Hello, my husband and i have been together almost 13 yr's and we have been trying to conceive about a year after we got together. When we tried for about 1 yr and had no results, we decided to get a referral from an infertility doctor..When we went to see him, i had to go through a series of tests and found out that the lining of my uterus was too thick for my eggs to drop, so in turn i don't get my periods at all and haven't received them for about almost 20 yrs..They put me on medication to thin out my uterus so my eggs would drop which they did, but i still wasn't getting my periods. At that time our finances were really limited so we didn't really persue anything. Now our finances are better and would like to persue it again as i still would love to have children of my own. This is a very depressing topic for me to talk about as you probably all could relate to some degree. I guess i'm asking for some suggestions on where to start in persuing this all over again, any and all suggestions are appreciated..Thank you!

Were you ever tested for Poly Cystic Overie Syndrom? It is characterized by an inability to loss weight, infertility, exess hair, lack of a period (which can cause an thickened uterin lining from not sheading it), and other symptoms. Feel free to message me if you want to talk.

My first suggestion is to contact the fertility doctor and go from there. See what they suggest.
I can definitely relate to the feelings you are having.

I highly suggest going straight to a fertility specialist (RE) instead of your OBGYN. I wasted over a year with mine and all he did was give me CLomid over and over. A good RE will be able to offer real suggestions and options without wasting your time, which is good. Good luck!

I ALSO WOULD SAY GET TESTED FOR PCOS. THEY CANGIVE YOU PROVERA WHICH WILL START YOUR CYCLES UP ALSO.

I agree with the others. Find a reputable RE in your area and start there. I also wasted a year with my OB/GYN and wish that I had goen to an RE sooner rather then later. Good luck!

I agree with going right to the RE and not bothering with the OB. I too wasted almost a year. If you already know you have fertility problems, going straight to the RE is the way to go

Once you get a Fertility Specialist on board that you feel comfortable with they will help with all the testing and procedures to hopefully give you a BFP! Best wishes to you :)

Like you i hardly ever had a period so when I went to my doctor she gave me Provera so my lining is now almost normal and I have cycles on my own. I wish you luck God bless!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
