Ok so bare with me, first time posting here
I am 21 years old and my fiance and I really want to get started on a family.
I started taking birth control from about age 16-19, and stopped nearly 2 years ago.
I had a few spazzy period issues when I was younger, but nothing major, sometimes I would skip maybe one cycle, but I honestly cant much remember.
The doctor who originally prescribed me my birth control told me I could go for 3 months without taking that week long break off of it so I did, being younger I was just kinda like less periods and its safe, sounds good to me!
But now I am wondering if that messed some stuff up.
I got my period once during the year after stopping, then saw a doctor who gave me progesterone I think, for like 3-5 days to make me bleed, this was in April 2011, and I got my period in April and May, then not again until August 2011, and I have not had it since.
The same doctor also told me I might have PCOS, but it was never looked into since I got the bleed after the progesterone.
He told me that PCOS can be a weight related thing, but I was the same weight as I had been for years, since when I started the birth control, so I was kinda like why now?
About 3 weeks ago I started taking vitex to try to get myself to ovulate/bleed (1000mg/day), but so far no luck with that, I also started taking a general multi vitamin. (One a day for her)
I think the multi vitamin is making me feel sick though, so likely stopping that.
I am overweight and over the last 6 months I have changed my diet,and upped my exercise, basically from like not much exercise to actually doing 15 minute workouts every day plus walking.
I have not yet lost any weight though, and the changes don't seem to be doing much.
I didn't want to take diet pills due to how they can be negative on fertility.
At this point I am just at a loss of what to do, it is starting to make me just feel terrible, starting to just feel like having some kind of mental breakdown.
I am currently in New Zealand until May/June of 2012, so I cannot go back to my doctor for more progesterone.
I have a doctors appointment here next week to see if they can give me something, but I just feel kind of down about it.
Really just don't know what to do.
Anyone had similar issues? anything help?
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
