I have had a normal period (23-29 days) since I was 12. As of Feb. 2002, my period became irregular and has not been normal since. I started the Atkins diet then and my period skipped a couple months. In May 2002, I stopped the diet (I developed constipation and bowel problems) and resumed my normal eating patterns, which were healthy to begin with. I got my period in May and August.. then started college (I'll be 20 this Sept). My period again stopped. I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and have snacks in between. I'm addicted to fruit, love vegetables and hate soda. I eat protein with every meal (iron) and make sure I eat plenty of calcium and fats. By Nov. 2002, I didn't get a period. The OBGYN prescribed Progesterone. I took the 10 pills in Dec. and got my period a week later. (I still had the problems with constipation and even bled when I went to the bathroom...they said I had a tear). I got my period again 21 days later and thought things were back to normal. Come March 2003, no period, so I went back requesting an exam (They didn't feel it was necessary since I haven't had sex). Everything was normal. Tests for hormones and diabetes came out normal. They put me on progesterone again, which I took in April and this time they did not work. I don't know what to do. The only thing the doc here wants to do is put me on the pill. My hair has thinned out. I am tired a lot and can't concentrate as well as I used to. I drink a ton of water because I'm always thirsty and as a result, am constantly urinating. Any suggestions?
