Hello.
I hope you are all having a lovely Sunday evening.
I am new to this forum. I am getting married in 3 months and we would like to start trying after that. I have actually already come off the pill since September but I have only had one period since. I know some people don't go back to their normal cycle for a while after coming off the pill but I actually have a history of no-show.
I started quite young but they were never regular and somewhere in my teenage years, my periods just stopped. I was very embarrassed about the whole thing so I never told anyone until about 4 years ago when I finally decided to go to a doctor. I had a few tests done but as I was not TTC at the time they didn't do much about it other than put me on the pill that did give me a regular cycle. I don't remember what they diagnosed me with - secondary something or other. Apparently to do with the fact that I am overweight and because of that my body isn't getting rid of the male hormones like it should.
After coming off the pill I did come on twice (straight after and then 6 weeks later in November) but I guess that was just the remnants of the pill in my system.
So, I am not sure what I should be doing. Should I just wait a few more months and see if I get a period naturally (as some women have to wait a while until the pill gets out of their system) or should I just go straight to the doctor although we haven't "officially" actually started trying yet.
Thanks
Kitty
