Anovulation postpartumFrom: Amy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 30 Aug 2001 17:41:47 -0500 (CDT)
I had a baby almost a year ago. I am still nursing, but only once a day. My periods returned when my son was 8 months old. Well, I had one period then nothing for 8 weeks. I started bleeding and bled for 5 weeks straight, hemmoraging for 1 week at the end. I saw my gyn and we decided that it is unwise to let me go so long between periods because when I do I end up bleeding too much (my hct went from 41-29 during the week of bleeding heavily). So if I miss a period I check a pregnancy test then take provera for 10 days. As I understand it the heavy prolonged bleeding is most likey because of no ovulation and unopposed estrogen. Is that correct? My questions: Why aren't I ovulating? Before I became pregnant I would occasionally miss a period or have one come 2 weeks late, but for the most part I was regular. I did have a TV ultrasound and they noted polycystic ovaries, but as far as they can tell I don't have PCOS. I am taking prednisone and know that can mess up your cycles--could that be the cause? Short of clomid, is there anything I can do to become regular again. (i.e. 1 cycle of OCP, etc.) I am desperate bc it took us 3 years to conceive my son bc of what we thought was a male factor. Now my husband's problem is fixed and I'm broken! Thank you for any advice.
-- Amy
