No perioids for a year

Hi all

Feeling very down and emotional came off the pill a year ago no periods or anything, had bloods done nothing too remarkable FSH/LH a bit on the low side. Going to see an obstetrician Friday don't really know what to expect? What are they likely to do? Is there any hope?

The same thing happened to me. Eventually I was prescribed something - sorry, I can't remember the name - that kick-started my periods. To start with they were very irregular, now (2 years later) they're just irregular.

I have PCOS and haven't had a period since February, at one point I never had a period for 8 years. Ask to be put on Provera it helps induce a period x

Hi, Did you have normal/regular periods before you started on the pill? I ask because I had a very similar situation a few years back, came off the pill after several years (I was in my late twenties) and nothing after the withdrawal bleed. Saw the GP and a Gynae... they did a blood test and found slightly raised testosterone and a high LH/FSH raio. Did an ultrasound and found signs of PCOS and these symptoms combined with the bloods they diagnosed PCOS. They also gave me a drug that induces a period to check there was no blockage or premature menopause. However I had none of the other symptoms of PCOS, no excess hair, I wasn't overweight, no acne. So I waited nearly a year with no periods and then was in a relationship again and was advised it is healthier to have regular periods so you can shed the lining that is building up so I started back on the pill. Then recently came off as we started ttc and bingo, my periods are starting to regulate after a few months and have settled on a cycle of 32/33 days. I had fairly regular periods before starting on the pill at age 20, so I really believe I had post-pill amenhorroea/temporary PCOS. No pregnancy yet but I'm only just starting to ovulate regularly. My advice, get checked out in case there is anything else going on, but if you have previously had periods and no other signs of PCOS then the periods will re-start do stay off the pill until they do... two of my other friends recently fell preg after being diagnosed with PCOS and v similar stories to me. keep up hope and good luck at the docs!
