What's Wrong With me??
| Fri, 04-16-2004 - 4:07pm |
I am 23 years old. I was on birth control pills (Ortho Novum 777) for only a year and decided to stop taking them. That was in Dec 2002, the whole year of 2003 I only had 2 periods and one was because my gyno gave me some medicine that made me start. But since that I have not had periods. This past Feburary I had one and I was so happy (wierd I know) but once again it's April 2004 and still no period. What is wrong? Is this something that could make me not be able to have children someday. My husband and I are really worried this could effect the chances of me getting pregnant ever... I was in a stressful environment but I have since moved and settled down in a house and I have a normal job so I don't think I am that sressed about anything other than your normal everyday life. If anyone has any advice or suggestions please respond. I am very worried about myself. My yearly pap is next Month. But went lastyear when i was (then) 4 months late my pap was normal and i was simply given some medicine to start and that was it. So what's going on with me? My e-mail is mandyjosh0@aol.com if anyone has any suggestions or advice for me.

Hi Mandy (I'm a Mandy, too!),
I think you should definitely ask about it again at your next annual - very often, giving the injection to 'jump start' a period is often one of the first things they do...your gyno might have assumed no problems after that if you didn't
I can relate to your problem.My periods are very very irregular! Sometimes I will have it like every "normal" human beings,and then I won't have it for several months or even years.When I was 15 or 16 years old my mother got worried and took me to my first gyno.He ran some tests and told me that I wouldn't be able to have kids. =( He then gave me some birth control pills to increase my period. It helped for a little bit,and then it went back to where I didn't have periods.Ever since that news, I never went back to the gyno because I fear that they might tell me the same thing.(I know I know,I should go!!) The last period I've gotten was in August of 2003,and I don't know if it'll be back anytime soon this year.I hope things work out for you.Keep me posted!
