Q: Am I no longer fertile?
asked by: worriedauzzi on June 20th, 2009

Gosh it's not as if we WANT to have another baby .. but merely shocked that we can't. My partner and I have been 'playing with fire' the last 4 or 5 months ... yet I have not fallen pregnant. I even went and bought an ovulation kit. It said I was not ovulating. I'm only in my mid 20's ... and now my menstral cycle has stopped. I don't get what's happening to my body .. and neither does my dr. I've had multiple tests and he can't seem to figure out why my period's have become so irregular. From 5days every 28days .. even down to the time of the day I'd get it. To once every 2 or 3 months. We've had no problem concieving in the past. Our friend's joked he'd walk past me and I would fall pregnant. Now I am well not trying exactly for a forth but wouldn't mind another ... and we have been using NO contraception. Has this happened to anybody else? Gone from regular to irregular and the ovulation kit says I am not ovulating. My youngest is 10months old.

No no I stopped breastfeeding at 6months, but my period's started up whilst I was still breastfeeding. So every thing was fine up until about March this year.

hiya, i was wandering from reading about your problem, are you in full health otherwise since your last baby, eating well etc, any stress you may have suffered from or any aneamia you may have gotten from your last pregnany? i had aneamia after i had my son and it stopped mine for a while and stress has also made them ridiculously irregular!!! mean i dont know if any of that relates to you but it was worth just mentioning incase maybe u hadnt thought about it, let me know if it helps xxx

Well yeah that's why it is so weird because at the moment I'm at the best point in my life, so happy.. not stressed excersizing regularly eating well. So that is why I'm at a loss as to why this is happening.

Ask your doctor to try you on progestron only pill.
you take it for 5 days then you have a period. I went from 48 hours to the hour to once period every 3 to 6 months then put on this and periods went back to being regular due to taking the progestron only pills. Nothing showed in blood work but he tried itand it worked for me. Just means your body is making to
much estrogen and not enough progestron. Simple as that
but for some reason for me never showed up in blood work or any other test my Doctor did and all test can back I am okay.

good luck,
I do know how you feel that you may want another child and you are undecided and then something happens and you do not get to make that choice for yourself. For me
I had to have an ER hysterectomy so my choice to have another was taken from me. There are times that I see a baby or a pregnant woman and I feel sad, angry and well just plan jealous. Oh well I say to myself I have 3 beautiful daughters I should not complain.
Let me now how things are. You can PM me if you want to talk

Oh really the pill? Will that affect my ability to fall pregnant or would I only take one course of the pill? Really that's so sad! At least you have three up your sleave! Ok thanks for your advise .. I'll ask my doctor on my next visit. Smile

Looking at the photo of your awesome body worriedauzzi I am wondering if your period has stopped because of your training and dieting. Are you making sure you are not missing out nutritionally? Did you know one cause of stress in the body is training too hard for the nutrition level? Soem gymnists, triathletes and ballerinas etc do not get their period until they are nearly 20 and back off the hard exercise.

Just a thought.

Thanks yeah I thought it was from that so I stopped exercizing now I only work out 3ish times a week for an hour and started eating more ... but only thing that changed was my body fat! Haha ... so I think I'll just wait it out ... hopefully I go back to normal and don't gain to much weight from backing off the gym. Thanks for your help.

Worriedauzzi,

I'm a little confused. In your other post you said your partner is forcing you to get an abortion next week and you have one other child because you aborded the first. Now you are saying that you planned this birth and have 3 kids already. I don't get it.

I read my previous msg .. it does sound confusing.. I only have one child. I said two under two as if I kept this one then we would have two and my other child's 11months. I'm not sure why I wrote my youngest is 10months ... I guess I sort of think of the one I aborted as my first child you know.

And I bought the ovulation kit because I was told I'd stopped ovulating as my period's had stopped. At first he wanted another and now is going through depression due to work stress and that's why he wants to get rid of it.

I thought the same thing myself. I've never in my life!! This is messed up. I just don't know what else to say. Don't plan anymore pregnancies until you grow up. It's not a game. I could never live with myself if I did something like that, but that's just me.

You've never in your life what? Yes of course it is messed up. And obviously it is not a game!! You couldn't live with yourself if you did what? Have an abortion or got pregnant? I agree this sounds immature. But I am grown up .. it is my partner that is immature and selfish. He wanted a second until when we thought I was no longer fertile. Then when I become pregnant he changes his mind. I don't really see why you write I need to grow up. I guess maybe because I shouldn't just let him push me around but I don't see how that reflects immaturity.
