37, hypogonadism, infertility, help?

jenn_schneider

I don't know where to start. I'm 37. I have hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, diagnosed in my early 20s after primary amenorrhea, basically I didn't go through puberty. I don't ovulate 99% of the time. I don't menstruate without HRT, I've been on transdermal estrogen for almost 2 years (1st 3 weeks every month) & oral progesterone (1st 21 days of every month). I have a normal predictable period the last week of every month lasting a predictable 5 days. I've been with my husband for over 15 years with no pregnancies in all that time trying/not preventing.

I don't know what to do or think. Recently I've been feeling strange. My end of June period was incredibly light, no cramping like I usually get, only 4 days with 2 days spotting just while wiping and two days where I had maybe a tablespoon of fluid in my menstrual cup. I didn't pay close attention but I feel like it was darker without clots. Being on HRT my periods are usually extremely predictable in symptoms and flow. Recently I feel like I've been hit with out of this world fatigue, and I am so tearful, I feel like I need a good cry every day or I'm going to burst. But no nausea or food aversions, and my breasts are only lightly sore. I tried to take a pregnancy test today but I think it was defective because neither line showed up. Just my luck.

Thoughts? I know I'm an incredibly odd case. I can't track ovulation or cycles really because of the HRT, I'm just kind of going through the motions of what normal women do monthly so it all seems meaningless. I've sort of resigned myself to being childless (IVF not an option, maybe someday I'll adopt but right now I need to mourn my inability to conceive). But of course I pray for a miracle.
