i have seen a doctor and i have taken meds that were suppost to make you have a cycle however it has not worked. DR said it most likely is not the weight.

Sorry your body is going loopy, mine is too. OK like a few people said; it may be PCOS (poly-cystic ovarian syndrome). I have it unfortunately. It prevents you from becoming pregnant,or is more difficult to try and conceive a child. But luckily you already have a child. (I'm trying to have 1.) I'm not a DR. either. So you should go get checked also.
They are still trying to find a cure for PCOS; however it is treatable. They don't know if its genetic or hereditary. Also don't know how to prevent it, you can get it at any age. Luckily you Won't die from it; its just a pain in the ******* *** or ovaries!!!
HOW IT AFFECTS YOUR OVARIES; Your ovaries have a bunch of little places or slits in them for your eggs, until they are to be released into your uterus. Well with PCOS; u don't have that, there are fluid filled sacs that take place off where your eggs would be. If you were to see this on an ultrasound, it looks like a bunch of pearls in your ovaries. This makes your ovaries bigger than what they are supposed to be. If the sacs pop; they feel like cramps (may happen for a couple secs. or a couple mins.) The fluid in the sacs is not harmful/toxic like some fluid in your body.
SYMPTOMS: PCOS causes you to gain weight, especially in the mid section. If you start to exercise and eat more healthy it will slow down the weight gain. The reason you gain weight is because the symptoms are type 2 diabetes. weather u have it or not. It acts like that. Like you body can't process the sugars, and it just floats around in you body; so it has no where else to go but your mid section. Which causes the weight gain in the middle. You may also get noticing you hair falling out more or its getting thinner. Unfortunately you will notice that you are growing hair other places or it is getting darker; places like facial area (upper lip), on your breasts. The knuckles of your hands and/or feet. Right below your belly button or happy trail. Basically any where guys usually grow hair, and where they loose it too.
TREATMENT: They will first put you on Progesterone which will induce a period. After that you will be put on Metformin; which will try to reduce some of the symptoms and try to make the condition less difficult to become pregnant. There is another way to get rid of the fluid filled sacs. They go inside your ovaries and zap it with a laser. Unfortunately its only good for 3 months. Also you can reduce your symptoms by doing a lot of cardio, eating better, & just try and live life healthier.
Make sure you got see a DR. before it gets worse and it can.
Hope this helpes. PLUS you can google PCOS or use a search engine on it and you will get more details. Try the Mayo clinic.com

They will give you a breast exam, and show you how to perform one at home. They will also do a pelvic exam, where you will put your feet in stirrups, and you will "opened up" with a speculum (a metal instrument), and swabbed. This is a pap smear, and checks for any abnormalities. They will also answer any questions you may have about your periods, birth control, or sex. I find that the only reason it is uncomfortable is because it's pretty embarrasing. You have to remind yourself that this is the doctor's job, and they look at this all day. Even though at 25, I still can't stand to go.

your problem seems to be in your hormones..
1. you might have a polycystic ovary. a disorder that can manifist it self with excessive hair, small breasts, putting on wight easily, irregular periods and difficulties to get pregnant. provided that u are overweight, losing weight usually helps very much... and this condition can be easily confirmed with Ultrasound..
2. you might have excessive prolactin which is the hormone resposnible for breast feeding.. and since you have bulky breasts, and you feel like they are engourged with milk, i think it is possible.. and it can be confirmed by checking the levels of this hormone in ur blood.. they should be normal by now cuz u delivered 3and a half years ago.
anyway.. you must see a doctor cuz you will need to confirm with some tests..
I wish i could help..

I agree you need to see another Dr. I saw this really fat woman on Montel a few yeas ago and she said that she hadn't had a perios in 15 years. She said that the doctor told her it was because she was so huge, so I would follow up with another Dr. and make sure that its not your size

sorry, don't know ^^; a friend of mine went 7 months without getting her cycle once, and then just randomly one day it came. Go see your doctor, it's the only way to know for sure what's going on. Some possibilities is a lack of iron and/or calcium in your diet. Good luck!

I would get a second opinion cuz I have known a lot of really huge women, and I know that they many have had problems with their periods

I'd suggest you go see your doctor. We don't know anything about your personal medical history, you say you're overweight ok... but how much?
I know weight can cause femanine issues but... you need to see your doctor.
