Hello I have a 11 1/2 month old baby and only had 2 periods since I had her, I went straight back on birth control after I had her and come off after 2 months as me and ny partner wanted to try for baby number 2! Ever since coming off the pill I haven't had a period. We have been to the doctors on many occasions who diagnosed an underactive thyroid and put me on medication but now all my hormones are normal again. He sent me for a scan on my ovaries and the test showed there was nothing wrong but he doesn't no why I am not having periods and it is really confusing as the only thing I want is to be pregnant again. He has ruled out pcos and the next thing on the cards is my partner has to do a semen sample if that comes back fine then he is going to send us to the fertility clinic.
Has anybody got any ideas on why my periods have stopped and can you still get pregnant without having periods? How do I know if I am still ovulating any help would be appreciated
I posted this message around 8weeks ago now I have another question in connection to this
Hello everyone it has been a few weeks since I posted my question just wanted to ask a few more things
Yesterday I went shopping and had a really bad pain it felt like something like exploded inside me and I just felt like I had to get home fast, this was at about 2pm, then on the night time I went to the toilet and was bleeding. Since the bleeding it stopped straight away and still no more bleeding today, I just wanted peoples opinions on what they thing it could be. Could it be a sighting of my period coming back after nearly a yr? Maybe a miscarriage? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
Melissa

Perhaps your body is under stress, and hasn't resumed its normal pattern as yet? Have you been to the doctor about this ?

Angel eyes22 · Jul 1, 2007, 05:30 AM

Sorry just realised that you have consulted your doctor and you said he had ruled out pcos? Have you had an internal ultra sound scan to show this ? Have you gained or lost excess weight. if so that may affect the hormones and stop you from having periods? If you have gained weight would be advisable to take up exercise and then your periods will become more regular. Do you have anything that could be quite stessful going on? Sorry I'm not much help

melissa1 · Jul 1, 2007, 07:33 AM

No not under any stress I haven't gained or lost any weight I just want to know what that bleeding could have been its really strange cause I haven't had any bleeding since but have pelvic pain!

Angel eyes22 · Jul 1, 2007, 07:38 AM

OK. It could be an infection or something? Did u have a c section or natural birth? Have u recently tried a pregnancy test ?

melissa1 · Jul 1, 2007, 07:39 AM

I had a natural birth my baby is now 1 yr old and I did do a pregnancy test on Thursday but was negative!

Angel eyes22 · Jul 1, 2007, 07:49 AM

Its hard, to rule out anything? Perhaps u should go back to the doctor or consult the health visitor if this pain is really worrying you? Have u had any pains like this since that one episode? Pelvic pain could be associate with pain in the uterus(whilst menstrating) a uti infection in the bladder or even bowels. Have u been tested for any infections? Or stis? Just to rule it out? If your worried and you feel not happy seek a second opinion from a doctor or see if u can get referred to a gynaecologist who can help with this specialist area of care .

melissa1 · Jul 1, 2007, 07:55 AM

Been with my partner over 2 yrs and haven't got any STIs had tests done 4 weeks ago and have no infection it does feel like period pain but it has been so long since I had a period I have forgotten what it feels like! My doctor won't do anything about my absent periods until I have actually missed 12periods. This is my 4th doctor as all the others I have used didn't want to help me I am going to phone him tomoorow and ask for a telephone consultation to see what he says. Is there a possibility it could be my period coming back? Oh and what is inplantation bleeding?

It is really annoying because I would love to be pregnant

alkalineangel · Jul 1, 2007, 08:07 AM

Did you breast feed after having your child? Breastfeeding will delay a period. But coming on and off the pills will also mess with your cycle. Many women become irregular. Esp after a baby. Your hormones are out of whack as it is and then you add and then remove more hormones. Implantation bleeding is very rare and is typically normal discharge laced with blood. How long have you and your husband been trying?

Angel eyes22 · Jul 1, 2007, 08:08 AM

Bless you, you have really gone through lots. It could possibly be your period. Hmm unsure what implantation bleeding is unless you have had a coil fitted or any form of conception in that sense. One of my friends id trying for her 2nd child to and she has many absent periods but I believe this is due to her being over weight. I can't think of what implantation bleeding could otherwise mean, only what I have said above. Keep me posted after 2moro. And good luck :)

For about 10 months now! But because I am not having my periods it just isn't happening

melissa1 · Jul 1, 2007, 08:10 AM

Angel eyes22 · Jul 1, 2007, 08:15 AM

Your welcome! I wish I could have an answer for you good luck 4 2moz :)

Well went to the doctors today regarding everything that is happening to me, he had a feel of my tummy and everything and just seems to think that my thyroid medication is starting to work which is making my period wanting to come back which is good news he wants me to have another blood test to see if all my thyroid hormones and things are still normal if they come back fine he is going to carry on to leave me till its been a yr since my proper period and take it from there. He said he thinks my period will be back in that time I ent to sure we will see
