Just wondering! I’m 21 years old…Im overweight..I’m 175 pounds at 5'3. I haven't had a period since before Christmas, and I’ve probably only had about 3-4 periods last year. I stopped taking the pill last March, and it took about 4 months to have one. I am on Progesterone..actually just finished it, and I still haven't had a period. I took an ovulation test last month, and it did say positive. My doc stated I probably have PCOS..I showed a hormone imbalance. I am trying to get pregnant, so I am getting pretty antsy!
I started my period when I was in 4th grade by the way..9 years old…if that has anything to do with it.
Answer:
Doesn't sound like early menopause. It sounds like PCOS. Luckily, PCOS is very treatable with metformin and clomid. Also, many woman who are overweight and have PCOS have an easier time getting pregnant once they’re able to lose about 10% of their body weight through good nutrition and regular exercise. I would definitely ask your doctor about treatments for PCOS. If this is just a family physician (who may not be an expert in PCOS), you may want to ask him/her for a referral to a reproductive endocrinologist (fertility specialist).
Good luck!!!
Answer:
well if you are trying to get pregnant and you missed your period then why not take a pregnancy test?
i know a few people that only get a couple period a year, some people are just like that. we can't tell you for sure if you are premenopausal only a Dr can.
ask the Dr to run some tests and find out what is wrong and if anything can be done about it.
ideal of luck with ttc!
Answer:
Oh i also answered your other question but these are all signs of PCOS not premenopause. I havent had a period since Dec 12th. my RE is giving me provera to induce my period and then I begin clomid day 3-7. Google pcos symptoms and i am sure will find all the info you need
God luck and here is my email if you’ve any questions berna_babe85@yahoo.comAnswer:
Not to pry, but why are you trying to get pregnant at 21 anyway? Are you married and if so does he want kids also? What kind of income do you have that you would be able to support the child? Would you be able to stay home to care for it? These are questions you should ask first.
