular periods after coming off of the pill. My mother was irregular like me so I always dismissed it, but now I see that it is probably time to go get those blood tests for those hormone levels. I feel totally normal concerning everything else, but just no monthly visitor... |
