Hi Bashful,
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. Has the doctor investigated or told you why you don't have regular cycles? Have you been diagnosed with secondary amenorrhea (lack of periods when you have had them in the past)? Here is information about secondary amenorrhea:
Secondary Amenorrhea Treatments
According to the Rice University Women's Resource Center, you can still get pregnant when you don't have periods. Here's what I found:
"According to one of the sources we found, it is still possible to become pregnant with only one active ovary as long as the fallopian tube is still intact. BUT you should truly have this discussion with your OB/GYN and discuss with that medical expert what your options might be."
Did your doctor put you on birth control pills to regulate your cycle? Birth control can cause you to gain a little weight. It comes with the territory. Did you tell your doctor you were going to stop taking it? There may be other options for you, so it may be worth calling your doctor.
As stated, this really is a question to ask your doctor who prescribed the birth control pills. Hope this information helps. If not, please let us know what additional information you are looking for.
Good luck and let us know how you're doing.
