Hi everyone, ondered if anyone could help, im a 27yr old woman, ive never since the age of 14 had regular periods, they've literally been absent, i used to get the maybe every 4 or 5 months,, then at 18 i went on the pill, when i was on the pill i had a bleed every month like i was supposed to, then due to my BP getting high i was put on the contraceptive injection.. i stayed on this for a year, then had a break for a year, where i wasnt on anything, in this time i had 1 period, i visited my doctor at the time and was told it was probably a hormone imbalance, and was told not to worry...i then met my boyfriend and went on the mini pill, where you dont have a bleed, last october we decided we'd like to try for a baby, i came off the mini pill in Nov and got pregnant the month after, sadly i miscarried at 10wks (in march) i havent had a period since, ive been for blood tests at the docs and they all came back normal (full blood count, hormone tests, tests for PCOS) ive got an appt with Gynea next week... but im worried/nervous! what could it be? why am i not getting periods? it seems impodssible to try for a baby without them! thanks

Sounds like you've had a lot of ups and downs in terms of medication and hormones, and that's bound to play havoc with your body. Could be your lack of periods is just your body's way of telling you it's not ready for a baby yet, but the gyni should be able to give you a better idea.

Have you lost any weight recently, or not been eating properly for any reason? Been under a lot of stress? It can all contribute and the more you worry about it, the worse it makes things.
Mine have never been very regular either and like you I went on the pill at a fairly young age and was on and off it a fair bit over the years. I presumed I'd just never really given my body a chance to get into a regular pattern and haven't worried about it - oh, and I have a 13 year old daughter so don't give up hope just yet! Good luck
