Q: abnormal periods and infertility
asked by: wiggyjwt on March 11th, 2009

Since I was a teen, I have never had normal periods. They have always been either really long or I could go for months without one. I am now 26 years old and my husband and I are trying to start a family. Only about a month after we were married in June, I began having horrible night sweats and hot flashes. I went to the Gyno who did a hormonal imbalance test. The results were not good (normal FSH level is somewhere btween 2 and 6, mine was 64.Cool meaning that there was no possible way I could ever conceive a child naturally. He referred me to a fertility specialist who ran the same tests again (this time my FSH level was somewhere around 10)so to rule out a mistake in the tests, they tested me a 3rd time about a month later (this time it was about 4). Diagnosis = Chromosomal Autoimmune Disorder which when it is in relapse, should not affect me ability to conceive. We were told in December that if we were actively trying to get pregnant, that I should be pregnant by March. It is now the middle of March and I am now experiencing more symptoms. I have horrible acne, really large, hardened pimples on my face. I had a period which began the first week of February and didn't end until the first week of March, started out really light then got really heavy and light again for sometime. I stopped bleeding for about 3 days, and hve now started again.
I AM SO FRUSTRATED! I wonder if something serious could be wrong with me, but really don't know where to turn. All of this bleeding can't be good and there's no way a pregnancy could survive through that if I were to get pregnant.
Please help, if anyone has any suggestions.

Get a second opinion and in the meantime don't worry so much about getting pregnant...it is when you don't think / worry about it...it will more than likely happen.

Well it did for me. I was told that my chances were like 1 in a million...within 6 months...pregnant.
