You need to have some blood tests done to figure out the problem - FSH
and LH (hormones frm the pituitary gland) as well as thyroid function
tests and a prolactin level. based upon the results, there may be
another therapy. If it is the FSH and LH, eithr the pill (there are low
dose pills) or Provera every 3-4 months to bring on your period are
indicated.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
