Missed Periods For Years At the Time Posted: 01-10-04 00:26am
This is my first time to this site. I
have a question and nobody seems to know
the answer. I am 29 years old and I have
a 7 year old daughter and a significant
other of 10 years. I haven't had a period
in 1 year, it all started in 1996, I had
my daughter in september of 1996 so of
course I wouldn't have a period. But,
then no period in 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000,
2001 til march and then no more. After I
had my daughter in 1996 I was put on the
depo prevera shot and I didn't have any
periods on that. But in 1998 I had a
blood clot on my brain as a result of the
depo shot. And I was hospitalized for a
whole week. After I was released from the
care of a neurologist in february of 1999,
he told me that I could never ever take
any more birth control if I wanted to
live. I have been to my regular physician
every year for my physical and he says
that I am too young to not have a period
but he can't explain why I haven't had
one. He also says that he thinks that I
may have already gone through menopause.
The thing is: we want another child and
don't know if we can have another one as
of yet. Can somebody help me please?

You need to see a good ob/gyn & have
all the necessary tests done including
oestrogen levels - to determine what's
going on. I can't understand why these
haven't been done years ago!!
The other thing you might check is look up
causes of failure to have period &
causes of early menopause in a search
enging like google or yahoo.
