Re: no periods since augustFrom: Alicja (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 26 Jan 2003 11:08:25 -0600 (CST)
I've always had periods like clockwork, 23 day cycles with about 5 days of bleeding. This past august, I stopped having a period. I began rapidly retaining water, with fat (water?) deposits around my stomach, hips, and thighs,literally over night. Also, depression, acne, constant breast tenderness, not to mention nausea and indigestion (uncomfortably full feeling). These symptoms continued constantly during my cycle, and got progressively worse with each month. After a few months, my gynecologist prescribed me Provera to induce bleeding- I bled heavily for several days. The next month I did not have a period yet again. I had all my hormones checked - during the luteal stage, my FSH level was 5.5, LH 1.7, Estradiol 114, Progesterone 2, TSH .062, prolactin 13.35, testosterone 1.3. I began using natural progesterone cream for several months, and did get some bleeding- but it lasted only around 1 or 2 days,it did not really flow or whoosh out of me...just very light ahd almost dry? Strangely at certain times of my cycle, particularly around 12-14th day, or near the end, i feel a bit better,breasts aren't as sore, some of the water drains,I get my appetite back. The symptoms are always there however. gynecologist has put me on diane 35,and said if I want to get pregnant later, to undergo fertility treatments.since taking the pill for a week, I am more nauseous, and bloated. getting frustrated-So tired of doctor telling me that it is "normal" not to ovulate sometimes, when I know something is wrong. Will my body simply remain this way until i start ovulating again? Won't the pill interfere with this? do I have any other options? Also, I'm 21 years old,5'5, 116 pounds, relatively active.
-- Can you offer any help or suggestions? I'm really worried. Thanks, Alicja
