Answer 1

That would be a definite yes. I had the same problem when I was 22 years old. It is easy enough to determine and treat. I was given provera which brought on a period. I was pregnant 2 weeks later. Some times our hormones just get messed up and they need a jump start. I would try using a basal body thermometer. You take your temperature every morning before you get out of bed and record it on a temperature chart. (usually supplied with the thermometer). It should also show you how to tell if you are ovulating (a drop in temperature followed by a steep rise). This will not only tell you if you are ovulating but it will help the doctor to determine what may be going on. So do not give up hope. I have had 5 kids since then.
