Avatar n tn I am 20 years old and have not had a period for almost a year. I have seen a doctor about this and have been tested for many things including thyroid disorders, pituitary problems genetic tests and hormone imbalances. I have somewhat low estrogen (29) for my age and somewhat high FSH (18). I do not have any other issues than these either. I don't know if this will definitely lead me to early menopause and other health problems or if not having a period really isn't that big of a deal.
Avatar f tn I think it would depend on the reason why you're actually taking it. I know it's used for amenorrhea and endometriosis, and that if you do become pregnant on it you need to stop immediately. Your doctor would be the only one who could really give you the answers you need since he's the one who prescribed it.
Avatar f tn got prescribed medroxyprogesterone 10mg to stop my bleeding of 2months. how long does it take to work? I been taking it for 3days and still heavy bleeding.
Avatar m tn He also told me that he hears me breathing heavily during these shaking episodes, and that they occur as he is getting ready for work (he goes to work very early in the morning, typically around 4 to 6 am). I have absolutely no memory of this, and do not wake up until several hours later.
Avatar f tn More information is that I was on birth control for about 8 years and have been taking medroxyprogesterone for about a year now. I take 2 pills per day for the first 15 days of every month.

Avatar n tn I haven't had period since Sept 28 so my Dr put me on medroxyprogesterone 10 days 10mg, but my period came down on day 4. should i continue to finish medroxyprogesterone so should i take metformin???
Avatar f tn Hello All, It's been Six days since my last medroxyprogesterone (provera) pill and I'm waitinf for AF to show and nothing! So of course her I go with the worrying. I have PCOS so the chances of me being pregnant right now without the Clomid Metformin and Medroxyprogesterone is slim to none as I haven't had a cycle since July of Last year.
Avatar f tn Hey i have a problem. I did not have a period for 2 months. I did not have sex either. I just fingered myself and I am not sure whether my fingers were clean that time. I went to the ob gyn and she prescribed me with this tablet medroxyprogesterone acetate she said it will help me menstruate and she will be expecting me to menstruate after a week but I'ts been a week since I've been taking these tablets and still no menstruation. Am i pregnant?
Avatar n tn If you have not had your period for very long, it is not unusual to go for long periods of time without one. It will take a year or two (sometimes longer) for your period to regulate itself. I remember even after four years sometimes I would still skip a month and then have double or triple periods the next month. Sometimes it also has to do with stress. Just practice some relaxing techniques a few times a week. :) I think you will be okay.
Avatar f tn I have been on medroxy for 5 months, I was taking them for 15 days during the month from the 10th to the 25th of the month, the first 2 months went really well, no period, on the third month my period showed up, super heavy, so now I take them everyday, and again the first 2 months went well, no period, this is the third month and I have had my period for 3 weeks now, but for some reason it starts between 2am and 5 am lasts for about 4 hrs and then stops, only to start again the next day at th
Avatar m tn ve gone 6 months without getting it without being pregnant or anything like that. My doctor prescribed me Medroxyprogesterone about a week ago and told me to take it for 5 days until i get my period then start taking birth control once it starts. it's been about 8 days and i still havent gotten my period. she says that it you dont get your period for more than 3 months (without the medicine, naturally) then i have a great risk of uterus cancer.
Avatar f tn Me and my fiance have been ttc for 3+ years now. I was prescribed medroxyprogesterone 10mg for 10 days. I started taking this medicine on the first of March and had a regular cycle on the 19. I didn't take the medicine in April due to me being on antibiotics. I didn't have a period in April and haven't had one so far in May. I'm usually regular with my cycles being off a few days. I've never missed a whole month except for my pregnancy with my daughter.
Avatar m tn You are a very young man and have normal instincts. You real problem is that you need a girlfriend and don't have one. Wouldn't it be better to find a lover than to take medications?
Avatar f tn If I do , shuld I use a back up method or is breastfeeding really reliable as birth control wen yu follow the lactational amenorrhea method which I am ?
Avatar n tn It is also found when pregnancy occurs or when is breast feeding. Otherwise it is secondary amenorrhea. Secondary amenorrhea is when a woman who has had normal menstrual cycles stops getting her monthly period for 3 or more months. Causes of secondary amenorrhea include stress and anxiety, malnutrition, depression, overexercising, sudden weight loss or gain (obesity),thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalance due to polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS).
Avatar n tn At the very least they can prescribe medicine for the nausea. But it can take several days for your period to start. From my experience, it was 7-10 days.
Avatar n tn I do know that periods can stop if you have lost a significant amount of weight and/or are exercising more than may be good for your body. Today there is such an emphasis on being thin, particularly for young women. Your body needs a certain amount of weight in order to be functioning fully. When you have diabetes, it is natural to be concerned about the food you eat and exercise.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone! I have not had my period exactly for 3 months. I had sex with my boyfriend without penetration.. I doubted about pregnancy and went to ultrasound twice and did many home tests but all came negative. Gyn said that my uterus is smaller than normal..(40/30/38) . Could i still be pregnant? I am not planning and i cant have baby now, so i am terribly afraid.. She gave me a drug and said to wait for period in 12 days.. It is 6th day today but have no any of premenstrual syndrome..
Avatar f tn I'm trying to get pregnant but unfortunately I haven't had my period for a year now. I'll be 28 in april. I went to the doctor but they haven't done anything yet to help. Any suggestions on how to jump-start my period so maybe I can ovulate? Natural suggestions are more than welcome. Anything at all, I'm willing to try anything at this point. Reposting this here since mods moved the previous post to the wrong section. It's been over a year of trying with no luck.

Sometimes tumors of the ovaries and brain may also cause absence of menstruation.
