I’ve been scouring this section of the forum, but I haven't found anything at all regarding my specific issue... and honestly, I don't quite understand why there isn't already a thread about this. Does nobody else here deal with missing their period for several months at a time or even longer?🤷
My cycles have always been irregular, usually running anywhere from two to ten days late. Back in January 2008, I started taking birth control pills for the first time, and I stayed on them consistently until this past April. I was using Logitech—which are supposedly the "mildest" ones when it comes to those hormonal effects. Of course, just like all of you who use this type of protection, my periods were perfectly on schedule every 28 days. But ever since I stopped more than three months ago, my period hasn't come back. Now, I know someone is going to advise me to go see a gynecologist... but I’ve already done that. I went in early June, and she told me pregnancy was ruled out. She prescribed a ten-day course of Norethindrone, after which everything was supposed to return to normal according to her. Instead, my period that month lasted only three days total, and even then, it was just some "traces"... almost nothing at all! 😕 I am not going back to her because I refuse to waste money on nonsense. If she already told me everything looks fine on the ultrasound, she would likely just prescribe me some other garbage similar to Primolut-N again.
After everything I've been through, I have firmly decided that I will never even think about taking hormones again. Instead, I am going to try with everything I have to get my cycle back to normal, because I wasn't aware of what I was doing to myself with those contraceptive pills that everyone praises so loudly, when in reality, they are poison! I’ve been taking Peruvian Maca capsules for six weeks now, and starting a few days ago, I began taking 30 drops of evening primrose oil daily with my meals, and now I wait... Since I started the Maca, I have been feeling wonderful and upbeat. Unfortunately, I could attribute my missed period to the massive amount of stress I've faced over the last few months, but if that were the only cause, I can't wrap my head around why I didn't at least have a normal period triggered by those last hormones I took.
I realize that for me, it won't just take two or three months, but perhaps more than a year for my body to return to even a semblance of normalcy, but I am ready and armed with patience.🙂 I am eating healthy, exercising regularly, and I will continue with my Maca and evening primrose oil.😬 Maybe I'll even start some herbal teas specifically designed to regulate the cycle, and that's it.
Just to note... I'm only 30 years old, so I doubt I'm in menopause already.😁
Does anyone else have a similar experience? Has anyone actually managed to fix everything without relying on those synthetic hormonal poisons?
