Trying to have a family!!
Hello I am 27 years old and have been married for almost 7 years Back in 2005 right after I got married I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant and then 3 days later I started bleeding!! I haven't had a period since I really want a family I am a little over weight and I am trying to keep my self healthy but still nothing. Is anyone else having similar symptoms? I feel like less of a Woman and I am not getting no younger It just make me really depressed:(
Well you need to have a period, especially if you want to conceive. I would recommend going to a different doctor and tell them that you are ready to start trying for a family. They will most likely start you on provera to start your period and then bring you back for a CD 21 blood test. This is typically done 7 days after suspected ovulation. Most readings over 6 mean that you have ovulated (all doctors are different - some say over 10, some say over 15). They'll likely do that for a few months. If it is determined that you are not ovulating they will most likely start you on an ovulation inducing drug - clomid or femara and continue the CD 21 blood test.
I recommend using ovulation predictors (you can get them at the grocery store) or to start temping. However, neither one of these will work if you aren't having a period and/or ovulating. So, definitely start with a doctor (a new one if you haven't been happy with your previous ones) and go from there. Not having a period is 7 years is not normal and should be checked out regardless of wanting to start a family or not. Your uterus stays healthy by shedding each month.
Good luck!

My husband has a child previous to our marriage so I know It's not him. I feel like less than a woman with out my monthly friend!!
Yes in the past and I have seen different doctors and they tend to say the same thing that I am fine:( But in all honesty I know I'm not fine!! I have a appt coming up on the 24th so I am hoping they can give me something that will give me my period back and then go from there. Also I want to have various tests done to check my hormones and etc.
