Trouble TTC

New To This Board

edited July 2015 in Trouble TTC

Hi everyone. As the title states, I'm new to this board! My DH and I have been TTC since January of 2014. For over a year I didn't even get a visit from AF. I started seeing a RE in September, but waited to pursue treatment of any sort until we could get insurance that covers more. In March switched REs and confirmed diagnosis of hypothalamic amenorrhea. Finally saw AF for the first time in March (or maybe it was April..) and have been getting visits monthly, but am not Oing. I had issues with VERY low iron (4%) and low vitamin D but that's all where it should be now and we are good to go. Our first treatment is next month - Menopur with Ovidrel trigger shot then an IUI.

I look forward to getting to know everyone!

  • Hi @adorkablepixie I haven't had af in 9 months due to the same issue, hypothalamic amenorrhea, anything special you did to her af going again?
  • @ale9687 I cut back on my workouts a lot - I went from running 6 miles a day five days a week to running three. When that didn't work I cut back even more. Now I run only three days a week (walk the rest) and I don't run straight through. I'll start walking, run for about ten minutes, walk again, run again, then walk. I also started eating more to try to gain some weight. I gained a little weight and got a period for a couple months in a row, but then it stopped again in June or July. I am thinking I was getting it again because I injured my foot and couldn't run for two months. It seems like shortly after I got into my normal routine again, AF stopped showing. :/ The treatment helped though and I am now 12 weeks pregnant!

    I wish you the best of luck.
