Jen,
You can try using progesterone cream 2 weeks each cycle. This often
works and is the critical hormone for conception and gestation so you'll
be fine when you want to start ttc again. Since you don't have a cycle
right now, just pick 2 weeks and start the cream. Your body should go
along with it and hopefully you'll have a period after you stop the
cream. This may take 2 or 3 months to work so get on a set schedule, 2
weeks on the cream, 2 weeks off. Good luck!
BJ
PS-if you happen to get pregnant, stay on the cream at least until 3rd
trimester so you don't create a drop in progesterone levels that could
trigger a miscarriage.
