I was a dancer (no, not .T.H.A.T kind of dancer) for over 18 years, and my periods were never regular unless I was on bc. And, yes, it was due to the exercise I got. However, the most I ever skipped was one month at a time, and that didn't even happen but once a year or so.

I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I would think that not having a period for over a year isn't normal. If you're ttc and not having your period (or even if you're not ttc), I would suggest seeing a doctor about it. Have you not spoken to an obgyn about it before? Like, during a regular exam or something?

Oh yes - I have talked to a Dr. About it. Believe it or not - they were not too concerned. They told me to gain some weight ( I did - about 15 lbs) but still no period! I knew the exercise was mostly to blame. It is hard to give it up. I know this sounds silly and so easy to do ( give up exercise) but it's my life and my job.

I can understand that. Have you seen a doc since ttc? If you're not ovulating, I can't imagine you'd have much luck conceiving on your own. You might need some medical assistance, although I don't really know what they do for that.

I don't see why you would need to give up exercise completely. Maybe you need to just cut back a bit and see if that helps.
