I havent had my period since October 1st
and that lasted 3 days. My doctor gave me
12 progesterone pills and told me I should
start within 5 days. They did not make my
period start and that was in January. My
question is, since I havent had my period
for so long, am I even able to get
pregnant right now and whats my next step
to getting "back on track" so to speak? I
need to know if I can get pregnant right
now or not. Thank you!

You can get pregnant if your body decides
it is going to ovulate. You may not know
when you are ovulating so take the
necessary precautions if you don't want to
be pregnant.
I had a similar experience in which for no
reason I stopped menstruating. I went to
the doctor and had hormone injections. I
got my period after 4 injections but for
only one cycle. The doctor shrugged when I
returned and said everything was normal. I
suffer from migraine headaches which
increased in frequency and severity at
that time. I finally went to an
acupuncturist for my headaches. A couple
of sessions into the treatments I asked
the doctor if my headaches were related to
my amenorrhea. She treated me for the
amenorrhea and my period started within
days and the headaches were gone. She
wrote this up in a paper she did for her
phD. There are more studies that have been
done on this and it seems that acupuncture
is very effective treatment for regulating
a woman's cycle.

It might still be possible in your
situation. My niece was 18 when she
stopped having her period. She got
married at age 20 and started hoping to
have children at age 22. She went to her
OB/GYN and told him her situation. He
ordered hormone injections and in under
two months, my niece was pregnant--with
twins.
