Very important and personal questions..please respond.

I was wondering if anyone here ttc or has already or any mommies or basically anyone has had problems with their menstrual cycles. I used to be regular but for the past 2 years I have become extremely irregular. This past year has been the worst, getting my ... only once about every 3 months. I know, I know..go to the doctor, I am in the process of finding one right now but I wanted to know if anyone else had this problem.

My friend told me she did and that all they needed to do was put her on the pill to regulate her. Other friends have had cysts and the like which prevented them from ovulating.

Has anyone else had or have this problem? I was wondering what some symptoms are or maybe some other reasons for not getting my period. I am deathly afraid of doctors and although realize I must go, would like to hear some personal experiences from others as to what their problems were and how they were taken care of..I dont want to go in knowing nothing.

Thanks so much in advance ladies..I feel very lucky in knowing I am able to come here for help with anything.

Noreen you STILL have not gone to the doctor?

FM Tammy and Jessica- both are OBs. But you NEED to go to the doctor. Every women's body is so different. This would be hard to diagnose without tests and being seen.

I have been irregular my whole life-- i went on the pill and I was regular --- then went off and did not get period for like two months. I have a histroy with cysts -- and was hospitalized for a large one-- so I know I dont always ovulate.... i got pregnant with aidan -- right after ( literally three days ) after going off the oill. LUCK -- the Dr,. said.... Now -- we have been trying -- and NO luck ... I am already two weeks late -- and NOT pregnant -- I took two tests. It is frustrating to be irregular -- but you should go see the Dr... it is usually not serious -- and perhaps the pill will help -- even just for a while.... Dr. said we just need to keep trying -- and possibly try ovulation predictor kits .... Good luck

Noreen, I am not a doctor but I have to say with everything that has been going on in your life lately it could be stress. I am regular but when I go through VERY stressful times of my life I become irregular for a couple of months until everything goes back to normal.

You should def see your doctor.

Re: Very important and personal questions..please respond.

There are so many reasons for irregular periods. Stress is a big one but if it is more frequent, it is usually a hormonal problem. If you want to FM me, I could give you a better idea of the other possibilities. You should still make an appointment to see your doctor. I can only tell you in general what it COULD be, you need a work-up to know what the reason is in your particukar case.

Ive irregular and it is because I have an underactive thyroid. When me and hubby try to conceive Im going to need to go on Clomid. If you need more info you can FM me.

I was put on bcp because I had very bad AF's. I would turn white as a ghost and be in a lot of pain. My cycles were very irregular & too often. I was told I had a hormonal imbalance and the bcp's would regulate me.
