Hello Beth,

You didn't tell us if you had thyroid tests done or not. Also were you tested for poly cystic overies PCOS.. There are lots of reasons for this condition all the way from eating disorders to ovarian or thyroid problems causing it. The sad part is as you know if you don't menstrate you don't ovaulate so I can sure understand your wish to find an answer to this. Have you considered going to a teaching hospital and checking out their gyn dept about this? What area of the country or the world are you in perhaps we can help you find somewhere to go.
