>Hi Tracy,

I have been going through a very similar scenario- no periods for 8 months after discontinuing BCPs. Tried 2 trials of Provera for 10 days & nothing. We did several tests, including thyroid, FSH, etc- all negative. Then my OB put me on Estrogen for 30 days, and Provera for the last 10 of those 30- the idea being to build up my lining, and it worked for that month.

There are several potential causes of amennorhea (thyroid, weight loss, excessive exercise, etc)-some of these can be ruled out by tests like the ones I had done. My best advice is to talk to your OBGYN. Good luck! >--
