Well last week I spoke to my doctor last Monday about my lack of periods, she was a lot more helpful than my last doctor, basically she thought maybe underactive thyroid or PCOS (never mentioned my weight!!!) and wanted to do bloods to checks hormones etc. If they were normal she wants to do an ultrasound to check whats up with my insides.
Well I phoned this morning to get results and they have came back clear, no signs of thyroid problems and hormones are all normal but still no periods!!!!
I've got a phone consultation with my doc tomorrow afternoon, anyone got any ideas what could be causing this??
Well what a bleeding waste of time, she says the receptionist made a mistake and that one of the tests (testosterone) hasnt been received yet so I've to leave it for another week and then get another phone consultation!!!
I asked her what would happen if testosterone came back high and she said it would mean I had PCOS and she would treat the symptoms! She also mentioned the pill (I DONT WANT TO GO ON IT!!) or leave it as is if I dont mind irregular periods.
I'm a bit peed off if I'm honest,I feek if I told her I wanted a baby right now she would help me but because I have told her I would like a baby when my cycle is sorted out she isnt interested.
Anyone know what I should say to her regarding babies? I actually feel like crying again
#1 - DO NOT LET THEM PUT YOU ON THE PILL AND WRITE YOU OFF!
Sorry to "shout" but they did that to me for nearly 4 years! That is crap. If you never had normal periods, I doubt it will help. It did nothing for me. Tell them that you are TTC and they will probably either give you Met or Clomid or both.
Please believe me, I know just how you feel. I have high testosterone and it causes all kinds of annoying things. Ugh! For most people, Met helps but not for me so I go back to the doc in less than 2 weeks for something new.
Do you get periods at all? I got mine about every 6 to 9 months but my current doctor (who is wonderful) says that I do not ovulate at all even when I do get af.
Feel free to PM me anytime. I am really interested in what they do for you.
Thanks for your reply, I have actually been reading a lot of your posts lately.
I'm refusing to go back on the pill, that doesnt solve the problem, I dont want fake periods anymore! If she says anything to me about the pill I'm going to tell her Im TTC, I'm sick of being fobbed off, and lets face it at 24 I'm not getting any younger and this could take years to sort out.
The last period I had was January 08, more spotting than full flow then November 07 (flooding lol) and July 07 before that, it sucks!! I had 28 day cycles from the age of 11 til I went on the pill at 18.
I just want to be taken seriously and I feel because I am overweight they dont care, my lady doctor is more overweight than I am, I thought she would understand
My last 3 periods were Dec '06, July '07 and Jan '08.
Like you said, I also wanted to wait to TTC until my periods were sorted out but I am going to be 28 in June and the damn periods will never be normal. (Even my docs say so... Guess I must accept that fact. ) That is why I did not seek fertility treatment until so late because I kept hoping things would fall naturally since the rest of my family has no problem getting knocked up, you know.
Now, my husband just turned 37, I'll be 28 and I do not want to be an old mother. TTC with medical assistance can be a very long road so maybe getting started on it now couldn't hurt, right?
If they think you might have PCOS and you are overweight, they will probably start you on Met. Honestly, most women on here it has worked for and maybe that is just what you need to get your cycles going without doing hormone therapy. Don't worry, dear! Things will work out well for you and you are still young so you have time for lots of options if it, god forbid, came to that!
I am always here if you need to talk or vent!
