Im 19 yrs old and I dont have a period anymore. I had it from age 13-16 and now Im trying to get pregnant. I dont know If Im ovulating. I have been to 3 docs and they all say Im ok. I woke up yesterday w/ very sore breasts and took a hpt today and it was negative. Does anyone know why they might be sore? Please help!!

If you're not having your period then you're not ovulating. Have the doctor's done blood work? Not having a period for 3 years can be a serious thing.
-
Ive actually talked to a lot of ppl and they say you can ovulate w/o a period. I have friends who have gotten pregnant w/o a period. I just dont know If im ov ulating.
-
Have you had blood work done by your doctors? You haven't had your period for three years, you're suffering from secondary amenorrhoea, meaning you're not ovulating.
-
Amanda-I have not had blood work done. Do you think something like fertility blend or something like that would work? Thanks :grin:
-
Who were the three docs? Was any of them an endocrinologist?
-
Ive never even heard of that kind of doc. Sorry. Im not familiar with the names of doctors. I feel real dumb right now haha. I do think Im goin to try fertility blend tho and see what happens.
-
Sorry, an endocrinologist is a doctor who specializes in hormonal issues. My friend had a thyroid problem, and none of the doctors could figure it out until he saw the endocrinologist.I assume that at least one of the doctors you saw was a gynocologist. Do you live near a big city, where it might be easier to find an experienced doctor?
-
You need to see a doctor or specialist to have blood work done to find out why you're not having a period. Why the rush to get pregnant when you're only 19?
-
And are you saying that you've been trying to get pregnant for a while but haven't succeeded, or are you saying you're just trying now, and are worried about your fertility?And what is "fertility blend"?
-
Well, yes I am 19 and trying to get pregnant. I have been with the same person for 3 years and we are engaged and I'm wanting to have a baby by the time we're married. I feel like Im ready so I dont consider it a rush. I actually havent been "trying" to get pregnant but for about 2 years we've been having unprotected sex and I assumed Id be preg. by now if I was ever gonna get pregnant. I didnt live in a big city when I went to a doc but I do now and have been to 1 gyn. and they said bc pills will make me have my period but I cant have a baby being on bc pills but as soon as I get off bc I stop havin a period. Fertility Blend is a pill to balance hormones, regulate periods and ovulation whoever asked what it is. Thanks for everyones help. I also bought fb about an hour ago so good luck to me.

Like I've been saying, you need to see a specialist to determine why you're not having a period. A lot of times it's just hormonal related, but in some cases it could be due to cancer down below, etc. You need to see a specialist before you go any further. No pill is going to due you any good until you find out the reason why you're not having a period. I'm not going to lecture you, but I wouldn't rush the pregnancy thing. You'd be surprised how much you'll grow up in the next few years. Also, have you ever had a transvaginal exam?
-
No I havent had a transvaginal exam. Honestly I dont like going to the doctor. Very uncomfortable. Thats just me though. I know that I should go but I dont like it. I havent really started worrying yet. When I do I'll go to the doc. Im going to go ahead and try the FB first. Thanks for all of your advice though.
-
You're trying to get pregnant but you're uncomfortable going to the doctor? If you do get pregnant you're going to have to get use to having a lot of exams down there. Plus how are you getting these FB pills? I hate to be mean, but for your own safety you really need to figure out what's going on with your body. Any gyno who doesn't look into that shouldn't be practicing. You're being foolish.
-
Well, if you succeed in getting pregnant, no problem (assuming there's nothing serious going on, as Amanda pointed out). If not, then you'll have to pursue the doctor angle.
-
I know that I'll have to go to the doc if I get pregnant. Thats different. I just dont enjoy it. I got the FB pills from a GNC store.
-
I don't think something from GNC is going to help with pregnancy (at least in your situation), and might I also add that taking medication when you don't know what's going on with your body could be dangerous to your health and may make any unknown condition worse. Part of having a baby is being responsible first, and I don't think you're taking an active part in being responsible for your own health and safety.
-
Well, I know Im doing the wrong thing by not going to the doc and I feel like everyone is gaining up on me. Thanks for all of your alls advice. I am pretty sure this FB helps you get pregnant though. I did research on it and its to regulate periods, ovulation and increase your chances for gettin preg.

My wife's periods stopped at a similar age for a few years because she lost a lot of weight - not quite full-blown anorexia, but not far from it. I wonder if that is what has happened to you?
-
Haha..I wish that is what happened. Im not fat but not skinny. Ive been wondering if I actually need to lose weight to get my period. Im not sure what it is.
