    You really need to see your doctor to find out why you have not been having periods. While some women will be able to become pregnant with irregular cycles, not having them at all needs to be addressed first.

    They will likely start with blood work to check for a possible hormonal imbalance. Sometimes birth control pills, or herbal supplements, are suggested for a time to try and get periods back on track. This, however, does not necessarily mean that you are ovulating, which would be required in order to have children. They can do additional testing to determine whether you are ovulating, which can also sometimes be corrected depending on the cause. I hope they are able to give you some answers.
