Delayed menstruation!?!


Question:

Delayed menstruation!?

Hi there! I'm quite worried about my situation and i hope someone can help me!

I've always had irregular menstruation ever since i started my periods when i was 12; i can miss periods for durations ranging from 1 week to 3 months and i'm now already 20.

My last period was in march this year and i went to see a doctor to see whether there's any medicine i could take to regulate or make my menses come.

He gave me 2 kinds of medicine. Ferrous fumarate 200mg (for iron deficiency) and Norethisterone 5mg. I had taken them for 3 days now and nothing has happened yet.

I was wondering whether anyone has had the experience or knowledge of these medicine can tell me whether they work?

And also is there anyone who suffers from irregular periods as well? How do u remedy the situation?

Please do help! I am so worried!

Thank u all in advance!


Answers:

i would recommend against going on the pill. i went on the pill at a younger age and have polycystic ovarian syndrome now, i believe that the unnatural hormones in the pills aided in the problems i am having today.
go to a doctor, and dont let them push you around, this is a very serious concern.

i have always had irregular periods (other than when i was put on the pill) and when i was 20, my periods completely stopped, and the only reason i got it again was after my doctor put me on medication to jumpstart it again.
i was always told not to worry about it, that i was young, and there was no real cause for concern.
unfortunately, i have been trying for 5 years now to have a baby and have been very unsuccessful.
i cant help but wonder if the doctors had taken me seriously when i first showed concerns, whether i would be in the situation i am in now.
i wish you luck.

there are a few herbal supplements that you can get to help regulate your hormone levels (Vitex Berries, in pill form, as well as Red Raspberry leaf, and also Dong Quai root)
i hope you find a good solution, and dont run into the same problems as i have.

HOWEVER I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH, before adding any herbal supplements to your regimen, speak with your doctor first if you are taking other medications, to make sure there will be no interactions or side effects.
