menstrual cycle question?

Question

i havent had my cycle since december, but i have taken 3 pregnancy tests and they are all negative, anyone know what might cause this? could this mean i am infertile? i have a doctors appt next week, but it's driving me nuts, any insight?

Answer 1

I had a friend that had the same problem she had a hormone imbalance

Answer 2

Could be caused by something easy like...stress, change in diet.... it also depends on your age and your current state of health.

Or it could be something else....I missed 3 cycles and had negative tests too....and :( I ended up having fertility problems. PCOS, low progesterone...etc... and the latest round of tests shows that my body hasn't been MAKING it's own hormones for 3 years. I have to get injections! FUN!Clearly, I am a worst case scenario...so don't let my situation scare you. If you do end up with a fertility problem, many can easily be treated! Just KNOW your stuff...don't just take what a doctor says as gospel. It took us a while to figure out 'the game' but we finally think we found a doc to help me....whew...this will be doc #14.

GOOD LUCK and prayers up for you! :)

Answer 3

The main sign of amenorrhea is missing a menstrual period.
Regular periods are a sign of overall good health. Missing a period may mean that you are pregnant or that something is going wrong (see What are the causes of amenorrhea?). It’s important to tell your health care provider if you miss a period so he or she can begin to find out what is happening in your body.

Amenorrhea itself is not a disease, but is usually a symptom of another condition. Depending on that condition, a woman might experience other symptoms, such as headache, vision changes, hair loss, or excess facial hair.

What are the causes of amenorrhea?
Amenorrhea is a symptom of a variety of conditions, ranging from not serious to serious.

This problem is much more common than primary amenorrhea.
Common causes include many of those listed for primary amenorrhea, as well as pregnancy, certain contraceptives, breastfeeding, mental stress, and certain medications.
Hormonal problems involving the hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, ovary, or adrenal glands can also cause amenorrhea.
Women who have very low body weight sometimes stop getting their periods as well.
Women with premature ovarian failure stop getting regular their periods before natural menopause.

Treatment for amenorrhea depends on the underlying cause. Sometimes lifestyle changes can help if weight, stress, or physical activity is causing the amenorrhea. Other times medications and oral contraceptives can help the problem. For more information, talk to your health care provider.

Good luck :)
