Me and my man have ben trying for a baby
for the past 1 and a half years.My
hormones were checked,they are all
balanced and ready for conception. An
x-ray was done and my fallopian tubes were
found to be in a perfect condition, no
blockages, my uterus was found to be ok,
yet i cant conceive. My man has a child
from a previous relationship. It seems i
cant menstruate on my own, whenever the
doctor put me on contraceptives i
menstruate properly, once i stop, i will
menstruate well for the following 2 or 3
months then it stops altogether.
Previously i would sometimes bleed for
weeks until i saw a doctor to stop the
bleeding,this was about 3 yrs ago,but now
its the direct opposite. I have never had
regular periods since menarche, when i
started being sexually active my problems
started. Please help i am desperate.

If your last menstruation was 10/15/2006),
you experience irregular cycles and rare
menstruations (oligomenorrhea) all the
time and use oral contraceptives to
provoke menstruation, it seems likely
that your GONADAL (estrogen and
progesterone) AND GONAD-STIMULATING
HORMONES (FSH and LH) are out of
balance!!!
You could be experiencing some kind of
decreased function of the axis
ovaries-pituitary gland-hypothalamus
(hypogonadism). Depending upon the
location, hypogonadism is classed as
either primary (originating from the
ovaries), secondary (originating from the
pituitary gland) or tertiary (originating
from the hypothalamus). Several hormonal
analyses (FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone,
prolactin, testosterone, DHEA,
thyroxin…) have to be done to locate the
problem. An ultrasound scan is also
necessary for detecting possible ovarian
follicles and measuring endometrial
thickness.
You can consult an endocrine gynecologist
who specializes in these diagnostic
procedures for further help.
